My sympathies are going to the family of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman’s family. She, and her husband were assassinated a few months ago and there was no national order to lower flags to half staff.

Working from home has lots of advantages, but there’s a downside no one ever mentions. Unlike my home office, the one at my workplace never smelled like cat farts. That was nice.

I swear straight women will be like “My boyfriend refuses to lift a finger around the house, calls me ugly, and left me by the side of the road when I was 8 months pregnant. I’m a little miffed about that, am I overreacting?”
Ladies, please. Love yourselves, because that man sure as hell won’t.

By this “logic,” all criminal defense attorneys are “aiding and abetting” criminals by doing their job.
1) That’s not how it works.
2) If defending human rights counts as terrorism now, fucking come and get me. Because I will not shut up about how wrong it is to deny ANYONE due process.

This is way low on the list of things wrong with the world, but:
Whenever it’s dark, and I say, “It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue,” no one ever gets the reference and they act like I’m the weirdo.
I mean I am, but that’s not why. Or at least not the main reason.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
