Something completely and totally unrelated, but I thought of your laptop and sticking one of these puppies on it. New Georgia "I voted" sticker. Must say, I'm not fond.

In case folks are wondering how other authors (who also happen to be lawyers) are taking the continued silence from the Anthropic class action lawyers and the JND claims handler...
Bluesky post from Courtney Milan reads

I *will* call Mommy (the judge) if they try to fuck around with the dates on us. 

I will. I will make the judge yell at them if they try to pull any shit.

For once, Trump is right. Except for the possessive apostrophe. That's cringe.

We really should start incorporating bananas into our campaign literature going forward.
Congressional hearing 

Dean: "What's the tariff on bananas?"

Lutnick: "10%"

Dean: "Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%"

All Trump is posting about is what's happening to monuments and this bullshit about Canada. In the meantime, war with Iran, inflation, environmental and ESA laws ripped to shreds, monuments sold off, and Trump is going to threaten Georgia's democracy Thursday night
Trump is White House meeting with various individuals, as he's talking. Behind him, on a billboard, is an image showing Canada and the US both covered in the US stars and stripes

The Washington Post Style section asks the question:

"Did Trump pick the right blue for the Reflecting Pool? We asked a pool guy."

Why doesn't he just switch to the Republican party and be done with it? Next time, folks: look at that outsider you think would do a better job and realize that maybe he's an outsider because he's crappy at what he does. Maine, I'm looking at you.
On X Fetterman reposts a Musk tweet that reads "I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country"

Fetterman writes: This is incredibly generous. TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by. I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid. It should never come to this point.

Absolute fail on the part of moderation.bsky.app.
ElieNYC posts to Aaron Rupar

Honestly don't understand how @atrupar.com does this shit every day. The level of stupid is off the fucking chain. 

Moderation labeled it "Rude" but it's actually a compliment to Aaron Rupar, who took it so.

How nice of Trump's HUD putting out useful and helpful info for people during the shutdown

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the people.
