Do Schadenfreude in private if you must, but now is the time to try to see who can be reached rather than sneering.

Yeah, I can't stomach it at all.

Huh, well, I hope Google also removed Christmas and Easter from their calendar app.

What are folks using for email and calendaring that isn't Google?

While Tables Burn: On the (Non) Existence of Trans People and the Failure of Philosophy (guest post) - Daily Nous "There are indeed consequences when we punch down or pretend that what is, in fact, a hostile attack, is merely 'inquiry for inquiry’s sake.'

These are various, very powerful tests that we put to use. And they were terminated by Biden. And Biden went by a standard that seeks the exact opposite. So we don’t know. But we do know that you had two planes at the same level. You had a helicopter and a plane.

“It just could have been. We have a high standard. We’ve had a much higher standard than anybody else. And there are things where you have to go by brainpower. You have to go by psychological quality, and psychological quality is a very important element of it.

A testament to human adaptiveness!

My dogs' evening farts have become a source of comfort in these trying times.

Maybe they’re unconsciously trying to show us how scared they have been by making us feel it.

The call is coming from inside the house.

If you meet a MAGA on the street, would it be rude to say, "Oh hey, dude, my mother in-law is MAGA. Maybe you know her?"

I don't want to watch Fox News, but I'd like to read conversations and comments by "regular ol" MAGA to understand what they think is happening right now. How does one look outside of their bubble? My MAGA family members are too freaked out by my wife's trans-ness to offer anything useful.

For folk defending Musk: if there's no reason to get upset about what he did, then you do it. Now. Go into the street and copy him. Do it in the office. Right now. Stand up at your desk and do it. If we're wrong and you're right, get your kid to do it. Do it in front of your parents. Prove us wrong.

Do any SLC locals know anything about the restaurant HandoSake? I have some concerns, but caution is warranted, you know?

I guess it's not surprising that Whitehouse dot gov was totally sacked, and the White House Instagram was gutted. Creepy as can be.

Trump declares war on transgender people "We are not going anywhere, and we will fight back against these harmful provisions with everything we’ve got."
