Ah, you’re the best!

It’s been awhile and a stroke and a right side paralysis hasn’t helped. But I’m still kicking!

"Dear Ken, fuck off."

[Texas'] demand gave the hospital until Dec. 7 to produce documents to the OAG for the agency to identify the following, including:

"Protocol/guidance on how to “wean” a Texas child off gender transitioning care"

Seattle Hospital sues after Texas Attorney General asks for handover of patient records The Seattle Children’s Hospital filed a lawsuit in Travis County District Court on Dec. 7 against the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG), after that agency requested documents related…

TX Attorney General Ken Paxton is demanding Seattle Children's Hospital turn over medical records of any transgender Texas resident under 18 who has accessed gender-affirming care at the WA-based clinic. SCH has sued Paxton who has no authority to prosecute care accessed outside of Texas.

If you're a mainstream outlet and you're being gamed this easily by a guy who is laying out his playbook days or months in advance, maybe the problem isn't the right-wing grifters.

Maybe the problem, after all, is the mainstream places that allow themselves to be gamed by carnies.

In the context of the Substack statement, let me repeat what I keep repeating about Nazis:

The Nazis are always the bad guys.

You do not, under any circumstances, need them for a robust political discourse.

The police officer who searched for a book in a Great Barrington classroom also used a body camera. ... The ACLU is looking further into why and how police thought it was their place to go looking for a book in a classroom.

Great Barrington Declaration:
Great Barrington: That's not who we are.
Great Barrington Declaration:
Great Barrington:

“That’s partly what is so concerning,” said Ruth A. Bourquin, senior and managing attorney for the ACLU of Massachusetts. “Police going into schools and searching for books is the sort of thing you hear about in communist China and Russia. What are we doing?”

The book: _Gender Queer_.

Try North Beach then head down to the little Italian or Chinese corner grocers. Don’t be shy to ask the owners or staff!

Schumer on Trump’s “poisoning the blood” comments: “What Donald Trump said and did was despicable, but we do have a problem at the border and Democrats know we have to solve that problem, but in keeping with our principles.”

Democrats truly excel at ceding the terms of debate. This could have been a layup….

Getting into the holiday spirit.

I love this notion. A couple of weeks ago I did a tiny version of this, taking a bus from Ballard to downtown, up Capitol Hill and then to Roosevelt by light rail stations I hadn’t been to yet, back home via Metro bus. It was sooo easy.

Pope Francis Allows Priests to Bless Same-Sex Relationships A church official said the blessings amounted to “a real development” that nevertheless did not amend “the traditional doctrine of the Church about marriage.”

This is significant, not only for spiritual solace of Gay couples, but if the Catholic judges on the Supreme Court actually believe Catholic doctrine. (Harder to overturn Obergefell, unless they aren't faithful, but simply bigoted hypocrites.)

Our fucking tortoise, a rampaging tank, having just taken out a hand wash sink, stomping away and pulling it by the corrugated hose.

Goddamnit, Jeremy.

CNN header: YES, DORITOS-FLAVORED BOOZE IS NOW A THING. Image: a black box and next to it, a Satanjc red bottle containing the Doritos Juice, it looks truly evil, like it is just itching to fuck your entire life up

Nobody is making good decisions on the Doritos Juice — this is how you end up in messy clown makeup at an abandoned amusement park fighting a raccoon horde using a dildo you don’t own as your only weapon

The world is still deceiv’d with ornament.
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
But, being season’d with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil?

I’ve framed and hung 4 doors in this house from scratch. Every one was an adventure in Euclidean geometry.

The way Andrew Tate has only risen in prominence since being investigated and jailed for rape/human trafficking — in conversation with a presidential candidate and tech billionaire today — just goes to show how easy it is for alleged traffickers to achieve status and power in full public view
