Greetings from NorCal! It's too dark for a weather visual, but it's 39F and not raining. Today's tea is Imperial Dragon green tea with cardamom and saffron. Delicious!

Have a wonderful Friday!

I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering if Harlan Crow paid off Brett Kavanaugh's debts.

Now I'm wondering just how many Supreme Court Justices Harlan Crow owns.

After Clarence Thomas retires in disgrace pending his indictment, President Biden should nominate Anita Hill to the Supreme Court. 😉

Just for those of you who don’t know this:

If you’re using hyperbole, you are lying.

If someone else is using hyperbole, they are lying.

That is all.
End of PSA.

The pharmeceutical industry has got some things to say about these attempts to ban/limit abortion meds by court order.

Considering how ruthless their lobbying can be, it grinds me to admit that I'm glad their on "our" side for once, even if their reason for being in this position is the threat to their bottom line.

There's gonna be the big problem with 'Substack Notes'.

It's all tied to the one account. A Substack account.

Then, you a journalist, for example, says something that the notes Mods deem a breach.

BOOM.

Your life's work just vanishes along with your subscriber income.

We don't bite though, unless you want us to. New people should definitely hop right in. This is what it's supposed to be.

Not one side vs. another. Just people being people.

I wonder why Roberts won't investigate Clarence Thomas? It is a mystery. 🤔 #politics #Twitter #SCOTUS

There is a video circulating of Russian mercenaries beheading alive a captured Ukrainian soldier, ISIS-style.

You do *not* need to see it.

Trust me.

Help! Help! I'm the messiah and I'm being repressed!

Yeah, sometimes I just hang out to watch you all be nice to each other.

Thanks all.

I may need this in the morning. ☕

Been saving up to replace some old appliances and finally hit the number where I can comfortably get them. I have never felt more like the mythical "Grown-Up" before in my life. A PS5 is cool, but a fridge with a functioning ice-maker? [chef's kiss]

I rarely self-promote my poetry books, but I can be found on Amazon if you should be so inclined.
