There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life.
Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.
They don't have top level talent to choose from. White supremacy breeds mediocrity.
I was foreperson of a jury that experienced the exact same thing. We were unanimous in the deliberation room, but one of my fellow jurors refused to agree when we were each polled.
When we re-deliberated and again sent back a guilty verdict, I still wasn’t 100% sure she wouldn’t confirm this time
Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.
Fwiw, on the only trip I’ve ever needed an ice axe for, @sjsbunchberry.bsky.social found a large sheet of ice on a hillside, and we practiced self-arresting on that before going anyplace scarier. But we were testing our own skills, not our ice axes!!!
Don't ask how you would open the Strait of Hormuz. Ask yourself how open to the Strait of Hormuz are you?
I wish I’d been there to see it too!
It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.
Rereading books 1 & 2 in preparation for book 3 TOMORROW!!!
Article on Def Sec Hegseth objecting to unflattering photos, accompanied by photo of Hegseth giving a confused sneer.
The WaPo still occasionally gets it right.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
This one is a secret code for detecting Anglicans/Episcopalians of a particular generation.
That’s … kind of awesome? I’ve been wanting a fitness tracker that I can wear in a SCIF ever since my office was converted into one.
… CFIUS will stop the sale of your U.S. business. And TFI is the home of Treasury’s very own intel shop.
Writ large, the Terrorism and Financial Intelligence office at Treasury has so much power. FinCEN already receives so much information and can snap its fingers and get more. OFAC can freeze your accounts and cut you off entirely from the U.S. financial system. CFIUS …
I’m particularly alarmed at the idea that Hurley was “on thin ice with the White House for not getting the career officials more in line with the administration’s views on using … FinCEN … more aggressively.”
I have dear friends at FinCEN. The thought of their efforts to protect the U.S. financial system being weaponized like this makes me sick—as does the thought of someone less ethical than Hurley being put in charge. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
all of the post-heated rivalry press about why women like yaoi is driving me crazy. imagine if there were a blitz of articles in the year 2026 like "why do men like lesbian porn?" who can say. world's biggest mystery
epstein and the epstein class were so fucking desperate for validation they funded a cranberry bog of academics to explain why they were the master race, but yeah sure. it's women who only care about being admired
Ramadan mubarak!!

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day
Oh—I’ll go find and block them for myself, then!
The delightful thing about this interaction is that when I went to block this person, I discovered that I’d already done so! It’s a good feeling to know that my blocking instincts are spot-on.
If I can survive your Phillies fandom, I think you can handle a bit of Patriots.
Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism
I grew up in New England rooting for the Patriots (I still feel the pain of Super Bowl XX). Moving away didn’t stop my fandom; that happened when they started winning all the damn time and got smug and boring. Tonight’s loss may have been cleansing enough for me to become a fan again.
im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me
If the Republican US attorney for the District of Columbia doesn't recognize the Heller decision then no state is under any obligation to do so either
