Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Thinking about yarn caused me to go check a few yarn sales which led to the purchasing of yarn. I may have a yarn addiction. But it was all on sale! And I needed a skein of this and a skein of that to combine with stuff already on hand so really this means I can use more of my stash. Um. Right? 😅

I have been slacking on my 🧶 posts here, but I have been knitting!
I knit three yellow hats in November. I'm now finishing up a yellow cowl - must use up that yarn! I sent two of the hats off as gifts before taking proper photos but this one is the third. The color is true in the hat pic.

it is similar to the trick conservatives are trying to pull with the birthright citizenship clause. take something whose meaning is absolutely clear from just a plain reading of the text and transmogrify it into something that says its opposite through obfuscation and esoterica

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

You know in Europe they riot about this kind of thing.
A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.
Instacart Reportedly Using Secret AI-Powered Dynamic Pricing to Jack Up Prices
In an experiment, investigators found that the same grocery basket at a Seattle store cost between $114 and $124.

Looking for another 25-35 responses from PCOS patients to give this student at least 50 to analyze in their honors research. We've had no luck with physician/provider responses, it may be too tough out there in 2025, but the patient responses are interesting. #MedSky
