And hey, I know the bar that coaster is from! 🥰💖

I understand the original Mystic Pizza in Mystic, CT, which inspired the movie _Mystic Pizza_, owns a trademark on it and vigorously enforces it. A place around the corner from where I lived in San Francisco had to change to Mythic Pizza because of that.

Also, my usual "I'm not hitting 'Like'/🧡 on your replies because I *don't* like what they're talking about... but I do agree with what you're saying."

Yeah. No lie detected.

And, FTR, I wasn't surprised at the mere fact of them reducing the fines; I was simultaneously trying to call attention to it, and honestly somewhat surprised that they *admitted* it. The blatancy is a little unusual.

WTF is with "they do this a whole lot, so _reduce_ the fine"‽ We all know if it were you or me, the DA would be saying, "He does this all the time, so we're seeking the maximum penalty. Also, maybe we can find additional charges to bring..."

"One law for us, another for them" is not justice.

Or, as we call them around these here parts, "fascist scum".

I've made a small list I call "Friends", and it's just the people I actually know*, not my whole follow list, and I check it once a day, and even that is A Lot.

* one can "know" people and call them friends w/o ever having met F2F; e.g., you're on this list of mine

Yam seng, kopeng! 🥂

Thanks, done!

That's wonderful! 😍

"I didn't quote those bits" is not the excuse you seem to think it is. Holy fuck, this is awful.

Seriously, couldn't you find any non-pro-slavery queer poets to quote?

Glad to hear youse are safe, and I hope it stays that way!
