@sfleetucker a few weeks ago, for about three days, I tried to recreate my bird experience here. Then I thought to myself why the hell would I want to do that? This place needs to be as different from that as possible.

"Justice Juan Merchan just rescheduled next week’s hearing on Donald Trump’s potential gag order violations. It will now be Thursday morning, not Wednesday afternoon." WAPO story on Merchan kicking the ball down the road further. Why is this finding so hard to rule on? I don't get it.

Do newspapers still have proof readers?

So OJ died. I was reading an LA Times article about Simpson and spotted a major Freudian slip. See if you can find the problem.

The press works him into every story.

Now they have no where to go other than to try to frighten the populace about scary immigrants that they refused to legislate an answer to solve. What an uncomfortable spot they're in now - all of their own creation.

It was my belief that Republicans would never actually overturn Roe v Wade. It was a perennial winner for them every election cycle with the fundamentalists. Of course, once Trump appointed three of those fundamentalists to the Supreme Court, they lost that issue as a point to run on. Turns out the issue couldn't continue to win elections for them seeing as how the majority support choice.

Damn skippy.

The downfall of the gop in 24’ will be underestimating the anger of their opponents. They think bodily autonomy is less important than a border wall.

Caitlyn Clark is just amazing. What a gamer! Got to be happy for the Iowa team!

Fun watching NC State v. Duke in the NCAA tourney this afternoon. Love an underdog!

Hey . I haven't done this in a few months, but I've noticed that the funding has been getting a little more challenging each month.

Storage, compute, bandwidth: not free.

will help everyone keep the lights on and keep this the place it is. You won't have an algorithm shoving content down your throat. It won't ever be a thing you have to pay for, but if you can, throw in a few bucks to keep the lights running and @th3j35t3r (somewhat) sane.

No guarantee on that last one.

You gotta love it when they eat their own. GOP women, you signed up for this misogynist BS. Read what Charlie Kirk says. 😱

So Seth Meyers did a pretty good job of synthesizing where we are at this moment in the election. Very funny. Very frightening.

A great advantage of living near Philadelphia (in addition to having been able to watch Jason Kelce play football for for 13 years)

Was able to spend this morning at the 154th Annual Philadelphia l Flower Show. Just an amazing event!

Gonna have to be next winter as I just had surgery on the 7th of this month. Rebounding/healing is going well so far. Good pathology report has me inspired. Life's too short to stop skiing!

God, I miss skiing. Working on getting back in shape enough so I can go again. Heli skiing at Whistler Blackcomb two decades ago.

Thoughts and prayers are clearly not working. Hey Congress, Hey Senate - what else you got? What’s your price? Can we outbid the fucking NRA?
