The House also snuck in a trans healthcare ban. Please stand up for gender affirming care as well.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Potato up, everybody! We have work to do.

I do put some "A" material over on Threads, yes

Idea: Shazam but for actors. Like I could point my phone at the TV and it would tell me who they are and what else they've been in.

Reality always outdoes the people who make stuff up. We have an obligation to be convincing. Reality is under no such obligation.

excerpt from link: EM: So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things. We had half a dozen or more different anonymous sources calling in about that. Well, we never ran that because we never could get any of them to go on the record, and we never could get his personnel file. But the allegations—including the identities of who made the allegations—were on one of the computers that got seized. I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it, but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid.

SCOOP: The Kansas newspaper raided Friday by cops had been investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by the chief of police at his previous job.

Read my full convo with Eric Meyer, publisher of the Marion County Record: https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper

From the Marion County Record: Illegal raids contribute to death of newspaper co-owner Stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief after illegal police raids on her home and the Marion County Record newspaper office Friday, 98-year-old newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, otherwise in good health for her age, collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home. She had not been able to eat after police showed up at the door of her home Friday with a search warrant in hand. Neither was she able to sleep Friday night. She tearfully watched during the raid as police not only carted away her computer and a router used by an Alexa smart speaker but also dug through her son Eric’s personal bank and investments statements to photograph them. Electronic cords were left in a jumbled pile on her floor. Joan Meyer’s ability to stream TV shows at her home and to get help through her Alexa smart speakers were taken away with the electronics.

It's a little adjacent to Paul Reubens's passing, I know, but I often think about how Rob Zombie worked as a production assistant on Pee-Wee's Playhouse at 19 or so, which is somehow exactly the environment a person needs to become Rob Zombie.

I have a mystery burn on my elbow. Must be a sympathy thing
