Mustrum's Too

God, I love that man.

What can we do to make empathy cool again?

Didn't celebrate on my birthday; today was a reboot.

Perfect fall weather, awesome massage, eating an ice cream cone without caring that it got all over me.

And then, across the street from my building, #dcnationalguard.

"Have a nice day, ma'am!"

It was, except for the occupation and all.

It is if you need it to be.

Or incontinent.

Okay, I've never done that (too ADHD for all the steps involved), but if I had better executive function, I might have done that in the past, thinking it could be helpful.

No, he absolutely does not.
One because it's exceedingly clear that he's only apologizing because the pushback was too great.
And two because he's framing it as having been maybe a _little_ overly expansive.
He also might consider who is actually the demographic most likely to commit murder.

Official motto of people with ADHD everywhere

Hah, I liked it because I have pet birds and one has a disability and can't be loose in the aviary. She isn't in a cage, she's just safely housed

They're *already* shutting down the government!
Go poke your head into a few Federal agencies - talk to the staff, not the quisling political appointees.
All you've done is give the Visigoths cover to destroy our country before people wake up to what has been done.

Wait, your cat's named for the sandals that people's moms threw at them instead of getting up for a wooden spoon, as is proper?

I'm also curious about DOGE's funding.

Someone needs to pull out their copy of the Antideficiency Act and look at what the funding was allocated for and what it's being used for.

I think, although I certainly hope this is not the case, that there might be some discrepancies.

Interestingly, what Musk seems to be doing doesn't seem to have much to do with what is described in the EO

Well, there's the Privacy Act. I can't even imagine what someone could have claimed to meet the threshold that Musk had "need to know" that much personally identifiable information (PII).

Wait what?!?
We will fight them in the bookstores, from our ereaders, and in the libraries (but quietly, for we respect the other people who may, in that moment really need to get a paper finished and promise that they'll join us in the trenches once later).
Is 2025 the year we hit peak stupid?

Glad I don't have to write *that* notification of data breach email.
I mean, do you start out, "So, funny story, guy walks into our office and told us to hand over all your information. So we did.

"Hehe, anyway, here, have a free coupon for $50 so you can sign up for a year of credit monitoring."

That's the thing I don't get - he wasn't elected or appointed. Where is the small child to point out, in a clear and carrying voice: This man has no authority!

And fascist - I think some people are mostly in it for the fascism. The bigotry is just the lagniappe.

Just when you think they honest to God can't get any lower, they yell "hold my beer" and plummet to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Okay, I have a knowledge gap here - is there some reason why women are uniquely qualified to make money "streaming fortnite on twitch" ?
I could ask my nephews, but sometimes those questions lead to awkward pauses.

God, that's just embarrassing.

The joke used to be that in NY you'd read the Times and laugh at the Post, and the other way round in DC. Now I'm not sure we even have a paper of record any more.

Maybe this is The Epoch Times' opportunity to break into the big leagues.

I want to know why they're pretending to be quadrupeds.

Watch, he just brushes the ground w/a front door every once in a while.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?!!

For me, the first flag is the "come here."
He's starting by putting himself in control.
Of course there are lots of non-troubling reasons why one person might call another over. But in context it's another indicator.

He wants sex with a woman, but his focus is on men.

Difference

Yeah, when she said she hoped that "we'd get AG" she wasn't speaking generally about getting a well-qualified nominee.

Red Shirts

Vaccinated for everything that was available at the time. My mother probably had a mild case of polio when she was young and would have been appalled at the idea that anyone would be so moronic as to disrupt the availability of something that did so much good.

We don't have an effective way to combat, or even identify, structural violence, because it's so woven into the fabric of how our society works. We just accept it as the way things are.

It's deeper than issues of the rule of law. Structural violence is typically legal, because, who makes the laws?

Cutest haka ever!

Maybe they just MST3Ked those parts.
