It has been a three day adventure trying to get to the big kid to help her move back to college from her co-op on the East Coast. Today I am appreciating the Frederick Douglass International Airport. Cozy napping chairs, quiet employees taking breaks, kind chill Dunkin employee, you ROC.

Creek update: once again, my head has been identified as the ideal target for a territorial blackbird. I am thinking about calling this one Durga. Or possibly Karen the Bridge Troll.

Son and I got our train and tram on today. Electric, steam, electric.
Sexy little red and green electric intra urban tram from the 1920's in all its glory.

Current problems mostly related to staff shortages. Some balloons aren’t getting launched. Some forecast offices can’t operate 24 hrs/day. But, the real nightmare isn’t inaccurate weather forecasts. It’s going to be: “impossible nowcasts”. What’s a “nowcast”( glad you asked, read next thread…🧵

On this day 163 years ago Robert Smalls and those enslaved aboard the steamer Planter emancipated themselves under seemingly impossible odds. On May 13, 1862 they lived their first day free from bondage. Their story continues to inspire countless people to this day.

FB recommended that I friend Dan Quayle today and that seems as good a summary of the current world order as any. There's nothing left to do but stay in the game and keep fighting for my sanity and human dignity in every way I can.

“Unfortunately, right now, it looks like the polluters won.” Experts say that the mass of scientists being forced out of the EPA will slow down any future regulation of chemicals.

The EPA Will Likely Gut Team That Studies Health Risks From Chemicals
Reorganizations at the EPA may get rid of the agency’s fundamental program for research around the risks of toxic chemicals.

When I was signing people up for the first round of COVID vaccines, it was having choices that got them through the door and vaccinated. It was vaccinations that allowed us to get back to work and school. RFKJr taking choice away to grift feels like a full on body slam.

I have dealt with kid whining, arguments, snark, meltdowns and even violence allllll day long, then I open Bluesky and I look at the governmental disasters. Only spring and hope for better systems to help the kids are motivating me at the moment.

The funding for some of Trump’s “data” on an alleged ActBlue “fraud” seems to have come from just such a source: an opaque super-PAC bankrolled by none other than Elon Musk.
motherjones.com
Trump's attack on ActBlue's 'dark money' was backed by dark money
Elon Musk helped fund an effort to gin up fraud claims against the donation platform.

The two NGO employees without security clearances who inexplicably have access to classified nuclear weapons data are Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a venture capitalist whose firm took a large stake in a SpaceX supplier last year. Sure it’s just a coincidence.

For all the claims that Americans are in a populist mood and therefore scornful of higher education it sure seems as though Trump’s War on College is super-unpopular. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

An unconfirmed political appointee - who is an antivaxx grifter with no vaccine or immunology experience, or even drug or drug approval experience, …or even clinical trial experience for that matter - is making it impossible for the updated COVID Novavax (the non-mRNA option) vaccine to get approved

Entire government acting like an abusive spouse makes me more exhausted when ex acts like an ass. I'm really mad at myself for internally reacting. Being dumped by a friend as his girlfriend moves in and dealing with job search & child care just adds ✨✨✨. I need more strength, patience and wisdom.

Creek update: the volunteer fire department is out practicing and the magnolias are in bloom. The young muskrat has taken over a new stretch, and the VFW is planning a controversial shelter. The dogs have wrapped themselves around a pole. One dog figured out how to reverse himself and break free.

This ruling also asserts that the characteristics of "women drivers" are biologically determined, if you want to gauge the radioactive level of sexism it emits.
In the case of sex discrimination, it is impossible to see how an assessment of the
differential risk known to be posed by, say, (highlighting) women and men drivers (end highlighting), could possibly be
made by reference to actuarial or other reliable data sources that had also to take account
of certificated sex based on a GRC. There is no rational basis for thinking that having a
certificate could make a difference to the risk posed by drivers of different sexes. Here
too, sex can only mean biological sex.

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

• Al Overview
The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
• Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone.
• Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

'For as much as Trump tried to project himself as an unstoppable force, the truth was that he was as vulnerable as he’s ever been. All it took was real political leadership to demonstrate the extent to which the Trump White House was more of a paper tiger than it may have looked at first glance.'

The world is more frequently feeling like one of those Holodeck Gone Rogue episodes of Star Trek. Someone blended in History Channel uploads with several dystopian novels and some bad brochures and pamphlets.
