Store window I noticed on the way home. Someone needs to write this post-apocalyptic Christmas story.

I keep thinking about the stele on the left. The little girl and her doll and her little floofer of a dog. Someone loved them very much.
Maltese dogs were a tiny breed of ancient lapdog known from ancient texts, vases, statues, gems, and tombstones. In Greek they were nicknamed nanoudion (little dwarf) and had a squeaky bark
They are often shown with children, like Melisto below

This whole thread, quite a fascinating read
Let's talk about peeing in space.
Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space.

To Make It to the Moon, Women Have to Escape Earth’s Gender Bias (Published 2019)
The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. But NASA can learn from its failures as it aims to send women to the moon and beyond.

Men’s pants: Your waist is 30 inches, therefore you are a size 30.
Women’s pants: Your waist is bad inches, you have wide hips, a small butt, short legs, a prehensile tail, and we don’t like your face. Therefore you are a size whatever the fuck we want, but only at this store.

There is a special curse for SF writers. Not ‘interesting times’ but ‘may you live to see the future you wrote about.’

They're not going to let us do anything good, so the only thing I want from democrats right now is for them to make it AS HARD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE for the right to do anything bad.
When they go low, we go down the witches road. 😂

in 2026, if senate dems do their job, voters should be looking at a government that has done absolutely fuck all over the last two years, one that fights about the color of the drapes in the cloakroom and whose members absolutely despise each other and can't even agree on a breakfast order
“Stop government from doing anything and run on ‘do-nothing government’” was holy sainted Bob Dole’s winning strategy in 1993-4. The trade press will scream about it coming from Democrats (Murc’s Law) but deliberate dysfunction doesn’t make it down to low-attention voters.
