Reposting because anyone interested in what's happening needs to follow every good legal reporter out there. Geidner's first rate. I subscribe. There are others worth following/subscribing to, as well. Starting with Geidner is an excellent way to get into this.
Seriously, subscribe to Law Dork. I can't do everything the big publications can do, but at least I'll never do this.

(And, this weekend, you can get a paid subscription for 15% off for a year: $51 for the year or $5.10 a month!) www.lawdork.com/blackfriday

I'm firing up the Weber for a rotisserie. Sage rub.
Due to a developed chicken allergy in the family my house has been eating a LOT of ground turkey this year and frankly the whole anti-turkey discourse on here suggests y’all don’t know how to cook worth a damn.

It made the mistake of mentioning rotisserie turkey so I guess that's why I'm doing this year.

It's been ages since I've done anything T-Day so it should be fun.

Today's progress on reviving the 3d printer was mixed. Firmware is compiling (not sure I have the right display tho) and most of the wiring (though I want ferrules for the high current stuff) so with any luck I'll be back to several days ago where I can at least power it on and get basic movement

The day was going great until the USB plug broke off in the printer motherboard connector. I guess tomorrow we get to sort out the wiring on the new board (new rev so of course it's different). Le sigh

after a long hiatus I'm working on the 3D printer again* (swapped to Microswiss extruder and up to date FW) and I finally have it homing properly. Next up is sporting all the mechanical dimensions. At this rate I'll be printing by December

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation
