I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I doubt that siccing black ops teams on Putin and Musk for assassination is in the cards, but I like the idea of both of them sleeping less soundly. (If Musk sleeps.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Of course all the news is "He said he wouldn't!" Pfffftttt. With the nomination of Kash Patel, Joe had no choice. So fuck them.

Oliver is back at school and Robin heads back tomorrow. I should be returning to work next week (if my physical therapist agrees).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I hope Biden hands out preemptive pardons like snack-size candy on Halloween, frankly. Winter is coming.

Always Anti-fascist!

Definitely... Would like to see bold action on a lot of fronts, really.(But if Biden really was that guy, I wouldn't have felt like we're generally on different sides.)

Why are people still treating dems like they should stick to “norms,” when all bets are off with creeping fascism?

He could commute federal death sentences, free people in prison for cannabis and I would be happy.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I agree. The Supreme Court has explicitly said that norms don’t mean squat for the president, so go to town, Joe.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Dreams for the next month

- mass commutations from prison for cannibas arrests, elderly prisoners, sick prisoners, a significant # working with the innocence project and similar, prisoners arrested when teens who have been model prisoners.
- anything that can be done at the federal level to hurt for profit prisons, and for profit communication systems in prisons.
- anything that can be done to get infrastructure funds distributed where they cannot be revoked or cut.

What else can be done by executive order?

Anything with DACA? Anything with extending protected status to certain refugees? Anything with expanding Medicare and Medicaid?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yes! I've gone down one size on top -- shirts that haven't fit me in a few years fit fine now! (I just wish my hips would catch up now.)

Nice, Steph!

Way to go, Steph!

I’m following the events in South Korea on Bluesky, and it’s working! It might even be better at following breaking news than Twitter was when it was good.
