Also - Dear furry tech people: Heritage is run by people who are connected and well-resourced, although not necessarily all that sharp. So please remember that even if nothing else you did or know about is remotely illegal, it's a felony to lie to the feds and every day is STFU Friday, m'kay?

I am stressed out and anxious and wanting to hide under my desk until probably next January. And then I put on one of the Katmai bear cams. And there's a bear, sitting on a rock in the river, being a bear, and suddenly it's all good. (No sign of Otis yet this summer though.)

I really wish more people understood the concept of institutional memory. Like, to even acknowledge it exists. The number of problems that get solved by Gladys, who's been here forever, just because she was here the last time something like this happened, is usually staggering.

I don’t think “but can they do that?” is the most informed question to guide Project 2025 analysis, not without “what do they mean by that?” and “are they already working on that?” and “who are their allies on that?”

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

and then the electoral college adds another complication because you're not voting for a candidate, you're voting for a slate of electors who have pledged to vote for that candidate. it's *possible* that the procedure is 'election goes on as normal, someone has to wrangle the dead guy's electors?'

even when both candidates aren't geriatric, stuff could happen. In 2020 they were at risk of COVID, and there's plenty of other ways a woman in her 50s could appear perfectly healthy in mid-July and be dead before early November.

If it were, like, today? I think the RNC becomes must-see TV and I'd buy stock in Orville Redenbacher. After the convention I think it becomes not just politically but legally complicated because of state ballot deadlines and people have noted that this is a gaping hole in election law.

and I had the opposite experience with Star Trek: Discovery - there was a character who died, and I could tell they were going to die because the first act of the episode was all about 'why you should care about this member of the bridge crew', which they hadn't previously established.

The nightmare for the business-class Trump boosters isn't a slow economy - a slow economy is full of desperate people they can exploit! - but a booming one where workers they steal from or sexually harrass can tell them "fuck you" and walk across the street for better pay.

You'd defeat "the atomization of the individual" by funding parks, by putting money into community centers and libraries to hold social events, by making sure everyone can afford to have and enjoy leisure time.

hrm. my thought that 'church is in the morning, football is in the afternoon' probably relies on being on Eastern time. church is at 9 or 10 and you're home for a 12:30 kickoff unless Pastor gets rambly. but I guess that's a 9:30 kickoff out on the west coast...

This is also a nice reminder that when conservatives say, "Judeo-Christian" they mean "Christian," because you know nobody at Project 2025, including the person who wrote "Judeo-Christian" below, means anything but Sunday when they talk about deciding what people can & should do on the Sabbath.

I think the "Judeo" and "Christian" halves of that tradition are going to have some disagreements about that one. Also good Christians currently depend on the heathens to keep restaurants open on Sunday so they can go out to lunch after church...

In "Testament: The Story of Moses" on Netflix, there's a scene of Pharoah's son being draped in a golden stole of what appears to be #Byssus.
I gasped. The value of that one garment would have been greater than nearly any other in the Kingdom, or the world.
