Not to be whiny, but I would really like for something good to happen. On a personal level. On a national level. On a global level. One of all three.

Look, I know this is controversial, but I’m on the side of the ones who **aren’t** shooting priests in the head with pepper balls.

Why didn't Democratic Senators ask Pam Bondi why she didn't prosecute Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 at the very time he was running his child sex ring in Florida?!!

Myanmar: At least 24 killed as paraglider bombs Buddhist festival Locals told the BBC the destruction from the motorised paraglider made it hard to identify victims.

Awful. It’s early but this appears to be a junta or junta-aligned attack on civilian protesters.

(Reminder: ICE has deported at least 20 people to Myanmar this year.)

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don't walk away.  
Say this: "I request a provisional ballot as required by law." Don't let anyone steal your vote.

The GOP government shutdown is about to test Democrats in the Senate on a whole new level. Air traffic control at major airports like ATL and DFW is about to go dark. This will devastate both the US and global economy. Republicans will blame it on the Democrats.

A bunch of little business cards that I printed with tetrapaks on the rollaco press with the word No! on them.

A bunch of little business cards that I printed with tetrapaks on the rollaco press with the word No! on them.

I also made up 4 'No' cards, ten stamps for ten occasions where you tell that pushy person No and you've earned yourself a treat. Say no and treat yo' self! A very people pleaser, shop owner friend utilises these by silently holding one up at customers who take the micky. #Printmaking

This is why physical media is important. Digital versions and newly produced prints will be edited, but if you have the original on your shelf, no one can edit or censor that.

Oppenheimer got a lot of praise for depicting rapid pursuit of a dangerous new technology that, once unleashed, cannot be undone, which many compared to AI. But it turned out the movies’s timeliest, most currently relevant historical analogy was in depicting McCarthyism.

After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit her with this one: "Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." Suddenly, she went SILENT.πŸ”₯ She knows.
