first of all, it's not "shrekking," it's "roger rabbiting," and second of all, jessica rabbit legitimately saw roger rabbit as hot and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be writing about any of this

In talking with his cousin, we thought Jr was crashing with friends. We texted him to let him know we found some things he needs (insurance paperwork, etc). Turns out he's been sleeping in his truck since Wednesday. It hurts so damn bad but we can't have his behavior here anymore. :(

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

It's only 4 pages, go read it. It's delicious in it's precision, and as a lapsed Catholic I didn't think "Sincerely yours in Christ" could sound like "Fuck you" but in this case...

Your typcal demand letter is agressively dismissive, but I'd describe this one more as "serenely implacable." It's a fascinating rhetorical study. flaccb.org/documents/20... (Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, to Florida AG Uthmeyer, re: Catholic-school vaccination requirements.)

Please please please have this conversation with your parents. My Mom and her eldest younger sister took care of Oma for two years as she declined. It's been almost two years since she passed and they're still dealing with finances. She stayed in her house b/c the 5 year lookback.

While I’m issuing dire warnings, if your parents are still reasonably healthy, get them to sign powers of attorney while they are still physically mobile and legally competent because you do not want to deal with the hell I’m dealing with right now

THREAD: A couple of thoughts on Natalie Harp. First, I'm so glad that people on our side are concerned about her and her mental health. It's because we have hearts and empathy and we aren't sociopaths. We're good people, and I love that about us. But I think we are also right to be angry. 1/

Schoolyear->Summer transition is always hard b/c my inputs and workload spike 2-3x with both kids home 24/7. Summer->Schoolyear transition is, perversely, worse. Nonwork drops nominally to zero, and I'm suddenly adrift in a sea of "what the fuck do I do with myself."

Bessent downplays the national debt: "There's nothing magic about the $40 trillion number. We can grow our way out of that."

Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust.

Jr came by to get his meds, clothes, and toiletries. We already had all his clothes in lawn/leaf bags to show when we said 'this is your last chance' back in mid July, we meant it. He got a 2nd job yesterday, and his cousin had texted if that was enough for him to come home.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
