Time for my hobby horse again: it’s so weird and fucked up that the man exercising the powers of the American presidency has absolutely no knowledge of or attachment to American culture at any level.
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

"Left vulnerable to exploitation" is phrasing that completely places blame on the homeless parent. It renders the sexual assault an unfortunate inevitability of her parents' failings. This is not a "sex for money" arrangement. Matt Gaetz raped a child. The scandal is that HE raped a CHILD.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I wonder if any future historians who write about this moment in time, will make a note of Trump being savagely booed by tens of thousands of people literally at the same time that 8 Democrats bent the knee.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

I recently did the assessments for autism and I got the results today.
I'm not entirely surprised that I *am* autistic, but I am kind of surprised that I met every diagnostic criteria under restricted and repetitive behaviors. 😅

The stupidest thing I've ever done is think that I am smart.
Anyway, this is fine. Everything is fine.
Don't send help. I'm a strong, independent woman, and I can totally figure this out. And I'm totally not going to rage cry.

Today's mass shooting is at a restaurant where I took my family for my university graduation dinner.
I went to the university in the neighboring city for both undergrad and my masters. I own a home in the town up the highway.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

After 22+ years, my expectations of the Raiders are so low that I am completely unbothered that they're beginning the season like this.
Why would I let a team that I decided to like as a child ruin any more of my Sundays over this stupid sport? Football is dumb anyway. 🥲
