Hoosier in Seattle since 2021. Randy Newman once told me he liked the way I saw the world. I love all weird 70s and 80s music and movies, and video games.

It is now one of the biggest facts in the world that the richest man in the world is an overt white supremacist trying to bend politics worldwide in the direction of white supremacy. Twitter isn't the source of his wealth but it is his biggest megaphone.

I guess the only real option is to keep being kind and looking out for others, whenever possible. And hopefully that makes capacity for THEM to do the same, down the line. (So, so grateful to the neighbor's friend--whose doorstep we turned up on, so late!--for caring for her.)

Happy birthday Pike Place Market, opened OTD in 1907. One of Seattle’s top tourist destinations and the place where I enjoyed my first avocado. They weren’t sold back East in the 1970s.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

A large bag was thrown out of the white house window and the official response was that it never happened. The back of his hand shimmers most days. Some officials are showing signs of alcohol and substance abuse. Factual, evidence based news is often paywalled and quackery is easy to access.

After I saw this take I realized Sean Davis is not a serious person to listen to.
Sean Davis twitter post that says: Several ways forward here given the choice of Roberts/Barrett to nullify the 14th Amendment and extra-constitutionally replace it with their own language:

1) Nullification. States issue birth certificates, and they can just stop issuing them to non-citizens. Roberts/Barrett can deal with the fallout and litigate each birth individually.

2) Pack the court. If Robert wants to be a politician who writes laws instead of a judge, then he can fight with 10 more unelected legislators in robes. 

3) Deny entry to all pregnant foreigners.

4) Deny entry to all female foreigners. 

5) Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry.

6) Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation.

7) Amend the Constitution. This is pointless, because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will (as Roberts and Barrett did today), the actual text is meaningless. But this is what most GOP politicians gravitate towards because they are useless.

If you think all these options are not great, understand that that is what happens when unelected judges decide that they are in charge of the country and get to write its laws.

It's the game I can honestly say I've bought the most times. Nintendo 64, GameCube when it was on a GameStop special release preorder disk, on 3ds when it was truly 3D. On wii. I will be first in line. The ocarina of time is the best game ever made.
