I get 100% cotton* fabric (like old sheets), cut/rip into fairly wide long strips, then braid & knot 3 into "ropes." Cheaper. Lasts longer. Repairable. Chosen first when offered a choice, so now that's all we do. *If any of it's gonna get eaten I'd rather it not be synthetic. Easy to wash too.

Searching on "didn't like the cut of my jib" just to see what would come up got a wikiquotes for the movie Clerks. Which is fun. But I can't for the life of me figure out why Clerks.

Having been to a flea market for the first time in years today, I'm now convinced it provides the same kind of distracting dopamine drip as social media scrolling, and was providing a similar fix before any of us was born.
A cool thing about my new job at Habitat for Humanity is seeing the donations that come in. I’ve always been a fan of Robert Bateman’s wildlife art. If you’ve never seen it look up Robert Bateman’s Chief. It is hanging in the National Wildlife Art Museum in Jackson Wyoming. We got this today.

Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which she’ll help oversee election security.
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
👇🎯 It has been said, once or twice before, that performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org

![Polyorchidism has many forms; Triorchidism (three testes) is the most common type. Bilateral double testis (4 testes) is a rare type [1].

UPDATE: In its latest status report, DOJ says that three of the five migrant children discussed in his previous status report have now been returned to ORR custody. Drew Ensign says that he'll file another status report tomorrow when the two remaining children are in ORR custody.

Having lived through a decade of harrowing events as a child, I'll say it's *good* to imagine the day you'll move beyond the reach of a cruel person—even if that moment won't fix everything. They want to convince you of your powerlessness, but that's not how this story ends.

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
NEW: Judge Sooknanan now orders the govt to explain why it has failed to meet her 4 p.m. ET deadline to give a status update on the Guatemalan children who are supposed to be removed from planes and returned to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody.
NEW: DOJ says the Guatemalan children have been removed from the planes and are "in the process" of being returned to custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I really think sleazy should be spelled sleezy. Doesn't sleezy seem just a bit sleezier? Like, Guiliani isn't just sleazy. He's sleezier.

So, um, if a roll of strapping tape goes through the wash with a load of laundry, will it still work & be sticky if I, er, someone lets it dry out? It's kind of soft & squooshy right now. @saltymactavish.bsky.social, do you know?
Oh, I'm sure I have one. Let me check...
What? Sorry, I wasn't listening. (He lays his French accent on thick.)
I didn't have to. I heard it in my mind.
Oh, I know. In general, if a peasant (the rest of us) doesn't have enough labor or other value for the rich to extract, the rich are eager to "cut costs." But this is "r@pe & destroy a civilization" level of sleaze. Just evil. And no shame. Not even bothering to hide their evil plans.
It’s now routine for the DOJ’s psychopathic lawyers to outright lie to judges in order to harm children.
This is lying on a level that’s simply delusional. It’s so weird and disturbing to see government officials sucking up to that disgusting toad in the White House like sycophantic courtiers.

The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

From the end, where Burgum waxes eloquent about how much "fun" US Park Police are having: "fun really is the name of the game for Trump and his administration. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence and/or deportation; it’s fun to flood the trains
Thread: These people are having fun, per their own statements. Remember that for the trials.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly trying—imminently—to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
“The times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing senators.” - US Constitution, Art. 4.1
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Still surprises me how so many people still are searching for ways to explain what RFK Jr is doing: He’s well-intentioned but dumb, he genuinely believes what he says, etc. I’m sorry reality is so upsetting, but RFK Jr is just a psychopath who thinks millions of “lesser” people should die.
