It took me a second to figure out why it was Dolly Day because that is not, in fact, how dates are written here, but for today it IS, because I'll work "to five, nine" for Dolly.

I think the real question is, does bisexual mean once every other sex, or twice per sex?

I'm guessing that this is because FOX is trying to settle that second lawsuit, and firing Bartiromo is a condition the plaintiff asked for - and I guess she'll have a job with the Trump administration by Monday. Probably overseeing the ATF or heading up NOAA or something equally ridiculous.

This is the kind of unity I LOVE to see! Where the goal is bigger than the person, and we all get behind the person currently leading because if they make it, we all make it.

It seems that I only ever hear terror about someone else's religion being made US law which applies to citizens who don't adhere to that religion, from people who have made their own religion US law which applies to us who don't adhere to their religion.

They do. I'm GenX and my gen is split, but I'm one of the ones who had it harder than my Silent Gen parents. And my GenZ kid has it so hard that we moved to EU so he'd have a shot. Lucky we can do that bc of European g'parents. It's harder here now than it was, too, but better than in the US.

My mom is in her 80s and messaged me that she saw Spiderman interviewed and he's adorable and so is his new wife. So I had the UNPRECEDENTED HONOUR of showing her this video for the first time. I got an all caps reply with many exclamation points. Now, you all know the law.

Humans are notoriously bad at telling the difference between "bad thing didn't happen to me because I minimized the risk" and "bad thing didn't happen to me therefore the risk was minimal" and Republicans prey on that.

More women die in heatwaves, but biology 'isn't main cause'
In country after country, more women are dying from the heat than men. But researchers say biology isn't the main reason. Age, working conditions, and unequal access to rest may drive the gap.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

I don't understand the superfans who instantly trash a new offering from their fandom. It's ok to not like it. But this trend of campaigning to eradicate series, movies, books you don't deem sufficient is decimating genres some of us love without requiring compliance with our every ideal from it.

Spouse and I are making chicken with Italian seasonings for dinner. I assigned him the task of crushing and rough-chopping the garlic after I managed to stab myself with - not the knife - but the garlic clove itself. SPOUSE: Can I just crush them? Or do I have to also chop them? ME: Also chop.

The "pin/pen" glide in American dialects has always been a huge source of misunderstanding for me, even starting in college, though definitely after I moved to the south. I always trip up and hear the opposite one intended.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

ST:TNG S4E9 - Picard and Wesley's shuttle crashes on a desert planet en route to Starfleet Academy. They take shelter in a cave where they find Robert Downey Jr. building an iron suit. Picard says, "Oh, I envy you, Wesley Crusher. You're just at the beginning of the Avengers."
A post on the group Star Trek Wholesomeposting calls for followers to prove that they're a Star Trek fan by answering the question "What's the saddest moment in Star Trek history that still hits every time you rewatch" by getting a quote hilariously wrong. It also quotes a privacy-blurred follower who said "When Spock dies falling down the inside of the glass with his hand reached out for Kirk to put out his hand. "The needs of the money out with the needs of the one or the few."

Here's a big reason I think Trump is against mail-in votes that I haven't heard discussed much in the news I'm able to access from overseas: access to TIME. As an American voting from abroad, I HAVE to mail in my ballot. And I have more time to NOT fall for all the little tricks.

Listening to Bessent talk about the strength of the dollar -- from here in Europe, where currency exchange app ads start with "Being paid in US dollars?" as a problem that we need to solve with the least abysmal rates we can find -- would be laughable if it wasn't so devastating.
