That Daredevil series start was incredible, IDC what people say about the CGI.

New Daredevil ahhhhhhhh

I won’t act like it can’t be a bad thing, or cause pain and suffering. I just wish I knew how to overpower it better, more consistently and reliably. How can I make it so when I look at the sun, my body doesn’t force me to turn away and close my eyelids and constrict my pupils?

Rambling about Autism #1: Sometimes I wonder if my Autism is the reason for my tendency towards inaction. The analysis paralysis that people condemn, call cowardly, write tv shows and superheroes against. A subconscious reaction to mental and sensory overload that gets mistaken for character flaw.

Feeling (and looking) sufficiently dead inside for date night. 30s, am I right?

Biden signs bipartisan FAA bill into law | CNN Politics President Joe Biden on Thursday signed a bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, enacting a law that aims to improve aviation safety and strengthen protections for passengers ...

In May of 2024 Joe Biden signed a bill that provided funds to hire more air traffic controllers to remedy the shortage of such workers. In January of 2025 Trump fired the head of the FAA (because Musk had beef with him) and encouraged federal workers to resign. www.cnn.com/2024/05/16/p...

If you support Donald Trump, you support racism and sexism. Simple as that.

HIRONO: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election, yes or no?

PATEL: President Biden's election was certified

HIRONO: The people who are 100 percent loyal to Trump can't answer that question. It's alarming that you want to be an FBI director but can't answer.

2/ Also, do yourself a favor & read up on the Tuskegee Airmen. Don't let Trump take their story away from us. www.nps.gov/tuai/index.htm
There's even a national historic site dedicated to them. Will Trump close it?

On his orders, his henchmen murdered my former colleague and chopped up his body with a bone saw.

*whispers into the void* "your art will be declared degenerate, so you might as well lean into it."

And there it is. One of Trump’s billionaire allies Jamie Dimon just admitted that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise prices and Americans should just “get over it.”

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Cardio reading of the Day: The Awakening by Kate Chopin

According to the CBP briefing documents, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to more than double its detention capacity by opening four new 10,000-bed facilities and 14 smaller sites with space for 700 to 1,000 people. The Department of Defense may also utilize military bases as holding facilities, the document says. Trump officials have told lawmakers they will need billions of dollars in additional funding to meet the president’s deportation goals by ramping up ICE detention capacity.

! The Trump administration wants ICE to build four detention centers each with 10,000 bed capacity. Only the LA County Jail and Rikers are larger, and that's about the size of the Cook County and Harris County jails.

That would cost tens of billions and require thousands of new personnel.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has ordered a communications blackout at America's federal health agencies, per WaPo.

The CDC, FDA, HHS and NIH have all been told to pause external communications, including publishing scientific reports, updating websites or issuing health advisories.

Times like these makes me grateful to have memory trunk to remind me how far I've come. Remember the triumphs of the past to get through the trials of today.
