Octavia E. Butler’s novel “Parable of the Talents” depicts a dystopian United States run by Christian Nationalists. Their slogan is “Make America Great Again.” Published in 1998, many years before Trump’s political career, but this poem in the book prophesied Trump. (Poem from @zymplex.bsky.social)

Anti-abortion lawyers: Even RBG thought the reasoning of Roe v. Wade was wrong! Pro-choice lawyers: Cool, we'll sue under equal protection Anti-abortion lawyers: how DARE you

sad Raul Labrador statement after a judge said Idaho's ban needs a health exception: "The judge determined U.S. constitutional protections under the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment 'establish a narrow but fundamental right to abortion when a pregnancy threatens the woman’s life or health.'” https://idahocapitalsun.com/2026/08/13/idaho-judge-ruling-allows-abortion-if-it-protects-mothers-health-prevents-self-harm/ BOISE, ID — Four years ago, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the U.S. Supreme Court made clear that the U.S. Constitution says nothing about abortion and returned the thorny issue of how to regulate abortion back to the states, where it had rested until the Roe decision transferred that authority to the Courts. Following Dobbs, Idaho chose to protect the lives of unborn children in Idaho, while still allowing mothers to receive care when their own lives are at risk. Last week, a federal district judge defied the U.S. Supreme Court and invented a new constitutional right to abortion based on a risk to health or threats of suicide. Attorney General Raúl Labrador has now filed a notice of appeal asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the ruling, and also filed an emergency motion asking the district court to stay its own injunction to allow Idaho’s Defense of Life Act to be enforced while the appeal proceeds. https://www.ag.idaho.gov/newsroom/ag-labrador-appeals-ruling-that-would-let-doctors-override-idahos-pro-life-law/sad quote from lawyer at ADF, which wrote the law the Supreme Court used to overturn Roe v. Wade Idaho’s restrictions on abortion without health exceptions were found unconstitutional, but the broader ban remains in place. Voters will get a chance to scale back the state’s restrictive abortion laws in November. Winmill stated in the decision that Idahoans opposing state abortion law, “the solution lies at the ballot box rather than the courthouse.” Still, some view the court’s actions as an affront. “By rediscovering a federal constitutional right to abortion, the court short-circuited the democratic process that resulted in Idaho’s pro-life laws,” said Mathew Hoffman, legal counsel at the Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom. “We look forward to defending Idaho’s laws and working with the ID Attorney General’s office in protecting unborn children and their mothers on appeal.”

There’s a pretty big difference between assistive AI and generative AI. Ignore people like this who try to convince you there isn’t. They’re usually shilling for billionaires.

Not going to get in to it deeply, but the KICK ME sign on my back is working so well this month that I asked Husbun to ensure that when I eventually die, my tombstone reads KICK HERE, REALLY HARD. At least I'll get to break a few assholes' toes in revenge.
