Nothing quite like a "Horror" zine that would have rejected both Frankenstein and Dracula because they use letters, journals, and numbered chapters.

Not at all intended to be an insult to Nathan, who is very enthusiastically listing open history professorships, but whoa boy, talk about a couple of jobs I would absolutely not want to do.

"Back up your claims with sourced information or be immediately blocked," but also be immediately blocked if you provide the sourced information and it disagrees with my priors. "Really, I just want everyone to agree with me or be blocked."

If you’re going to find a claimant meets 12.05B it might be a little silly to not find their intellectual disability is a severe impairment. (It might also be silly to recommend them for a continuing disability review in 24 months)

Bluesky still not beating the can't take a joke rap.

This last item is likely to be the most problematic if the shutdown lingers. Submitting a waiver request puts a hold on overpayment collection efforts while the waiver is processed. If the field office can't process waivers it will mean people's overpayments will continue to reduce/stop benefits

O.W. Holmes pfp. You can't make this stuff up.

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Question for any Immsky who happen to follow me. Has anyone gotten a C18 I-765 approved that was filed in April or After?

Ah, good. I have now reached the age where the Ethics CLE presenter has less experience than I do.

Eliot Ness for president, 2028. Man wouldn’t even splurge on double consonants for his given name.

Well this beats the largest overpayment I've ever seen by about $50,000. Gotta love how SSA phrases these. "Just cut us a check in 30 days, please and thank you." The rationale on this one is particularly outrageous though. An ALJ already ruled on this issue a decade ago. No grounds for reopening.

Absolutely everyone is coming for this man but he's right. It's not electronic. There's no manipulation of electrons in an overheard projector, either by analog or digital means. It's an electrical device, not electronic. All it's doing is using the electricity to create light and heat from a bulb.

Folks, I'm excited to learn that I don't know how government regulations work...

@kenwhite.bsky.social, I really hope it takes a lot longer to resolve the Lisa Cook case and you all can continue to talk about it, because Josh’s frustration with the specialness of the Fed will not grow old any time soon.

Sunset last night set up a particularly spectacular sky. The photos really don't give the richness of that cyan-turquoise color on the horizon justice.

Unhappy about texts which suppress some people or portions of people. Uses O.W. Holmes as his profile pic...

With any luck they’ll put them up in the old SSA office building and ICE can get a dose of black mold while they’re here.

Of course this is being reposted like crazy because it’s what people want to hear. Problem is, if the attorney had the chance to review the “defamatory” facts upon which the website owners based their opinions, it means it’s not defamatory. This is straight from his own state’s jury instructions.

I see Will is continuing the now multi-day long strawman of the opposing position. "Don't RSVP for individual protests because it markedly reduces the barriers to law enforcement investigation of your participation if something goes wrong at the protest" is not saying don't organize.

Let me be clear: there's nothing wrong with being on an email list for an activist organization. That's a great idea! Separately, there is no reason to affirmatively state "yes, I will be engaged in specific action in X place at Y time" unless you're willing to face state action as a result of it.

Black women and trans people this week: yes, protest! But safely and smartly White men who have led us into this mess: no that's stupid, you're stupid- you fucking coward.

Really tired of this ass-kissing bullshit from these quisling motherfuckers

@mmasnick.bsky.social I just finished your "Debate Me Bro" piece and it's very good, but the one thing I think it's missing is the connection to creationists. I'd say that's the real, if you will, genesis of this style of bad-faith interaction. @questauthority.bsky.social might be able to say more

Potstickers or pierogi, the dumpling dinner dilemma

"see flannel and think of a lumberjack slam" Sure, Boozy...

Like, I've seen people implying or outright saying that @kathryntewson.bsky.social is engaged in this discussion because she's just too afraid to protest against the Trump regime and, folks, I just am not going to find that claim credible.

Adding two points to Will's: 1) There seem to be a lot of people on one side of this reading the "don't sign up to the protest" as "don't protest." This is just not a fair interpretation. 2) People should be allowed to have different levels of risk tolerance without it spawning multi-day debates!

I'm seeing a lot of my mutuals get into it with each other over this issue, which is a little surprising, because a lot of things can be true. DOJ may not currently have the legal capacity to bring mass prosecution against individuals, but they also can make protestors lives more difficult.

The ridiculous content aside, this writing style is just awful.

"BDS is not pro-Palestine" has got to be one of the most disingenuous attempts to score rhetorical points I've ever seen.

Truly, it takes a grand intellect to muster this in response.

I see that my (sort of) namesake has passed.

Section 230 for the win!

This also reminds me of a discussion my mother and I were having when we were out to dinner recently. When did it become OK to wear your hats indoors like this? I'm not that old and I certainly always learned to take my hat off if I was going to eat in a restaurant.

Who ever could have suspected that Choitner would ask contentious, leading questions?

Stop it, people. Adam’s claim that manufacturing marks on shell casings “started” the rumor is just as much rumor and speculation. There’s no evidence to support this claim. Turan doesn’t even make .30-06 for one thing. This is the entirety of the rifle range:

Basically everyone in the quotes and replies is cheering this on, but the first half is an entirely unexamined assertion. Protecting hate speech has created the conditions to protect other kinds of speech. That's why the US doesn't have stories like this:

Office puppy update. He has conquered the reception desk.

I too demand fairness and justice from the awards issued by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We need to establish due process for the nominees. Multiple layers of review must be created. Appellate bodies should be able to reverse the determinations of the voting "juries."

@kenwhite.bsky.social, I laughed at the Pirro proof joke even if Josh let it fly by.

Minion convinced me to wait an extra day and I got executed day two. Only took 20 minutes though. Yay re-rack

Ok. I did not need to draw that Imp token *again*. Let’s see if I can survive day one and star pass.

Who could possibly have predicted this...
