An online quiz, showing a pair of Ugg boots asking "You're wearing Uggs. Do you tuck your pants in or leave them outside?"

FALSE! I am not wearing Uggs.

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

I am helping put together a panel of queer speakers for a work event. Do you happen to know a queer speaker from Ireland or India you’d recommend? Born in the US, but able to speak about their experience in the country would be fine, too.

Kassandra Rosado, et al. v. Pamela Bondi, et al., No. 26 C 153.

docs.reclaimthenet.org/rosado-v-bon...

Plaintiffs met requirements for preliminary injunction (injury in fact from defendants' actions which could be judicially redressed) & showed they are “likely traceable to government-coerced enforcement” of FB’s & Apple’s policies rather than Co's “independent judgment,” Alonso wrote

Rosado created FB group "ICE Sightings — Chicagoland”. Kreisau created phone app “Eyes Up.” Both designed to share info & video about ICE location & actions

In October, FB disabled the group & Apple the apps. Bondi and Noem made public statements attributing this to demands DOJ

In a written opinion, U.S. District Judge Jorge L. Alonso of the Northern District of Illinois granted a motion to enjoin the federal government from threatening to prosecute the tech giants to force them to suppress the protected speech of plaintiffs Kassandra Rosado and Kreisau Group.

Two plaintiffs are likely to prevail in a lawsuit alleging the Trump administration violated the First Amendment by coercing Facebook and Apple to censor reports of activity in the Chicago area by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, a federal judge held.

Can't work late. I've got stuff to do at home.

Thing I just read: How to Prepare Your Palate for Whiskey
First, I strongly recommend warming up your palate. This means starting off with either a light cocktail to awaken your senses or a non-cask-strength whiskey.

Dear god

Love this so much. Thanks for sharing?

So when Lyft & Uber started, I began using Curb because cab drivers STILL PAID ATTENTION to odd numbers south/West side of the block (even N/E) but enshitification is real and now none fucking picks up or drops off on the correct side of the street

Not sure these are going to make it through today, which would make doonails and their annoying stickers the clear winner.

I have video. It's delightful.
The choreography was bouncing him for "the drunks on the bus go" and then dipping him for "wooooooooooooooah"

When the youth was a baby, his favorite verse was
The drunks on the bus go wooooooooooah
The drunks on the bus go wooooooooooah
The drunks on the bus go wooooooooooah
ALL through Lakeview,

we can probably alternate, but I don't think you can wear my boots.

Well, folks, we've got our couple's costume for this year.
