When you’re a family lawyer getting trained in DV, they tell you what typical abusers sound like and you go,”surely this is a caricature!? No one can be this awful,” and then, they all act and sound EXACTLY like this dude. It’s baffling.
Don't bother me. I'm working on a new First Amendment hypothetical.
God forbid the Welsh have hobbies
Interesting experiment on this front: in it, people’s decisions started by being influenced by the theme and then over the next few games all basically converged
The Incan Gold Experiment Part 2 - The Results
In last week’s GameTek I described a thought experiment about retheming Incan Gold as a firefighting game.

Let's all sit with the fact that the president wants to jail some random person who is self-evidently innocent. It's not surprising, but it's amazing that much of the media is almost completely disinterested in this fact.
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
this is clickbait garbage a) it wasn't ~dronez~ stuff, it was the same vanilla GPS jamming that has occurred at WSMR for decades b) a crew should *absolutely* be capable of conducting a nonprecision approach to an ILS, *ESPECIALLY* if there's a NOTAM out for PNT jamming
A routine medical flight, on a clear night, ended with a plane crash that killed all four people onboard. Investigators say it's the first known US civilian plane crash tied to electronic warfare. This won't be the last story of its kind. A must-read from @jeffwise.bsky.social for @wired.com
No, the US military did not do this at all, if anyone actually bothers to read the actual NTSB preliminary report. The flight crew (and others) were having issues and were telling it to the controller, the supervisor requested that jamming be turned off, and the military turned off the jamming.
I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

Forgot to mention this but OP's quote covers Max Milller discussing custody and self-identifying as an every-other weekend dad. Sometimes that's what folks can only do, no shame, but you're not a joint parent as a practical matter with that timeline.
Jurisdictions vary but under both jurisdictions i've practiced family law in, this would not be a violation of standard parenting agreements absent very particular facts or a bad judge, particularly if domestic violence is a concern.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
Still don't understand the New York Times not running the money laundering follow up to this story.
Trump Organization Sues Capital One for Closing Its Accounts (Gift Article)

What a time to be alive; we have GUNS in Fire Emblem now 👏👏
One way to make your fantasy pantheon feel weirder and more resonant with mythology is to make them more LOCAL. Gods cannot hear you if you're not at their specific shrine. Not all gods are known to you. Their blessings must be discovered. Not all gods are for you. Their worship is proscribed.
LibraryGram/Library Tok is some of the most ruthless.
public libraries ftw
Another day where the president & other national Republicans get to sh*t on cities/urban voters & we have <exactly none> of the National Conversations™️ about Civility, Tone, Respect for/Reaching out to Real Folkz, or the GOP’s problem of not offering enough Moderate Solutions on Kitchen Table Issues
Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Not once has any male White House correspondent defended a female colleague from this abuse.
Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
