all people should be freed, of course, but the fact that we can't even get the party behind freeing children is so bleak

Some years ago, I was chatting with a Retropolis reader, a young history student, and I mentioned there were several dozen people enslaved in New Jersey up until the day the 13th Amendment kicked in in December 1865.
Y’all. He identified every one of them.

Yes, a legislative subcommittee did today advance a bill sponsored by the governor over my decision to defy the governor's order that we honor C Kirk.

After Nixon was forced to resign, Republicans took the lesson not to stop being corrupt, but to demolish shared reality.
After Romney lost with scant minority support, Republicans took the lesson not to stop being racist, but to demolish democracy.
Once Trump is gone, what lesson will they take?

Wanted to record the dogs slipping & sliding on the (very thick strong) ice.
But of course Karma was on the dog's side, it always is as it should be!
No dogs or humans got hurt in the making of this video, one ego was slightly bruised 😁

Trying to navigate bureaucracy for a deceased spouse and having AI chatbots telling you they are sorry for your loss just hits wrong.

do not say "hello" and wait for a reply before asking what you want to ask. You can do that but then say what you're after within the same message. Because then i will at least check if you're real.
If not, don't angrily email me demanding to know why i blocked you. You behaved like a bot. 🤷♂️

Age verification for a DM.?
My little age is 53
My emotional age is ... Not 53.
It seems like a poor way of dealing with all the rich people assaulting children.

PSA if you’ve DM’d me on Bluesky and I haven’t responded I don’t hate you, I hate the age verification process on this site and it’s locked me out of DMs. You can always reach me via email or, if you’re not a coward, tag me in a public post.

God damn it. This is going to screw up White collar prosecutions and the justice system for fucking two or three generations.
If my math is right 20% of the office has now resigned, including the previous group of resignations. That’s debilitating.
