Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Dude was calling Trump “Daddy”, saying he’d give us all “a much needed spanking.” That was 18 months ago.

The Onion!Infowars Store having both a "turn your piss into gold" and a "turn your gold into piss" product currently "sold out" is an extremely good bit.

I too was checking my watch a lot during Project Hail Mary. This is a breezy read with some good points but I'd be interested in digging more into how some movies totally earn their long runtimes. Like, what's the x factor there.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement.

placing the pilots at the front of the plane reinforces a dangerous hierarchy that damages the working relationship between passengers and crew. instead, they should be ensconced in a big bubble in the middle of the cabin so everyone can watch them work, and perhaps dispense kibble for good flying

This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!

Related phenomenon is that this kind of rhetoric rarely survives actually meeting him. The conclusion I draw is that some of these people are lying but a lot of them are just spending all their time in group chats with other insane rich people.
