I Don't Want to Wear Pants

@xehtfodrol.northsky.social

I do venue operations, people watching, whiskey, and beer. Always wearing a kilt except for when I'm not. Father to the best child in existence, I'll fight you. Here for a lot of things, not here for some things. 🖤🩶🤍💜 #FreePalestine #TransRights

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.

"I don't get it guys, the man who we've catered to in every conceivable way doesn't get that /this/ time we cant do it. How did we get to this point and why is everyone in this meeting wearing a hot dog costume?"

Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

I watched cable news... I thought that less than 2% wins = complete mandate... We were told that this constituted a vibe shift and that the left should get with the fascist program.... What's changed? [OK offline again, lol]

Bar graph showing 2024 voter share: Harris 48.3% (blue), Trump 49.8% (red), Other 1.9% (brown). Trump has the largest share.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

"Congressional candidate Amir Hassan, whom President Donald Trump endorsed... trails rival Thomas J. Smith, who suspended his campaign and endorsed another candidate less than three weeks before Election Day." can any Michigan understanders explain this one www.newsweek.com/trump-endors...

Trump-endorsed Michigan candidate loses to rival who stopped campaigning

Thomas J. Smith's lead exceeds the estimated number of remaining ballots, leaving Amir Hassan with no path to victory.

what I'm learning from this billy joel documentary is that when you find yourself in a tricky life situation, you can always get yourself back out of it by writing a legendary pop song

Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad
