Dangit Torch, I didn't need to have that in my brain right now.
The wording is vague, and that's the point. To have sweepingly broad reasons to commit people
Let's be clear: this is one step closer to broadly rounding up folks for being "abnormal" or "wrong"
Remember how being trans used to be considered a mental disorder? Or homosexuality?
🚨🚨🚨 While the fresh Palantir/Epi-X news post is bad, an EO today is much worse 🚨🚨🚨
As written, the point is to commit people "with mental illness who pose a danger to others OR are living on the streets"

OH! I missed one:
"GIT OUT THE DAMN CLOSET YOU GREMLIN"
#HappyPride
Things I have said in multiple contexts in different tones of voice:
"What was that?"
"Are you being naughty?"
"Well hi there baby"
"Come here. Now."
"You've been very good today"
Do I mostly say them to my cat? Yes. Have I said them....elsewhere? Also yes.
cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.
Such violence!
This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.
🚨🚨🚨Friendly PSA: I, like everybody else, am thoroughly enjoying the live action soap opera going on today. We have earned our giggles. But don’t forget that they are known to use distraction techniques to try to sneak stuff by us. So enjoy, but don’t lose all focus. That is all. Resume giggling 🤣🤣🤣
Oh hai, local Queer Chaos Gremlin reminding you I'm adorable and queer and chaotic.
Oh Sir Terry, what a gift you brought with the Discworld series.
Get your end-of-life shit together. I'm serious. Write a will. Make sure someone knows where your passwords and important papers are (do YOU even know where they are?). Get life insurance if you have dependents. IN WRITING, have an aftercare plan. Don't just leave it and hope for the best. Trust me.
it’s monday again
Anecdotally, the vet and vet techs groups I'm in are almost 0% excited re: the "dire wolves". The majority of the comments are concerns about it being unethical, a cash grab, a ploy for attention, a waste of money, generally wasteful, an inaccurate claim, or a mix of all of the above.
Can...can I join too? I'd love to listen to your snark!
By and large, these aren't "tariffs" per se, which try to balance prices. It's more like an embargo. The port fees on ships made in China, due to start April 17, would by themselves render unprofitable huge amounts of low-margin trade used throughout our economy. Stuff which we don't make here.
oh man the TB situation is going to be really bad, because TB has, for good reason, *incredibly* tight quarantine rules that are monitored by staff that are no longer going to be there.

Y'ens, this is INSANE: ,@oliverdarcy.bsky.social reported last night that a bipartisan group of five former FCC officials are...urging Carr to drop the agency's "60 Minutes" proceeding...Carr reacted to the news by sending Darcy a GIF of "Dr. Evil" saying "How about no!'
THIS IS NOT NORMAL
I'm so stoked! One of the guys I watch on Twitch used to work for GI (does again?) and he's been hinting for AGES that something was in the works.

Sometimes Lion Cuts are the best and safest solution. Once she gets over the teo-day twitches, I'm sure she'll be so much comfier!
Oh she said "NOT TODAY ASSHOLE" and went *straight* for the hair. Gods all bless her and her strength
In normal times, this is grounds for both immediate resignation as well as criminal charges
For God’s sake, lords, give signal to the fight.
"your opinion is worthless, shut the fuck up" is exactly the correct response to all the racist transphobic whiners bitching about the existence of anyone who isn't a white male in video games
you are lov’d
