States like Florida with inhumane, racist policies and laws targeting undocumented immigrants have already seen shortages of farm workers. In NC I shared lamb meat with Latino friends and neighbors and in return heard community news including what they got from migrant workers passing through.

Whether you agree as to whether this is the most dangerous Court since Taney's (the case @kevinmkruse.bsky.social makes here) there's another key point about the comparison:
Taney's Court had only a fraction of the power and authority over American politics & society that Roberts' Court does 1/

Watching 'Dazed and Confused' for the first time in a very long time.
I don't know if it's aged any worse than other period pieces of the time, but it definitely hits differently now.

When you're the only bidder for an item on #eBay, and rather than getting straight-up sniped at the end, there's a bid, an immediate cancellation, and another bid right below your max bid.
Like, dude, you ain't slick. I'd rather not get the item than pay more because you're fuckin' playing games.

#WritingPrompt of the day:
A person who can read minds, except they…
1. Cannot control when this happens.
2. Perceives this as audible voices in the correct voice for the thought/situation.
3. Has visual hallucinations that make it appear that the source of such voices is actually speaking them.

At this point I stop her and ask if she's got the right guy. Because the location and a couple other things she'd mentioned don't match with what I do. Turns out she had the wrong Peter. She's in the office in Tel-Aviv. She meant to send this invite to a guy in that office with my first name.

First thing she says when she joins the call is "I understand you'll be leaving us…" Immediately feeling even worse. Then she says something like, "Because we're in Israel, we'll need to do some other things before you go…" Wait… what? I'm not in Israel.

Got a surprise meeting on my calendar from HR this morning. There've been several rounds of #layoffs over the last year, so it obviously made me VERY nervous.
So I join the call, and she's a few minutes late. I'm fuckin' sweating bullets the whole time because I'm sure I'm about to be laid off.

NYT (likely) version of this story: Why Trump getting basic facts about himself wrong, including the name of his own doctor, shows Biden’s age is going to become a massive weakness in the polls for democrats. Or some other BS that hand waves away Trump’s significant issues.

I don't know if you've read early Marvel, Faine, but they treated transistors like 'a genie' or 'a wizard', And that's how 'AI' is being treated now. Stan Lee didn't know better or care. Neither did the kids reading 'em. When it's the Adults In The Room, it's less excusable.

Biden has to say he won't pardon his son because he knows the media would absolutely savage him if he tried. Yet the same media completely takes it for granted that Trump will pardon himself if he's re-elected, it's just baked into assumptions about his future cases and they don't even bother to ask
