Yankee Sphinx by @markfrost.bsky.social tells the story of WWII via his great-uncle, Will Hassett, a journalist who became one of FDR’s speechwriters and closest advisors. It’s stirring, funny, moving, and gives a rare glimpse into the lives behind one of America’s defining moments. #TwinPeaks #Fala

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

Game this out, and then figure out how to protect you and your family this summer: Trump just misused a federal provision not used in 60 years—and then only used to *protect demonstrators*—that requires imminent risk of Rebellion. If he'd do this for some minor, peaceful LA protests, what's coming?

This is replacement theory. It is a debunked white nationalist conspiracy theory that was normalized by Tucker Carlson. It’s a blatant lie meant to turn Americans against immigrants.

Rhode Island folks: please light up the lines to tell Whitehouse this is not what you voted for, and that Kennedy would be a terrible choice.

In other news, I came across this giant toadstool at least 10 inches across this morning. Seems to have survived the hurricane or maybe thrived the hurricane.

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Dog update (1 yr later).
Small black and tan Shih Poo in a red turtleneck sweater. He is looking at you while standing on a golden fall leaf-covered path in the park.

It’s that time of year again! Here’s my Xmas music Spotify playlist. I’ve added new songs this year, so it’s clocking in at almost 32 hours long! Always play on shuffle (“smart” shuffle NOT recommended )! Link in the comments. #christmasmusic #xmasmusic

I can't tell if Reddit is the problem here or if it's Ai generated art, but someone should go to jail for this existing.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...
NYT screenshot: 
One day earlier, in a neighboring state, another couple making a politically motivated move had a different flag on display — a Pride flag on a T-shirt.

Jennie and Jeff Noble were packing their possessions into a 26-foot U-Haul truck in suburban Iowa. Ms. Noble, 37, who was wearing the Pride T-shirt, and her husband were leaving Iowa for Minnesota.

Their only child, Julien, came out as transgender at age 11. Now 16, Julien uses prescription testosterone. After Iowa banned gender-affirming medical care for minors, criminalizing their son’s treatments, the Nobles — lifelong Iowans — concluded they had to get out.The Huckins family and the Noble family have not met, yet their journeys — from blue Oregon to red Missouri, and from red Iowa to blue Minnesota — mirror each other, unfolding only five weeks apart this spring. One family relocated because of a single issue — restrictions on transgender rights — while the other believed a broad swath of progressive policies had degraded their quality of life. But both families used strikingly similar language to describe their main concern: the need for personal safety.

Introducing… Mr. Herman.
8 week old Shih Tzu puppy. Light brown with a white chest, black ears and snout, and a white streak up his face like the ‘70’s star “Benji”.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.
