Last week I gave my two dogs a bath and then let them outside with new snow on the ground. That was quadruple zoomies and it was insane.

I got an MMR booster in the '90s and had a pretty bad reaction to it. I think it's because after getting my original MMR shot I actually came down with a (mild) case of mumps when I was 8-years old. To get university credits I had to prove I was vaccinated at 50-years old. Getting Ab titers worked.

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

The "deep state" was always the fact that we used to have a bureaucracy full of educated, experienced people that knew how to get shit done. Trump and company always hated smart, competent people so now they're all gone.

Well, never mind. My wife just got home from work and says lawyers use CSAM all the time now. They don't actually know the purpose of change. They never use "CSAM" in conversations about these crimes.

How is this an either or? "I was raped as a child and was video recorded for the production of child pornography which was shared on the internet". Shortening that to a little anagram - how is that helping?

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Yup. There it is. That reaction. You forgot that the victims of sex exploitation are different from sex workers in the porn industry. The language is supposed to protect the latter, not the former. I can assure you that the victims of child porn don't give a rat's ass about the language used.

"Child pornography" hits normies harder. The "child" part makes it a given that it can't be consensual and is criminal. I think we should keep language policing to a minimum and reserve it for hate terms (racist, homophobic). I've known too many non-political middle-aged people turned off by it.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

"Abuse" covers too many things great and small, eg, verbal abuse. It may just be me, but it doesn't strike me as strong enough term to justify changing anything.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

"sex with a child" gets used a lot. It gets the severity of the charge across and I don't think it stigmatizes "sex" in any way. Including "child" in anything seems to be the point.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

You might want to update the legal profession. No lawyer I know uses "CSAM". Personally, I think "child sexual abuse material" is not very descriptive. My wife is a defense attorney and has to deal with the worst of the worst. "CSAM" is way too polite for what she has to deal with.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Wait. Why don't we use that term anymore?

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Give them some credit. Who could've guessed that more than 50% of Hispanics would vote for the MASS DEPORTATIONS platform? Or white women voting for the party that ended Roe?

I wasn't Nostradamus either. But I had knocked on ~3000 doors in 2016. Between the doors immediately slammed in my face and the insufferable complacency of registered Democrats, I assumed the worst. Even the Dems had all kinds of weird conspiracy theories about her health.

I know! And if you talk to any big Clinton supporter from that time Bernie's support was "half-hearted" and "lackluster". Clinton visibly hated him on stage the whole time and he did it all anyway. They still think *he's* the reason they lost to Trump. It's amazing.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

I worked on Bernie campaigns in 2 states and then for local dems (DCCC) in my very red state in 2016. "Hey guys, on election day we're all going to pull together, right?" Silence every time on both sides. Did *not* enjoy being right on Election Day.

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

My apologies. Read it wrong waking up. Canvased for Bernie 2016 and then dealt with too many DNC types after that that blamed Bernie for the loss that year. Yeah, Bernie put himself out there and normie Dems could never let it go. To *this* day. Still frustrating.

In what world was Bernie a Stein supporter? He literally campaigned for Hillary about a dozen times after losing the primary.

Yeah, maybe if 95%+ got the vaccine for the most recent set of variants. (Thing that will never happen now.) Who was the replier that blamed the vaccines for creating mutants that evaded the vaccines. Yeah, because too few people got vaccinated and the vaccinated were exposed to the virus 20+ times.

I talked to literally thousands of dem voters that year. I didn't run into a single one that even considered that Trump might win, right up to Election Day. If HRC was fucking stupid, well, 99.9% of the voters were also fucking stupid. Even the other canvassers and my supervisor mocked the concept.

100

Busy skiing for now @jdcallahan.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Naw. Only in hindsight. Virtually no one thought he could win. I was an exception, but only because I was canvassing so much that year and a lot of the conversations with voters terrified me. The complacency of dem voters was off the charts. I was routinely mocked for worrying and "wasting my time".
