Welp, time for me to head home! <holds nose and takes a deep breath, inflating head like a balloon and floating away into the evening sky>

Support for ban on sex toys

As attorney general, Abbott unsuccessfully defended Texas's ban on sex toys.[40] He said Texas had a legitimate interest in "discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex and the pursuit of sexual gratification unrelated to procreation."[40]

What a weird thing to care about, Mr. Abbott!

As galling as that is, I kind of appreciate this as a distraction for him. If he can just focus on nesting for the next 3.5 years, I'll take it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just a coward. All that bluster and a day long filibuster just to burn up that good will being spineless

I get the fear, but this isn't Russia and he's not even as smart as Stalin. Even if the election is a sham, he can't hold a regime together forever. And the clowns he's got around him can't either.

Hell yeah it is. Gotta open it cleanly, otherwise it won't close or roll up properly.

Pepper spray probably makes more sense than a knife if you're feeling vulnerable. But I definitely get the anxiety around weapons. Easy to make things worse.

Ahh, thanks for clarifying. Yeah, l'm not walking around with a big fighting knife. That's just asking for trouble. The post the shredder-guy was responding to showed some weird dude's everyday-carry kit, and it had a little folding pocket knife in it, which I think is okay. But intent matters

Buddy: do you have a knife?

Me, swelling with pride: As a matter of fact, yes, I DO have a knife! Here ya go, pal!

Buddy: thanks <eyebrow-raised sideways glance at me as he takes the knife>

I... confess I like carrying my pocket knife. I don't expect to knife-fight anyone, because I just don't live that kind of life. But it's a cool knife. I just like having it. This is something I haven't outgrown since boy scouts. Knives and multitools are mostly just cool little toys.

This is the best perspective I've seen so far on the allegations of rape and sexual abuse against Trump. It makes a stronger argument than simply reposting memes.

The Actual Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Trump and Epstein Itโ€™s not what you think it is.

The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trumpโ€™s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...
