Here is a collection of methods to get around that. gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2...

Remember: the testimony of any not in ICE/CBP is always more believable than anything ICE/CBP says, in large part because ICE should not be viewed as a credible source by anyone.

Not all criticism of AIPAC is antisemitic: there are plenty of criticisms that aren't. But the number of accusations this week that opposition to the Senate candidacy of a rapist with a Nazi tattoo could only happen because of a (((conspiracy))) is not one of them.

I've had a LOT of replies to my Platner posts over the last few days, and it looks like we're not quite done with him, so I'm just gonna say this for the record: Guys—and by guys I mean dudes specifically—nobody needs your dark sardonic rape jokes about Graham Platner. Just leave it be.

ah heck.... if you're having a bad day, you have to read this thread by @tkingfisher.com It may be a story - as in, slightly embellished with only a passing acquaintance with reality - but I love it. And it may also be true. Which is even better.

People getting worked up about nostalgiaposts like this don't seem to realize people aren't lamenting companies, they're remembering evaporated forms of community. Yes, get DVDs from your library! But are you going to ride your bike with your 5 best friends there then curl up together to watch it?

Doonesbury explained the seventies for me, the Bloom County came in to help out with the next decade. Calvin and Hobbes made me think about how you perceive the world. Those three strips -with some Charlie Brown thrown in really profoundly shaped my world view

For all its faults I’d still rather be a part of the political movement that says rape is bad over one that says rape is fine so long as we get to be evil to brown people

Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.

Editorial cartoon: Monty Python is the best.

Saw that Chaosium and Evil Hat have recently fallen afoul of accidentally publishing generative alt text – my sympathies to them. Here's how to turn it off if you happen to be an InDesign user:

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

meanwhile there is a track record of voters turning out for candidates, from barack obama to zohran mamdani, for candidates expressing a progressive view. whether they carry through in office or not, it is a driver of votes. its also the right thing. so why would one support *more* mush that loses?

Something that I appreciate about being a marginalized person in this country is that it makes me unsentimental about it. This means that there's always an opportunity to redo things. This day sucked, well there's tomorrow or next month or next year to do something else. Things should change.

That’s apt! It’s a message to young overachievers that life is long: “You don’t have to squeeze your whole life into your 20s and 30s trying to make it, trying to achieve that American dream, getting in the rat race and killing yourself. You have a whole life to live.” www.wral.com/archive/2152...

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

the left never made a peep when dems pushed people like jon tester in montana, but demanding slightly more progressive representation is "destroying the party"

So, if your immediate response to someone complaining about the material conditions of their lives is to tell them to eliminate a luxury or a small pleasure, you might consider shutting the fuck up and taking a hard look at your values. Alternatively, you could fuck off into the sun. Either works.

democrats have a choice. they can join james carville and bill maher and tell transgender americans they are less than. or they can be patriotic americans and reaffirm that we are all created equal. there is no middle ground.

Nerdy wrestling discourse is like, imagine if Deadpool made their debut and pundits were like "Why doesn't he fight like Batman? That would make more sense. Batman clearly fights the best."

“Change has to be gradual and incremental” America: Nah.

All Starfleet vessels can play serviceable hiphop at any time it's needed. If they don't have any handy they can just use the ship's Raplicator.

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.

What "obstruction," Aaron?

"all out obstruction" in what respects, charlie?

And one more goody, just because.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

these are the words of an expert

“NOT HE BERRY OR SHE BERRY BUT NO BERRY” protect this woman with your life that’s so precious.

Cackling at this entire thread

please anyone in/near Stratford look out for Emily, she's tiny and a fucking idiot goblin and I'm desperate to find her please please please bring her home safe 😩

I missed that boring Amy Klobuchar had some things to say about Dem leadership. www.yahoo.com/news/politic... - Do people not know that she is critiquing from THE RIGHT???? Her critique is that Progressives in her party need to be tamed, lol... She's mad they haven't been fully muzzled by them.

If you don’t like comic book/superhero movies, fine, they’re not to your taste, no worries. But if you proudly present your disdain as a sign of virtue, an indication of what refined cinematic taste you have, well, then you annoy the fuck out of me.

Supergirl was True Grit, with Supergirl playing the Rooster Cogburn role, and I loved it.

We all have that one follower whose Like feels like this:

you know sometimes i don't like having an active imagination

Finally catching up on Critical Role's episode from last week, and Travis tore my heart out of my chest. Goddamn.

...I've held my nose and voted for centrist Dems more times than I can count because I didn't want the opposing Republican to win. centrist Dems who won't do the same when a progressive is on the ballot are giving away what side they are really on

That when Buzz Aldrin (a Presbyterian) took communion on the moon (look it up!), he summoned Jesus (Presbytrian doctrine is that J.C. is present during communion). Jesus died in ninety seconds because of asphyxiation from being in a vacuum. That's why it's all been downhill since 1969.

“Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” - First Amendment US Constitution

Establishment Democrats scowling at their noses in the mirror and reaching for a big knife

Come on, just one explosion. It's wafer thin.

HE HATH COME AGAIN

yo! quick question mark, why are you on the "potential future stories" list in my research obsidian, filed under "look into this guy" also can you just quickly read this old tweet of yours out loud?
