A delightful thing I do is fall asleep on the train or bus and when everyone else has exited and the conductor or driver comes by and wakes me up I scream in abject terror.

Donating blood (there’s some huge shortage right now), and i have been persuaded to do something called a “power red,” which takes 90 minutes and will leave me as tiny and shrunken as a raisin.
A sad fucked-up story gets even darker. Excellent reporting here.
Jessica Lussenhop@jlussenhop.bsky.social · 3w agoPeople blamed Alice Sebold after it came out that the man she identified as her rapist was actually innocent. But what this shows is that the Syracuse police and the university primed the ground for such a tragedy to occur. Laid out point by point here: www.propublica.org/article/sebo...
The logo alone is enough to give one explosive diarrhea.
Just finished tuning an autoharp, AMA.

It's so hot it's hard to summon the energy to cook my lettuce.
Personal goal: die without ever using passkeys or even understanding what they are.
Haven’t looked at etsy in a while but fiverr, which i would use now and then for weird tech tasks i couldn’t do myself (video or audio editing) and sometimes cheap session players (don’t judge me!), is now overrun with AI slop.

![MULLIN v. DOE
Syllabus
that the termination of Haiti’s TPS designation violated the constitutional right to equal protection because it was motivated by race. The
District Court granted interim relief, and a divided D. C. Circuit panel
declined to issue a stay. The Government sought a stay and a writ of
certiorari before judgment in both cases. This Court granted review,
consolidated the cases, and deferred ruling on the stay applications.
Held:
1. The TPS statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims.
Pp. 12–18.
(a) Section 1254a(b)(5)(A) provides that “[t]here is no judicial review
of any determination of the [Secretary of Homeland Security] with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a designation,
of a foreign state.” The term “determination” may mean either an individual decision or the process leading to a decision. Under either
understanding, §1254a(b)(5)(A) bars all of respondents’ non-constitutional claims. Further, the phrase “with respect to” “generally has a
broadening effect, ensuring that the scope of a provision covers not
only its subject but also matters relating to that subject.” Patel v. Garland, 596 U. S. 328, 339 (internal quotation marks omitted). Pp. 12–
13.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifragvqrfnsseonrcnsl6nx32n2tbgdi7a4ugnuyh2h4xggbga3si)
Oh look, my favorite band is playing tomorrow night in NYC. See you there.
I have turned into the sort of person who has wacky things on his car.
Research for a book cover on white women's wellness culture and its roots in and ties to racism, misogyny, and conspiracy theorists is making my blood pressure go way up. I'm very excited to do the cover, but I need to not expire from rage first.
There should be a name for the dead, meaningless stretches of life between Mekons shows.
Mom sent me a pile of stuff from my dad’s files: stories I wrote in 2nd grade, articles from high school, band flyers, including this Flat Old World postcard from 1993, a show I can't recall playing. I certainly did lots of shows with Dewan and Drink Me, but I feel like I'd remember Jad Fair. 🤷♀️
Actual quote by a guy on our local online message board, arguing that the t-shirt & slogan for the town’s annual 4th of July parade was too woke & anti-Trump: "I for one do not want to see a 4th of July parade celebrating revolutionary resistance."
💔 Steve Almaas was a musical legend but was also my friend and neighbor and just about the sweetest guy ever. Rest in peace.
I have approached this question scientifically and it is a perfect tie between "Girl of My Dreams" by Bram Tchaikovsky and "Starry Eyes" by The Records.
Kevin Church@beaucoupkevin.com · 2mo agoOff the top of your head: what's the best pop record of all time? I'll go first: "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5.
Schoolyard assholes' "Lerner, you're such a fag" dialogue is now apparently the stuff of national political debate.
