It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice.

What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

People complained that Chengdu zoo was letting their clouded leopard get fat, their expert explained "This cat is like thirty years old, that's twice as old clouded leopards GET, and he's just had major surgery. Making him lose weight would do WAY more harm, just let him have this."

I once tweeted at the museum to ask them to help me identify two photos of modules I had taken at the museum. I knew what one was but couldn’t ID the other. They replied back that the second photo was the rear view of the same module. 😐🤦😆

Are your books something Krissy would naturally read on her own or no? What kind of stuff does she normally read? I am curious from a feedback perspective whether her being into that genre or NOT being into that genre would be more helpful to you. Or does it matter?(I phrased that awkwardly.)

Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

Cartoon: Klingon Minions: Worf and Gowron. Apologies as to the inspiration. I'm sure I saw someone on social media make a passing comment on what a Klingon Minion might look like but I didn't write it down and it re-emerged this evening in my brain. Or maybe I dreamt it. Regardless - Enjoy.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

Living under authoritarian regimes is both relatively boring and normal AND incredibly corrosive to the human soul. These things can absolutely co-exist. This is why everyone needs to resist authoritarians, even people who privately assume they’ll be just fine.

This means romance authors. This means poets. This means screenwriters and playwrights and actors of anything remotely risqué. And eventually, anything secular. They have no point of satisfaction until they’ve erased all of non-Christian expression.
