Ok, so let's talk a little bit about how the Romans understand magic and why they think putting phallus-shaped objects (fascina, sing. fascinum) are witch-craft related and how that connects to our word 'fascinate.' 1/
Hmmm: Borrowed from Latin fascinātus (“to enchant, bewitch, fascinate”) [makes sense so far] from fascinum (“a phallus-shaped [lol wut] amulet [wait what] worn around the neck [WHAT THE TARPEIAN FUCK] in Ancient Rome; witchcraft”) ... itself of obscure origin.

Interesting. I was told that both boats that had been struck down were verified to be carrying narcotics and had connections to criminal groups, but we couldn’t see any of the totally real evidence. Surely fishing would be perfectly safe under such conditions?

Florida Reps aren't hiring me as a consultant, but if they did I would tell them:
a) Very soon, there will be schools filled with unvaccinated kids.
b) A lot of those kids are going to get sick like it's 1935. Many will die.
c) You will be blamed for it.
d) Democrats will campaign on your failure.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

With alt text. This is absolutely judicial speak for “get your shit together, SCOTUS”.
![The Court is mindful of Justice Gorsuch's comments in his opinion in APHA and fully agrees that this Court is not free to "defy" Supreme Court decisions and is, in fact, "duty-bound to respect 'the hierarchy of the federal court system.'" APHA, 2025 WL 2415669, at *3 (Gorsuch,
J., concurring in part and dissenting in part) (citation omitted). Consistent with these obligations, this Court (and likely all district courts) endeavors to follow the Supreme Court's rulings, "no matter how misguided [it] may think [them] to be." Hutto v. Davis, 454 U.S. 370, 375 (1982) (per curiam). That said, the Supreme Court's recent emergency docket rulings regarding grant terminations have not been models of clarity, and have left many issues unresolved. California was a four-paragraph per curiam decision issued in the context of a stay application. It cited Bowen as good law, stated that the Tucker Act gave the Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction over contract claims against the federal government, and then stated that the district court likely](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qperocfvfqtoco3v276h55lx/bafkreici4baymxfjqgwxmkc5lfa5qppmsz2puktqlajwf7bauymh3belvm@jpeg)
![lacked jurisdiction "to order the payment of money under the APA," without purporting to explain how the case was distinguishable from Bowen or other related, longstanding precedents.
California, 145 S. Ct. at 968. Then, in APHA, four justices thought grant-termination cases belong, in full, in the Court of Federal Claims, and four justices thought they belong, in full, in federal district court, and the decision was controlled by the vote of a single justice. 2025 WL 2415669, at *1-16. The outcome, which no party had requested, was, thus, inconsistent with the views of eight justices, id. at *16 (Jackson, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part), and, again, provided little explanation as to how Bowen, which the controlling concurrence again cited as good law, id. at *2, applied or was distinguishable. This Court understands, of course, that the Supreme Court, like the district courts, is trying to resolve these issues quickly, often on an emergency basis, and that the issues are complex and evolving. See Trump v. CASA, Inc.,
145 S. Ct. 2540, 2567 (2025) (Kavanaugh, J., concurring) ("In justiciable cases, this Court, not the district courts or courts of appeals, will often still be the ultimate decisionmaker as to the interim legal status of major new federal statutes and executive actions."). Given this, however, the Court respectfully submits that it is unhelpful and unnecessary to criticize district courts for
"defy[ing]" the Supreme Court when they are working to find the right answer in a rapidly evolving doctrinal landscape, where they must grapple with both existing precedent and interim guidance from the Supreme Court that appears to set that precedent aside without much explanation or consensus.

Also, companies and committees have become tools for diffusing administrative responsibility. They permit abusive behaviour to be perpetrated via a proxy that immunizes those responsible from accountability and punishment. That needs to be fixed.

Thread; reminds me of this year's Budapest Pride being called "thousands" even in nominally left-wing English-language media, with multiple hundred thousand people present - as far as I could determine, possibly the biggest protest in Hungarian history ever. But, trans flags so it doesn't count?
The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.
In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.
Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
