My guess is that the strategy is to create as many conditions subject to lawsuits as possible so that things can’t get certified or whatever other fuckery goes down.

“How many trans people do you know?” is a good question to ask anyone with opinions about how the law and society should treat trans people if their opinion is anything other than, “with love and like everybody else.”

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

We need to get Republicans on record explaining what may be done via Executive Order so that when they balk at President Democrat doing ANYTHING via Executive Order, we can revel in pointing out their hypocrisy while it makes no impact on their hypocrisy.

If and when Republicans are not in power, I hope that everyone just ignores them. I don’t want their input or opinion if this kind of crap is OK with them. Just do stuff and make them undo it. Enough.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk. It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow. The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

In unusual deal, a $1.8 billion fund that could help Trump allies is created
The agreement to end the Trump family's lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority to distribute nearly $1.8 billion to those who, like the president, have claimed they have been targets of a
"weaponized" justice system.

Love this! www.notus.org/perspectives... (The suggestions from the 15 other WaPo veterans fall well short of the moment.)

Treat lies like obscenities.
Kate Cohen
Former Post contributing columnist
My dream new journalistic standard would make it unacceptable to quote a lie in a news story. In the deep-fake, bot-infested Trump era, it’s no longer enough for news organizations to seek truth; we need them to protect the public from lies. Lies should be treated like obscenities, graphic violence or sexual content. That means literally refusing to repeat a transparent lie — not quoting it early and then offering corrective facts two paragraphs or 30 seconds later. Sure, sometimes it’s a judgment call whether a statement falls just to the spin side of the mendacity line. But sometimes it’s obvious. You know how news stories avoid quoting profanity by saying things like “he said, adding an expletive for emphasis”? That’s how reporters should deal with lies: e.g., “he said, before repeatedly lying about …” As for lying on live TV? Bring on the bleeps!

Many people are saying that Trump is healing Epstein in this pic, but it’s not Epstein. It’s just that the AI used to make this image created a likeness of the human most likely to be depicted with Trump, and that just so happened to end up being someone who looked very similar to Epstein.

I was raised Catholic and I'm pretty sure I still remember a bunch of stuff we learned in Catholic school, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the rules clearly state that there's no human on earth who can promise/ensure that another human is guaranteed to get into heaven.
