It's the same sort of ethos of a certain sort of trial lawyer that thinks that document review & eDiscovery that others (often women) do to make their performance possible is beneath them, and being good at it is not a valid partnership qualification.
Pete Hegseth thinks push ups are the most important part of fighting a war! He told us logistics are for losers!

Just sent this to the pastor of the church I left during the first Trump administration for being wishy washy "pray for unity and discernment" bs.

This is the first snow/ice event in at least 25 years without a dog or a child of "let's play in the snow" age. We may not leave the house except to get firewood off the back porch or take out the trash for 3 days.

I love cheese but I don't want a soggy wet burger. Am I weird? (Not that I would be going to Applebees anyway)

Reading a new non-fiction book about the never-caught serial jewel thief that preyed on ultra-rich socialites' homes in the Preston Hollow, HP, & UP neighborhood in Dallas from the mid 50s to 1970. Lots of interesting hidden history of the city and its wealthy residents. Book is King of Diamonds.

As a life long Chiefs fan, I cannot explain why I never developed a hatred for the Broncos like I did for the Raiders. I always kind of liked them. I'm rooting for an old AFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Lord, I've seen what you've done for others... there's some here a little further north that need your lightning bolts.
Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.
🚨⚡ Um raio atingiu bolsonaristas em Brasília nesta tarde. Eles estavam aguardando Nikolas Ferreira no Memorial JK para um protesto pela soltura de Bolsonaro quando um raio atingiu a praça. Três bolsonaristas foram para o hospital.

the hours since i was last at my computer have seen a lot more congressperson-direct-to-camera social media videos re: ICE, and most of them unsurprisingly are not nearly as good

IRAQ WAR VETERAN: “I wouldn’t do that in a war. There are no rules of engagement I’ve ever had that would justify shooting someone in that situation… and he shot an American citizen. This should scare the shit out of everyone.”

Tonight, my Minneapolis neighborhood gathered on street corners and in our local park to mourn Alex Pretti.
This is our FOURTH vigil in eight months. No community should have to go through what we're going through.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Everything is shut down in icy Dallas. All activities on SMU's campus are cancelled--except 1. Our priorities are atraight so we're here for ACC 🏀 against FSU. Marketing has their shit together, giving out SMU ski goggles to students. And I brought a student with me.

Between all this [gestures], & a kid being killed by a friend playing with a gun in the parking lot across from my kids' school yesterday, I'm feeling very weepy today. But the images of clergy in the freezing cold getting arrested to protest ICE deportations are pushing me over the edge.
Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE.
They gathered to demand airlines to cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.
