I consider Joe Biden a devil.
I like to garden, sew, cook, write, & play video games. Still masked up. Mom to grown children, and caregiver to my mom & sister.
Zone 5a Illinois.
Gardening is political. Hobbies are political.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

pretty clear a big part of the mainstream media-led backlash to #metoo is the number of people in media who take advantage of and abuse others.
they made it seem like it's about fairness, but they just didn't want to face any real consequences for their behavior.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

The concept of whiteness as "deputized" (h/t W.E.B. DuBois) is important for understanding the current moment.
The story of a college student calling ICE on service workers is not an aberration.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

At risk of stating the obvious, the "economics mentor" highlight distracts from what he immediately says next.
He is going to "cut off contact."
Which is to say he is withdrawing professional support because she declined to fuck him.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Posting ghost jobs should be illegal. If companies do this to harvest consumer data or create the appearance that they are “always hiring” to appease investors, how is this just not fraud? Is there a meaningful legislative remedy for this?

Thinking on social science, humanities, & space: Reading Babylon's Ashes (expanse book 6) and y'know it is truly wild of some people to think they'd survive in a space exploration situation when they won't even do the bare minimum to protect themselves & others here on earth. Just… astounding stuff…
You know how in SFF shows about The Future™ they always have shit like 10 year olds doing linear algebra or whatever? I want to see that but for them reading advanced social science and humanities texts.
