Why am I getting promotional email saying "Black Friday is almost over" on a Tuesday. Is it a whole season now? Is it a season that doesn't go all the way until Friday?

Oh my GOD I don't want the lie machine in my fucking taxes.
Am I going to have to do everything on paper this year?? Seriously? Or is there going to be a pay-more-for-no-AI tier? Wishing everyone who thought of this as many days of unemployment as people's time they're about to waste.

No, absolutely not, you did the thing, the thing has been done.

I had a moment of "wait, have I??" and then was like, oh yeah, there were those times adult strangers exposed their genitals at me when I was a teen/pre-teen, pretty sure that's something. Possibly some of us are just not very good at searching our own memories. :/
Every so often I encounter a grown woman who's convinced she's never experienced any sexual harassment at all and I have to wonder what her standards are like. There are certainly women who've never been assaulted, but never sexually harassed? At ALL??? Big if true!

I was so hopeful for years that there would be a technology in my lifetime that could recognize faces and tell me a name and context. It would make such a difference and instead we've gotten this crap. :(

Halloween scare: my kid read "The Raven" for school so I showed him the Simpsons clip and then realized I was younger than he is now when it aired 😱

1. Fenway Health shamefully dropped trans youth to save LGB cisgender people—a calculation based on fear and willingness to become agents of this administration.
I issue my call for Fenway to return to its roots and care for those the government casts aside.

I didn't know I cared about the White House as a building at all but the demolition photos give me the queasy feeling of the Notre Dame fire or defaced Buddhas and I have the song stuck in my head that I associate with my house fire, so, uh, I guess there's some emotional something there. :(

Puberty delay should be universally available to kids under 14 who want a couple more years before they have to deal with it.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.
It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.
Community members are devastated.

I know we're all down on libertarians now* but I was a teen libertarian and it seemed obvious that "sex change" (as I'd have said at the time) was one of those things that people might do that wasn't anybody else's business.
*Me too, way to fail to object to actual authoritarianism, guys. :(

Today I learned that Seek does not save your observation if it only got to genus rather than species, so if I wanted to look up what broader taxonomic category that long Latin word was even *in*, I'm out of luck if I can't remember it. (I would guess it was either a fungus or a slime mold.)

Music recs for when you are mentally desperate for silence but need to drown out voices/other sounds? Everything I try is awful but I'm too tired to go out for a walk and I don't cope well with white noise.

My jaw dropped. Has anyone seen his old dad Bobby, damn.
Funniest possible person to say nothing bad happened when he was a kid as a result of everyone having guns
RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.
