When my dad was stationed in Germany, I started kindergarten on the base. That's where all of the military kids went.

I got the XL size which do fit my size 12 feet very comfortably.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

A Pennsylvania parking lot with 3 week old dirty snow piles.

C'mon, you know you miss this 🙂

(I have enjoyed the snow this winter, but I'm ready for these three week old piles of icy slush to melt. We need some rain.)

I have a new post at Techdirt that is both a look back at just about everything I've written about Section 230 since its 20th birthday, and a crash course in how it works and why we need it.

So many shitheads out there claiming that every heterosexual male lusts after teenage girls. No we don't. Stop projecting that shit onto me

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

I loved it. Watching those two together is just a delight.

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.

Let's do this.

A lot of us patrons watched it yesterday, which is a nice perk.

It belonged to us first.

I feel you, my birthday is January 6.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I'm American (obviously), but I'm down with the ridicule we receive for our dumb Imperial units. Pounds, cups, miles it's all silly. So I think that makes me more defensive about Fahrenheit, because unlike those others, there's no reason to switch to Celsius. Both are subjective for weather.

That's why I've wondered why countries that made the switch to metric always switch to Celsius for weather. It's one area where it really doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Ah, I see. I'd say a scale with a bigger range of realistic temps is slightly better for weather but that's hard to separate from the fact that I'm most familiar with fahrenheit.

Same applies to you. There's no objective standard for weather like there is for other measurements, where metric is clearly superior. My Aussie friends mention how their forecast will give the F temp when it gets really hot, because 100 just sounds much hotter than 38.

It's a far better scale for weather than Celsius.

If we're just doing groups I'll go with -

Bangles
Dresden Dolls
Pink Martini
PMJ (kind of a cheat, but most of the featured singers are women)
Heart

I don't know how anyone else defines it, but I generally think of Socal as pretty much anything south of Santa Barbara. But that includes a ton of varied areas.

I think it sounds better if you say Socal, although that would include San Diego. But I'd move back now if I could afford it, so I hear you.

the skeleton key here is 'is it something the executive did under Obama/Trump I/Biden but with the limiters ripped off?' it's probably going to work. is it something entirely new and unprecedented? odds are they will eat shit one way or another.

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
