Quite a lot of people lost someone, maybe an elderly relative, during the heatwave. My Aunt Barbara, very ill with advanced dementia, died yesterday aged 91. She was unmarried, no kids and I had been taking care of her affairs for the past few years. That’s the least interesting thing about her. 1
Please, Let me be three again. Let my parents put me to bed in stocking feet, Where the light burns in the corner, To chase away the night dreams.
Yep. Sacramento. A military jet was attempting to take off during an airshow, crashed through a fence, and struck the shop. m.youtube.com/watch?v=d8SF...

#1: This whole Bari Weiss look is an immediate red flag. #2: The "if you watch this on mute, does the speaker's body language look stupid" test applies here. #3: This is fucking stupid framing.

Hello, fellow Central Valley resident who had to read Patty Reed's doll and learn Gold Rush history in elementary school.

Ryan Dunlavey@ryandunlavey.bsky.social · 4mo agoI was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.
An interesting, impromptu thread from someone who worked on the Nokia N-Gage.
Matt Splat@mattskyblue.bsky.social · 5mo agoThat would quite possibly take years. There is an excellent book on the whole ordeal called "Fantastinen floppi" though unfortunately, I believe it is only in Finnish. But basically, it was an unholy marriage of a number of spare parts that the execs decided could be turned into a gaming device...
There's no attribution, and searching for the quote on Google only turns up similar social media posts with no citations. This is fake.
SpryOldLorax@spryoldlorax.bsky.social · 6mo agoPump this directly into my veins: A top GOP official in Texas says, "It looks like we f***ed ourselves with our gerrymandering. We watered down all the red districts to steal as many blue ones as possible and now the electorate hates us and our turnout is collapsing." May this not be just a fluke.
I realized I didn't want to be a therapist. A buddy hired me because he needed a writer for the websites he was building for clients. Along the way, I learned a bunch of digital marketing and analytics skills because there was no one else to do that work. 15 years later...

Smellbringer@smellbringer.bsky.social · 10mo agoNever gets old:
My political temperament has been pacifistic all my life. Never again. I never want to hear a Democrat so much as whisper the word "bipartisanship." After the last quarter century, any candidate who doesn't have a wrathful thirst for justice that will never be quenched doesn't have my vote.
My cat Jem is Exhibit A for the former. He's indoor/outdoor (because I was an idiot when I first got him, and he's too stubborn to give up his freedom). He's 16, and aside from surviving through sheer spite, one of his greatest joys in life is murdering rodents and leaving them for me to find.

![It is questionable whether the applicants complied
with the general obligation to seek emergency injunctive relief in the District Court before asking for
such relief from an appellate court. Fed. Rules App.
Proc. 8(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(C). When the applicants requested such relief in the District Court, they insisted on a ruling within 45 minutes on Good Friday
afternoon, and when the District Court did not act
within 133 minutes, they filed a notice of appeal,
which the District Court held deprived it of jurisdiction. See ECF Doc. 41, at 3–4. It is doubtful that
this aborted effort satisfied Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 8(a)(1)(C).
When this Court rushed to enter its order, the Court
of Appeals was considering the issue of emergency
relief, and we were informed that a decision would
be forthcoming. This Court, however, refused to
wait. But under this Court’s Rule 23.3, “[e]xcept in
the most extraordinary circumstances, an application for a stay will not be entertained unless the relief requested was first sought in the appropriate
court or courts below or from a judge or judges
thereof.”
The only papers before this Court were those submitted by the applicants. The Court had not ordered or
received a response by the Government regarding either the applicants’ factual allegations or any of the
legal issues presented by the application. And the](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreigoju72uo25ise4nmhk6evsifmzceje2dfdr7ywwo7t5bxhatwfcy)
