This week Lindsay & @wfreeman2112.bsky.social go back to our childhood trauma with a Double of All Dogs Go to Heaven & Return to Oz. Kids Movies from the 1980s did a lot of things, giving you a warm hug was not one of them

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

We’re gonna reach a point where the right are gonna start trying to justify child grooming and pedophilia as a Good Thing, Actually. It’s gonna happen, isn’t it?
I’m not talking about the creepy innuendo we’ve seen before. It’ll be full-throated “what’s wrong with a pedo island anyway?” shit.

Republicans just had a press conference showing photos of ICE arrests of "pedophiles, drug traffickers, murderers," and Democrats should do the same thing but with pictures of ICE agents who committed the same crimes.
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

A sense of betrayal is a very tricky kind of grief to manage, because you're grieving someone who never really existed.
I've always held a pretty dim view of the US establishment & its institutions. After Trump's reelection and the Epstein files, though... I realize that even so, I feel betrayed.

For the record, Oren Cass is simply not an economist. He does not have the training. He has never practiced. “Chief Economist” is a deliberately deceptive title.

New MN state motto: "If you saw something, no you didn't."
How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.

We really do need to rebuild the capacity to meet strangers in public places, and stuff like this ruins it for everyone.
Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.
