BRETT KAVANAUGH: "Can you explain exactly how the consent would work?" Just saying... if *I* were Brett Kavanaugh, *I* WOULDN'T ASK A QUESTION SHOWING THAT I WAS CONFUSED HOW CONSENT WORKS! But maybe that's just me.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The Taming of Sméagol, by Donato Giancola, 2010
A scene from The Two Towers. Sam is on his belly with naked twink Sméagol straddling his hips. Frodo pulls his head back by the hair erotically and leans in to his ear while brandishing Sting. It is *extremely* gay.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Am I thrilled about this? No. With that said, the current B&N brain trust has been giving individual stores more autonomy to serve their specific communities, not just take dictates from corporate. Which means, hopefully, some of the Joseph-Beth vibe will still survive. www.wkyt.com/2026/09/15/b...

The Sharp Tranket transistor radio (1960)
A radio that combines the design language of old American muscle cars and the spacerace. The top is forest green with tailfins, the bottom is ivory white, and the front is shining silver, on a silver stand. Up top we find a single antenna, a red power/volume dial, and you turn the 'intake" of the rocket to change the stations (the tuning display is immediately behind the engine, incoporated into the body).

The fundamental test of birthright citizenship is this: if someone illegally trafficked people to this country and forced them into bondage and then those people had children, would those children have rights to object to continued servitude? If you answer isn't "yes, they have rights" you lose.

The schedule is complicated by the fact that a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket (the type of rocket intended to lift the lunar lander) exploded a couple weeks ago, dramatically enough to damage the launchpad, and meanwhile SpaceX's Starship hasn't yet successfully reached orbit. And 2027 is next year.
