Not *that* Marc Jacobs. Nik is a TTRPG reference. Same nik on Mastodon. Avatar: me at Neuschwanstein castle, Bavaria. Profile: rainy street in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
From the Ring Doorbell playbook of telling LE what and what not to say, including never using the word “surveillance.”

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wearing a "Trans Kids Belong" shirt while her team played against (and beat) Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever is such a big "hell yeah fuck you TERFs" moment.
Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
Sophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis
Just saw a woman wearing a shirt “PHY” for public house of Yakima. Nope, not a serdes or Ethernet t-shirt.
Anyway, the richest person in the word's net worth is down like $700 billion from its peak, so let's all keep going, folks, we'll make $175 billion a lot again!
He gets to learn it for the first time so, so many times
A war waged entirely between the close of markets on fridays and the opening of markets on monday morning
My secret for finding new (to me) music on music platforms is to take the name of a country and a decade and search for playlists. Like “Czech 1960s” or “Japan 1970s”. You can also add a genre if you feel extra adventurous
At SeaTac airport to pick up my wife. There are Keysight ads in baggage claim. Not what I expected to see here.
I want the Supreme Court so packed with new justices they can rule the Insular Cases wrongly decided within a week of being sworn in
A GOP Congressman, Griffith Morgan (Virginia), has introduced a bill to strip people in Guam, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and every other US non-state territory of their birthright citizenship. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
if you want to see normally sclerotic do-nothing local governments suddenly snap into action, do some quietly beneficial tactical urbanism type thing like this and watch how quickly they race to remove it
The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
Renee by Johnny Griffin & Matthew Gee. I saw that name, and thought, wow, a Cantonese-surname jazz musician? Nope. African American man. ☺️ Great tune #Jazz #Music youtu.be/ebcwUabToZE?...

DOJ asked the 5th Circuit to save it from being "crushed" by a "flood" of habeas cases now, im just a simple legal writer, but I suspect DOJ wouldnt have to deal with so many unconstitutional detention lawsuits if it didnt unconstitutionally detain so many people ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

right, this isn't "well you're spending money on a shitty megacorp" basically every dollar she gets these days goes directly to funding this stuff it's hard to get people to connect "buying a toy wand from the kid wizard book" with trans genocide but that doesn't make it less true
Yeah, I've been trying to get through to a lot of people about that, I'm not "cancelling someone because I disagree with her opinions," I'm explaining that every time you go see the Harry Potter play or buy a pair of Hufflepuff socks, you are personally directly funding a hate campaign
Saw a man in the Safeway wearing a T-shirt with an angel holding an assault rifle. Looked like a renaissance painting other than that detail. He explained his neighbor was a cop, and had gifted him the shirt. Propaganda *for the cops themselves* it seemed to me, although I didn’t say this.
it probably works best as a Calvin bit but I believe I speak for many people when I say I would read the shit out of a fully committed Tracer Bullet story from Watterson no question he could pull it off
