The Dudek dude got bounced from Social Security yesterday, not long after you wrote this.

Excellent article. The only quibble is the title: I suspect the shitstained orange toddler's ass lacks any hair at all, and is in fact closer to quivering spoilt jello.

Huzzah! I knew he'd failed in the first round of horse-trading for the seat.

And then had more votes than needed the second time. No idea what was going on there.

The vote count in the first round didn't add up to the total number of seats...sounded like there were a bunch of absences maybe?

Making a point in the first round, before sealing the deal in the second?

Public media ready to fight ‘unlawful’ Trump order defunding PBS, NPR

Legal scholars say the executive order may exceed presidential authority and violate First Amendment, while local stations fear impact on communities.

Well, if the SC didn't find deporting a man by mistake without due process excessive, I doubt they are going to go for this.

The Guardian has a piece on how AI is better than people in every way, and cites as one example that people are already having 'romantic relationships' with AI. That because people are broken, not because AI is great, you idiot.

Fog of Jen's avatar

We had hand me down toys to go with our hand me down everything else. So as kids, me and my brothers, who were the youngest, played with dolls, plushies, legos, balls, GI Joe, heman, the tonka trucks (2 of those! Posh!) etc etc etc oft at the same time.

I mean, we all did get a toy or two for the war on christmas, but very few of them were really our personal property XD I had one doll that was, cause she had darker hair and a tan (Pretty sure she was Mexican barbie, but the rents were trying to find one that looked like me, so kudos for them) and my one brother had his polar bear plush, but everything else was pretty share and share a like.

Course that changed once we hit the electronics age. Back then it was like walkmans and such

I ran the preschool consignment sale so all my kids' toys were second-hand. They didn't like dolls, but they def. had over 30 plastic animals. And a great GI Joe command tower to house them, missing all the stickers and little bits. It was like fallout meets planet of the frogs. Good times.

May 7Edited

Today is a 'professional development' day. Most of these are, unfortunately, a waste of time. And the morning session today has the same agenda as the last PD day, so my expectations are low.

I have more alarms than I normally need. The first one goes off at 6 A.M., and is almost always enough to get me out of bed. If I hit snooze on that, it goes off again at 6:10. If I turn that off and go to sleep, another alarm goes off at 6:20. I almost never need that last one.

But since today starts at 8 instead of 7, I said fuck it and went back to sleep at 6:10. And then found myself wondering, in the shower, if I'd really gotten out of bed right at 6:20, or if I'd gone back to sleep and then to the shower without looking at my phone again. There were a few minutes there where I genuinely had no idea what time it was. That's an odd feeling, but not an entirely unpleasant one.

I just had a horrible mental image based on a scene from 'Spaceballs;' the one where Dark Helmet's playing with some action figures. The image had The Homunculus acting out a love scene between action figures of him and Pooty.

🧵Trump’s DHS is preparing to deport migrants to Libya—a war-torn nation the U.S. State Department warns Americans to avoid due to terrorism, land mines, & kidnapping.

They plan to use a military plane to send human beings into hell.

This is cruel trafficking.
