Due process isn’t just for white people
"Sophie Cunningham said Wednesday that she wants the focus to return to basketball after her comments on transgender athletes" Must be nice, to be able to expect that what she wants will just happen.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender
The pitch your electric weed whacker makes while trimming the verge works as a pedal tone all the way through the Theme From Shaft. Do with this information what you will.
Go, Kris!
Jane Voter@janevoter2018.bsky.social · 5h agoRent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days
Hey! It’s my birthday! Any other Gen X girlies suffer through this childhood haircut? They called it a “pixie cut” right before sitting you down in a kitchen chair and whacking off all your hair with blunt scissors.
If they'll take Mississippi I'll pay for the fucking thing.
Oh no, not Alabama. How will we live without Alabama?

What once would have been a pitch in a writers’ room for tastelessly edgy joke in a comedic satire of a deranged country full of greedy sociopaths is now our reality.
Let us never forget that OpenAI assures us that each Flock camera contains between 1 and 3 grams of gold in its chips and other internal components....
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 7h agoNew: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...
Because everything's a bit crappy today, I'm sharing this thread of beautiful sheep and their delightful stories (in the alt text.)
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · last mo.I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
Bittersweet nightshade made an appearance in the yard this year. It’s pretty so I hate to pull it. 😭
It has always been my dream to live alone in a dune shack on the outer Cape and write middling fiction using a typewriter. The waste basket in the corner would be overflowing with balls of crumpled paper and I’d never finish
Every day brings me closer to being that old guy who goes shirtless from May – September. The lack of self-awareness coupled with not giving a single fuck must be sublime
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

I've never seen a woodpecker threat display until just now, when Elvis ran up barking at this poor guy just trying to grab some breakfast. Little man was not expecting him to scream back at him and RAN. 😂
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
When my brother and I were kids, we were at the store with our mom and we were being silly, and in a dramatic voice I said, “It’s time to go. The party’s over.” And there was an old man in front of us who turned quickly and stared and I think it’s because he thought he was hearing the Grim Reaper.

For many years, this hawthorn grew alone in an open landscape. Now a young species-rich rainforest ecosystem is building all around. Nature loss isn't inevitable: it *can* be reversed, through rewilding.
When a remote majesty and the potential for new discovery and danger see you as an adventure, don't just quit your job. Get itchy. Make people lost and call me. I'm a wheeler dealer sayin scat instead of shit
