This entire character was the high-point of this episode for me, and I will not be taking any questions publicly for at least 48 hours for reasons of spoilers, but... *SQUEES OFF AT WARP 47*

I’d rather have nice safe emotions about shows on the entertainment media; having them about things real-life humans said and did just led to stupid decisions.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

@schumer.senate.gov How dumb are you to think, after 20+ years in politics, to think that this weak-ass, nothing burger version of a line in the sand is even remotely enough to go in begging for like a starving orphan?
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Some of us are STILL self-medicating with nicotine.
Child1's GP said there's a perfect correlation between the decline in smoking and the rise in ADHD meds - many people were unknowingly self-medicating with nicotine.
I don't think he was suggesting child1 start smoking, at least I hope not.

At these prices, I don't care if my olive oil is extra virgin. For a discount, I'll take olive oil that sucks dick in the backseat of a car outside of a bar. $10 off olive oil that keeps flunking out of sex addicts anonymous? Sold.

So, my answer: Berlin Wall. We took a field trip that included a trip to the Witte where they had a section of wall on display when I was a child.
Week 1 poll, Intro to IR, Spring 2026:
"What is your first IR/world affairs memory?"
The modal answer so far is..."Election of Donald Trump (2016)." The kids are alright, but they have no frame of reference of "normal politics" at home or abroad anymore.
Also, yes, they're getting music lessons.

I'm currently jealous of a squid....
This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end!
It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:
Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.
To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

And this is part of why I'm suffering. Also, why I turned my AC back on on fucking 1/1
WE DID IT: San Antonio officially reached 89° this afternoon. This breaks the old record of 86° set back in 2006 for this date and TIES the all time highest temperature recorded for the month of January.

ADHD is when you have to “pay attention” but you can’t “pay,” because you’re broke. But, on the plus side, you have a million dollars in gift cards to the one thing you feel like doing.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
