Reading “Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety” and it’s like every time they go: here is something people with anticipatory anxiety do without realizing it… and yep, that’s a me!

Making some plans for a River’s Edge trip sometimes end of summer (maybe labor day weekend, but still open). Looking to see anyone else either planning trips there already, or who might want to go in a group. Anyone here fall into those groups?

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

US DOGE Service Agreement With Department of Labor Shows $1.3 Million Fee—and Details Its Mission The unsigned agreement between the US DOGE Service and the Department of Labor provides significant insight into DOGE's work with federal agencies.

Musk has previously stated that DOGE staffers would cost taxpayers nothing. This $1.3 million figure, coupled with previous WIRED reporting about DOGE salaries, tells a different story. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

West Ada teacher stands firm after she’s told to remove ‘Everyone is welcome here’ signs Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

picture of a street sign ziptied to a pole that reads "Be a responsible citizen. Properly dispose of your dog's waste." There is a picture of a pile of poop and an arrow pointing to a Cybertruck. The sign goes on "Place it into the nearest Cybertruck. If you see Elon Musk, you may also deposit it directly into his mouth. CITY CODE ELNZ-A-DKHD. DEPT of @FOLAFIA, CITY OF NEW YORK"

At some point we’re going to run out of planes in the sky.

Time so messed up the fucking sky is falling!

I’d say we are in a constitutional crisis, but it feels like the crisis came and went and took the constitution with it…

I get why Google did this (and, given their existing policies that rely on official government sources, it was probably the right call) but it just looks so very, very stupid.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.
