I make a sincere effort to never intentionally misgender someone, but we all make mistakes and if you notice me inadvertently misgendering anyone I would appreciate a little grace and the opportunity to correct myself

I would like to remind people that The Odyssey is a work of fiction and thus "historical accuracy" is perhaps a suboptimal way to judge a movie with Scylla and Charybdis in it.
Ever since the first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus was revealed, Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey has faced questions about its historical accuracy. Now, the debut of its trailer has reinvigorated that debate. https://t.co/ww4vRRxNfY

Gosh. If only some widely read political media properties had been willing to call out Trump's disavowals as nonsense. If only.

She doesn't even have long covid, does she? I thought her thing was being intentionally vague so that everyone would project their own personal disabilities onto her. While dismissing anyone's disabilities if they disagreed with her anti-mRNA disinformation.

It was always 100% justified to not believe a single word out of her lying grifter mouth.
After receiving a commendation for exceptional services to the Russian state from President Putin, Biden accuser Tara Reade—seen here in her luxury Moscow condo—has now become a citizen of the Russian Federation... молодец!

Part of the daycare thing is a non-zero number of conservatives don’t think daycare should exist at all.
They think that job should be done by the women of the family, so that women are stuck at home and can’t have a career other than domestic servant.

This part (from the article) might be a good option, too: "Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a 'manual (local) postmark.' This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession."
Anyone dropping off a time-sensitive piece of postage (ballots, legal docs, etc) should start taking a photo of them selves dropping it off (with postage & postal address clearly showing) at a USPS mailbox to use as evidence later.
I don't know if it would count legally but it's worth a shot...

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

On top of how badly Harmeet Dhillon misunderstands basic principles of law, the so-called “weaponization” she’s yammering about isn’t even a prosecutable crime; it’s FNC-speak for the fact that the J6 rioters were prosecuted for their actual crimes.
