It was so much easier to maintain proper tension on 3-strand colorwork for the sleeve compared to the yoke. Is it because it was a smaller circumference or because now I have more practice? I used the 14in DPNs on both of them so it's not that...

I'm back to normal DPNs on sleeve #1. It's been so long that now it feels weird to use something so tiny. The 14 and 18 inch ones were easier on my neck.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (after our mutual friend pulled it out of my funeral pyre when it refused to burn), but the very next day you kept it in your desk drawer wrapped in verses of my poetry.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day you took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber and deposited it between the scantlings. You then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye—not even mine—could have detected anything wrong.
Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it back again because you found you were miserable and that the place & fortune which would certainly have been mine could not alter the man (😞) and I suppose the name Harris Bigg-Wither didn't help matters either

Did six more rows of stockinette and then blitzed through the first 13 rows of the sleeve chart in one night.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Separating TCM from the library acquired to program it (and other Turner nets) is worrisome, because TCM itself owns no films.
A creative/licensing relationship may remain w/ Warner Bros., as was the plan when the WBD split was announced, but even that won't provide a longterm path forward. #WBD

I just heard from someone at Netflix. TCM is apparently going with the other linear networks to Discovery Global.
Here is the official comment on what WBD assets will be acquired by Netflix:
"We are acquiring the film and television studios, HBO and HBO Max."

This is exactly what happened with the SC-01 decision as well. Such bologna.
To be fair, the justices are not technically wrong that the standard here, which the district court reviewed, was that if the gerrymandering was for partisan reasons, it's legal. It's only illegal if it was for race. But that allows the justices to just out & out say "THIS IS FOR PARTISAN REASONS!"
“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”

14 more rows until I can start on the sleeve color work chart. I feel like it's taken me a thousand years to do literally this one sleeve.
Also I was spoiled by my first ever sweater being a "knit plain until work measures 10 inches" type pattern. Having to count rows is very tedious.

It is very notable that the memorandum does not cite any specific provision of law or regulation which would authorize an indefinite suspension until the USCIS Director says adjudications can continue.
My brain no longer functions b/c of all this b.s. but isn’t there some process they need to go through before proclaiming this sh*t? Not that it matters with this regime. I’m tired of being governed by memos, EOs, tweets, and Truth Social posts.
