uh obviously not the important thing here but did the author try to anonymize the Mass. agent by saying "they" and then forget and start using "he" ?
From the article: "The attorney in the Massachusetts office said that they attend a Baptist church in Massachusetts and is a registered Republican. He said that he does not see how this plan is in line with either American values or Biblical doctrine." maybe they got so thrown by the they...is construction that they just gave up?

Dear Chicago: do you want California's housing stock problems and underfunded schools to boot?
Denise Saddler was president of the Oakland teachers union from 1986 to 1992 and worked as a teacher in the district for years before that. “Prior to Proposition 13 we had a robust music program, we had funded libraries — there was also a city library in every neighborhood that was open all the time and had summer programs,” she says. “There were a lot of after-school programs for kids. There were many more opportunities.” After the proposition passed, school dance and art programs were axed, she says, and so were school-funded field trips. There were at least two teachers’ strikes in Oakland in the ‘80s. Many had imagined the court’s mandate to reduce disparities would raise poor districts up, but Proposition 13 changed the calculation. Spending did begin to level, but it leveled down.

I am a freelancer and I have never felt so seen in my life. It is 100000% exactly like this
An editor replies. They love a pitch! A bread and butter client pings you, they need something soon! It’s big! Another yes comes in, and another. And somehow it happens that all of these yesses are due within the same three week period. They all happen to turn edits around in the same 48 hours, and require your response 48 hours after that. For some reason two of your deadlines are set for a Federal holiday.

normally I only visit my county buildings during the day and the flags aren't very noticeable. So tonight, I discovered to my delight that our county is flying three flags:

USA
California
Trans pride

We're a long way from perfect but this made me very proud of my county
Three flags, left to right: the California state flag with a drawing of a bear on it; the US flag with a white stars on a blue field and red and white stripes; and the trans pride flag with light blue, pink, and white stripes. It's nighttime and there's enough breeze to make the flags fly

An absolutely perfect one-two punch in my timeline
Two skeets: Shiv Ramdas saying "I have read the word "pedo" more times today than in the rest of my life upto this day" followed immediately by Kashana saying "What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month"

someone please show Tim Kaine this
I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason. It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

A mockup of Trump's ballroom interior with a gold border and "let them eat ballroom" in script. I first got the phrase from Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin.

Congratulation, there's no better failure than a foster failure!

This was my first foster failure

excellent. I'm brainstorming treatments now :D
The phrase "let them eat ballroom" in three styles: one like neon lights, one a funky font with a crown-like decorative border, and one in script with a gold border and ballroom mockup background

only partway through but the phrase "likely to engage" really jumped out at me

not "have engaged" or even "suspected to have engaged" just LIKELY
from the document: 25. Processes will be established to provide that foreign students likely to engage in anti-Western, anti-American, or antisemitic disruptions or harassment are not recruited or admitted to UCLA.

a few days ago I received my order from @canarylittle.bsky.social and it's even more perfect than I'd hoped. It came beautifully wrapped and I made a little stand for her (might make a better one later).
back view showing the stand I made, it's just a thick wire with a hook at the top and a small wooden base front view of Button Eye, a doll in a pink dress with pink hair in two ponytails. She has a blue patterned bow, one eye made of matching fabric and one made of a dark red button. She's got small white beads for teeth but two teeth are white fabric. She's holding a doll that looks like her but the dress pattern is different and her hair is a darker shade of pink.
