Interesting photo choice for this story. How do you get a picture of a non-rush?

Everyone yelling at Will Stancil bc he prefers data to anecdotal evidence, so we are back to normal times on here.

It’s happening,, it’s all happening. Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend was approved by the Las Vegas Clark county commissioners today and we throwing a historic free public party and celebration with a parade on the Las Vegas strip. Details coming tomorrow 👀

The famously tight-lipped IRS will leak like a sieve on this one. I mean, we already know the story, but we'll know more of the story.

Just was reminded about what happened to my mom's first husband in WWII that I think is too gruesome to share on here, no need to give strangers nightmares. But I had to tell it to my half brother (happened to his dad) and though he admits he's been told it, he doesn't remember. I had said that

Occasionally I get texts that are for my ex-husband, which annoys me without fail. I never get phone calls for him, except for the one time he was trying to get someone to move a pool table on short notice and by mistake used Yelp signed into with my login. And apologized fully.

My oldest brother, who I have a complicated relationship with, just said that he misses the dog he had when little (in the 1950s) who was named "Sambo." I really really doubt it. He's a half brother, I don't know his dad, but I know our mom and I cannot imagine it at all.

Isn't it pretty rare for the statute of limitations to be a jury question? I see why it makes sense here but also believe most judges would have just decided this way earlier.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone

I would be grateful if people would repost the attached because I wouldn’t want these tickets to go to waste.

It's rainy out and my pup is barking at her own reflection in the window.

My Daily Mix today on Tidal is messed up today, just amusing. It's like a person who suddenly decided they really, really like Dinosaur Jr's Feel the Pain. I play anything on the list, next is Feel the Pain. After Feel the Pain? Feel the Pain! Hey, you gotta get over that man, it kills the party!

I'm buying a "hammer toe corrector" and have found the one I'm looking for, but it's $4 more bc I need it for my left foot, not my right. Is there someone in Germany (where manufacturer is) who believes that people who get this problem randomly on their left foot are immoral?

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Was just texting someone to thank them, wrote "that helps" and autocorrect predicted the next word to be "perpetuate," which seemed just a little too on brand. Was autocorrect making fun of me?

If Oregon were to get into the redistricting act, which I think would be quite hard to do, but hypothetically, it would really fuck up state politics. Republicans are in a shrinking minority, and are paranoid about it. If we were to fuck them over at the federal level,

I'm ahead of the rest of the world by one day this week. Thought it was Wednesday all day yesterday, found out my mistake at midnight. Today just tried to sign into my therapy session on Zoom, which is on Thursday, so no success. Really feels like I've stepped into a minor time slip.

I who have consumed a vast amount of tv, have suddenly been consumed by books. Currently wondering if I should throw over the schedule reset I've been working on so hard to get up before 11. It will only take me a few more hours to finish this book, like 4 hours tops. Going to bed now would be silly

Bookshare (an accessibility site) seems to be down. Sigh.

And now from RFK Jr, who has said all of these, AND NEITHER WILL YOU!

Ok do I have to mute the phrase "men who love enlarging their testicles" today?

A huge problem with books, is that it takes so much less time to find books you want to read than to read them. Sometimes it takes no time to hear of these interesting books, you are minding your own business, and they pop up in front of you. I am reading a lot but can't solve the problem.

I am in love with my dog.

A tip on using Kanopy. Every search function has quirks, on Kanopy it will appear the title you seek isn't there, but occasionally you need to spell the whole title out to the last letter, and suddenly your movie pops up. Not often, but for that film you want most, so worth trying.

Suddenly, because I am reading one single WWII spy novel, Audible is convinced I want to read every single one of them, throwing the whole genre at me but only during that war. Tiresome, because I'm much more interested in cold war spy novels.

One thing I love about my Brother printer I also hate about it. It's quite dumb, not smart at all. It prints only in black and white, and only prints, doesn't scan. Yay! But it's very hard to connect to the internet, and I want to do that. You can't do that online on the computer it's connected to.

It's a very odd feeling to read that the cost of your firing was $20 billion to the US economy. Studies like this are so important. It's hard to put a value on a public service. Trustworthy economic data is vital to so much economic activity in a $29 trillion economy. Worth your time to read.

Gatsby, the character, is really at heart a weird nerd. When he gets Nick to invite her over to his, Nick's, house, he's incredibly fussy about Nick's house, his gardener is sent over to mow the lawn, he fills the house with flowers, and won't stop fussing over the house. This is bc he's in love...

Reading Gatsby. This bit could just be something someone said now, say on here: "As for Tom, the fact that he 'had some woman in New York' was really less surprising than that he had been depressed by a book."

Bedtime

Pup just trotted in happily with her snout in a box of kleenex, so pleased with herself. Almost stopped to take a pic, but that would not get the message across, and I need my tissues.

Bedtime

Went to the park over lunch to take some photos of whatever wildlife happened to be there, and this giant feathered jerk was hogging my favorite spot, hanging out on the only dock.

Let me just say that something that takes place within a single day necessarily takes place within a single week.

This is minor, not a life-long dream, but I would like to start a dog park in Portland where it was under cover in the rain. It would be extremely popular. Have to be free.

Has the abandonment of the humanities college (uni) departments reached beyond the UK and US? (Not counting other fascist or authoritarian states.) If Canada, Australia, or New Zealand are yes, has it reached beyond English-speaking countries?

I've been reading the Quiller Memorandum, and this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Do not describe being given drugs to make you talk from the inside in real time. Except this was the 1960s.

If I, hypothetically, put some freshly and fully cooked chicken in the microwave last night, so I could have more when ready & not be bugged by my dog until then, but I didn't have more and forgot the chicken in the micro, would it still be good? Left there 10pm last night, now it's 3pm the next day

When Pakistan comes back to Iran with each new thing from the US in the peace talks, does it always begin, "Those fuckers . . ."? And does it begin the same way when it's vice versa, to great laughter, but without its heart in it?

There’s hogsheads of sperm ahead.

What I find so bizarre about Vance's attack on the Pope is it wasn't even standard "Stay in your lane!" criticism. It was "I'm going to strut into your lane and declare myself policeman!" Which is so out of the norm that once again it's hard for the media to cover it.

Something I noticed tonight is that in detective fiction and the TV version thereof, there's been a recent trend, if the detective is a woman to make her super annoying and somewhat irresponsible. Enormously annoying. Examples just from PBS: the Puzzle Lady (Murder Most Puzzling in the UK), and

Just realized that yesterday was a film club I had said I was going to, was really looking forward to, and somehow managed to totally blank on. Was trying to get out there, meet some people, feel some community, but my unconscious wasn't having it. It's a small thing but I'm quite upset about it.

A huge part of the problem is that Trump doesn't do negotiations, which are a matter of give and take. He is all take and no give. He doesn’t back down from any position, unless he just walks away from it and doesn’t consider it again. If the status quo is what you want, sometimes that works.

Trying to find out more about an image of a painting we hold at Newhaven Museum. It's of Seaford Bay, between Newhaven and Seaford. These are a few closeups. #SussexCoast Anyone have any clues as to painter or date?

I have a concern about DTF: St. Louis that I will get spoilery as I go on. It's about the increasing focus on David Harbour's body here being fat, extremely focused on in ep 6. Harbour wore a fat suit for this, which I hate. Gets spoilery in a weird way, not about big plot points, in next post.
