as usual this did not work, nor did "do something you want to do only slightly less than you don't want to do the thing", but "take your ADHD meds and finish the five-minute task you've been procrastinating on all day" remains undefeated as a tactic
Unsurprisingly, procrastinating all day has not made the thing I need to do spontaneously resolve itself. Maybe if I procrastinate another half hour it will?

“If it goes away when you take your meds it’s probably not a character flaw” is something I have to tell myself often.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

“But you can bounce lasers off of mirrors the Apollo astronauts put on the moon yourself!”
I mean; ok, pretty good, but have you tried, “Yeah, the government /did/ lie about the moon landings…for example, every time an Apollo astronaut said ‘sunofabitch’ the official transcripts read ‘garbled’.”

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter).
It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence.
Film the cops if you see them.

I've been thinking a lot about @bretdevereaux.bsky.social's discussion of how a lot of Late Roman Republic attempts at reform involved codifying previously de facto political norms; which failed to help because it was the loss of the underlying social fabric that mattered, not the letter of the law.
see the control on pardons is supposed to be "if the president blatantly pardons a criminal ally, he gets impeached"
all of this comes back to the failure of the Republican Party and Congress to have even a modicum of public decency.
