Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

One thing people aren't taking into account about the wave of AI assisted decompiling of games to mod them is that these same techniques can be used on all commercial software to use its source code to create open source alternatives. There's already projects to do so with the Adobe creative suite.

With CNN and CBS in the hands of the Ellisons and Fox in the hands of the Murdochs, pressure mounts on NBC to sell itself to either Marc Andreesen, Peter Thiel, or Elon Musk.

Same! It was my practice slice for a bigger bunch tonight. (Got too enthusiastic checking that it wasn’t stuck to the peel and accidentally slid half onto the counter, then tried to shove it all back together so it’s not round. But it tasted good!)

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

I remember that fish! It’s from one of my all-time favorite movies, the absolutely delightful 1962 Czech movie Baron Prazil (English title “The Fabulous Baron Munchausen”) which is infinitely superior to the Terry Gilliam film it inspired.

Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

the other thing is that this is a totally incoherent and arbitrary standard for deciding who has rights and who doesn't. you could say the same, for instance, of alito's vision of inviolate "religious liberty" or expansive gun rights.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
