"Lady, please! I said badge! BADGE!"

Weed swag is sometimes weird. 1. It’s an ashtray, like a brand new ashtray. This in itself is wild. 2. Did… anyone who wasn’t high stop and ask “does putting the brand name in the middle of their slogan potentially deliver a message they wouldn’t want?”

Realizing that with last nights aurora, I’ve now seen the northern lights in three corners of our country (relatively speaking). WA (May of last year), NY (October of last year), and AZ (last night). Guess I’ll need to see it from the SE at some point.

We might not get another night of the aurora down here in AZ (or maybe we will, fingers crossed!), but our sunsets are pretty sweet.

Guess brandishing a gun in Santa Ana isn’t a problem since the cops are good with it. If it were a blatant violation of the law the cops would have done something, right? /s

haven't done anything in color in procreate in a while because I've been focusing on learning to draw (which is a special kind of self taught hell with aphantasia) so anyway to break it up and have some fun I did a neat little tutorial from Art with Flo on YouTube and it turned out okay :)

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying. The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

Does running for office not count as seeking employment @katmabu.bsky.social?

So it’s a FAINT pink to the naked eye. But it is visible. The camera however? #aurora Location just outside of Oracle, AZ

A thread: It was 8 years ago this week that I flew to Montreal and then drove down to Vermont to visit a dying friend in hospice that I had never met in person before. GuardDuck / Jeff-Bob was an amazing online friend. One of the best ‘imaginary internet friends’ you could ever have. 1/x

New shirt from Raygun is *perfect* for Thanksgiving family dinners.

my thought is that if a chaotic thanksgiving travel weekend feels like a more substantial political threat than unpaid federal workers, stolen SNAP benefits, and stealing a district's federal representation... etc. then yeah your feelings are wrong.

LMAO. My gods. They found a way to make Chuck look like *even less* of a leader. There truly is no bottom.

Honestly the whole of charging misconduct law is messed up because the Court built it up to deal with indirect, more subtle types of discrimination and vindictiveness, not the head of the executive branch accidentally tweeting the entire country with direct evidence.

Even though I reminded myself of this. I still fell victim and forgot the time difference to the east coast is now only two hours.

“The role of the Judiciary is to resolve concrete cases and controversies, not to act as general overseer of the Executive.” ‘mkay. Sure.

How can there be an event called Space Echo that does not feature SPC ECO?!?! (This actually sounds really cool and the lineup is amazing, but… my excitement peaked for a second and then faded slightly).

The distance between these two records on my shelf is quite small. The distance between them in my heart is significantly larger. Voted Pretty Hate Machine. Only one of these albums gets spun *regularly* in my house.

I feel like this summarizes the prior 36 hours on bsky quite succinctly. (That wasn’t the meaning. Or the context, but it’s still the truth).

No joke. I had a dream in which this was similar theme. I woke up pissed AF because of it.

I don’t even think they hate us. They. Just. Don’t. Care. They are in it for the money and proximity to power. Not for the people, not for the greater good, not for the country. They are there for themselves. Full stop.

motivations and politics aside, moderate democrats must suck at strategic board games

The one place the regime is continuously losing is in the district courts. Where the actual frontline federal judges have been trying to uphold this reality that laws, precedent, and norms hold our collective reality together. So of course they would declare war on them. They can’t win fairly.

The Zima was found in the back of a closet. It’s probably from the original run.

Went to a meeting, came back to the news of Schumer et al doing their fuckin thing, could only think of this:

Maybe Sinema wasn’t the problem. Perhaps the problem is just that every fucking dem who occupies the seat loses the ability to actually represent anyones ass except their own. I’ll wait for @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov to prove me wrong.

No shade to Kate or Justice Wolf, but Reuveni understood the assignment. He didn't resign; he stood on business, made them fire him, and blew the whistle. It's time for civil disobedience; don't give up your seat at the lunch counter. Force the dilemma.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

If have an EBT card and received SNAP benefits recently, go to a grocery store now. The Trump administration is trying to get states to claw back the money on your card. It likely won’t happen, but make sure you have a small stockpile of groceries just in case

The nation is in dire need of people like this and others in adjacent situations who left or were forced out instead of complying with the illegal and unethical demands of this administration. Add Mark L. Wolf’s name to the list alongside Erez Reuveni, Nate Brought, and countless others.

I like sunsets.

Verstappen out of qualifying after Q1? Did the magic slide recovery in the sprint turn the car into an actual tractor?

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

Rest in peace my friends

AI or one of the most embarrassing cultural mistakes of all time? I honestly don’t know.

I can’t wait to see a Lionel Hutz style marked up constitution that justifies all of this.
