Here's a bit of good news, courtesy of those assholes at the SCOTUS.
"The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a Republican push that could have blocked more than 41,000 Arizona voters from casting ballots for president in the state that Democratic President Joe Biden won by less than 11,000 votes four years ago.
But in a 5-4 order, the high court allowed some enforcement of regulations barring people from voting if they don’t provide proof of citizenship when they register."
Ta, Dom. Rebecca and Robyn are radiant, as always, and I recognize a number of Wonketteers whose names I'll not reveal to protect the innocent, although Shypixel's wonderful shirt gives him away. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Our honeymoon started Saturday (we're not counting the sleep at the Maryland hotel; the last time I encountered a bed that hard was in Brasil in 1984) and we could not be more pleased. Our beach cottage is close enough to the ocean to hear and smell the surf, there's a washer and dryer (we brought our own eco laundry soap), the tap water isn't too salty to drink, and although it's strange cooking in a kitchen that contains no herbs or spices, we did bring NM chile and smoked paprika and are about to eat leftover vegan omelette with air fryer home fries, MyBacon (made from mushroom mycelium) and whole grain toast with vegan butter. First breakfast was watermelon.
Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot, avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends like beautiful Treg and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, especially iCU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe.
Oh, right; THAT'S what I forgot to include in my comments from this morning. Last evening at the Wonkparty, Tetman Callis gave a toast in honor of you and Mecca, and your happy wedding.
I'm going to Chicago Labor Day weekend, independent of all this madness, and the group I'm meeting with keeps making threatening noises about Mälort. I'd never heard of it before.
Sorta kinda OT, but these msnbc Chicago correspondents and news-talkers with the little pale-peach mics next to their cheeks look weird. Yeah, I said it: weird!
On white people, it looks like they have some big round growth on their cheeks. On brown skin, it looks like they're wearing a white-people colored round bandaid.
msnbc should gone with black, or maybe some red-white-blue themed thingey. Pale peach just ain't right.

When I read "sausage fest" I thought I was reading something from Joe.My.God.
KITTY! =^.^=
A « sausage party »! Are you trolling JD Vance? Do the sausages come with « special white sauce « in a djizz cup?
Also? I want a SHYPIXEL UNIVERSITY shirt.
SO MAD I didn't go. Those snausages looked amazing.

DOM, you out-did yourself. AGAIN. So much happy, so much warmth, such kitteh!
I love all of you!
from what it seems like, I'll be back in the windy city soon.
Great photos of all you beautiful people. We need someone to take a picture of Dominic.
Enjoy the week, wonkers. I’m glad you got a chance to get together again.

Thank you from both of us.
The NM spices make all the difference! Enjoy the Outer Banks.

Interestingly, every single flavor they used to describe this stuff is something I can't stand.
I don't think I'm a malort kind of a guy. Sorry, Chicago.

Holy Pencil Shavings, Batman!
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!
