"We will know we have gone too far when the first self-service funeral parlour opens. The deceased will be delivered to a loading bay where the family scans a QR code, selects cremation or burial and watches a short instructional video called Preparing Your Loved One in Five Easy Steps."

Today Austin's Old People radio station ran a Greg Abbott ad, followed immediately by what I assumed was a Ken Paxton campaign ad. It described his "commanding primary win," his deep conservative support, etc. It was a Kalshi ad, urging people to go bet on the Texas Senate race.

Trump rambles for AGES about the White House renovation (802 words total). The interviewer then changes topic, but Trump tries to bring it back to the White House. The Time reporter doesn't engage and moves on McConnell, and Trump just SNAPS: "You haven't asked me one fucking positive question."
You mentioned the Democrats will come after you if they win. Are you considering pardoning members of your administration prior to the end of your term?

Yeah, sure I’d do that. 

Is that something you would consider doing? 

Well, Sleepy Joe Biden, he gave pardons to everyone. [Holds up pictures of White House] They're actually—see, this is the way it looks now.

Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Chicagoland friends, I have a favor to ask. I have a pro bono client, a Black woman, who is currently facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at her abusive ex - who admitted to raping her. I would love if there could be a show of support for her at her next few court dates.

In a bad mood tonight because we found a stray dog at the dog park today; it had obviously been dumped there and was too traumatized to be handled and while I was looking for help, it ran off. Given the location, it's extremely likely it belongs to someone who was kidnapped by ICE. Fuck ICE.

For those who don't pay attention to these little games: removing courses from the core curriculum is intended to punish students interested in those courses by making it harder for them to graduate in 4 years. Disfavored majors will be punished down the line for sub-par 4-year grad rates.
