As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Update: I invited the delivery driver inside. Wondering if that was a mistake…

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Do they have the new variant version (or does anyone)? My office health center has the shot, but it’s still the older one.

I certainly wouldn’t have checked it, no matter the price, but I’ll happily take any dime that comes from Smart Aleck’s Guide. Bleed those bastards dry.

It’s tradition in our house to read the full ad copy on the RiffTrax website out loud prior to watching a riff. This write up is all time great!

I have early working notes on exactly this in my puzzle drafts, but haven’t been able to get enough for a full theme. Though calling be a β€œbeginner” constructor would be generous and someone who knows what they’re doing could probably crack it.

So, did YouTube just think you could hold up a mic in the stadium and use that to broadcast performances? Haven’t heard a bit of the anthems or half time performance. Real amateur production value.

My wife got this steel book because she worked on the restoration, and a pack of 12-15 wild dads followed us home.

2 dark red cocktails with light white foam in Nick & Nora glasses with cherries speared to skull-headed picks across the top.

Ok, picked up a bottle of Plymouth Sloe Gin (a big upgrade over my previous bottle), and we’re on! Surprisingly light cocktail. Bright and refreshing, though almost neutral in flavor. Might do an absinthe spray wash in the glass next time to try and get more anise character.

Turns out the mediocre sloe gin I have in my cabinet is actually the mediocre sloe gin I HAD in my cabinet. Alas, it will have to wait.

I don’t know that the sloe gin in my cabinet qualifies as β€œdecent,” but I’ll definitely be making this tonight

It took 6 months of processing grief, but we were finally ready last week to bring a new dog into our lives. Meet Huckleberry: 130lbs of pure love!

I really wish that movie camera wasn’t in the background. I’d be way more interested in the story where that woman somehow ended up in actual Ancient Rome.
