My body is a temple. It has awakened after 100 years dormant under the ice of Antarctica, and the xenomorphs and the Yautja are about to have a hoedown.

Noting in the final section that Kavanaugh went out of his way to disclaim "Kavanaugh stops." In other words, the repeated, pointed and personalized criticism has gotten to him
ICYMI: The full Law Dork report on Tuesday’s big SCOTUS decision against the Trump administration in its effort to send troops into American cities.
Supreme Court, on a 6-3 vote, rejects Trump's effort to deploy National Guard in Illinois for now
More than two months after DOJ asked for "immediate" relief, the Supreme Court said no on Tuesday. Also: A Kavanaugh note on Kavanaugh stops.

When I saw ads for this fight before it happened, my main reaction was "Why do these people have nothing but first names?!?"

someone help I tried to see if I could expand on sfwa's nonsense rule #2 about "process" in a way that would give adequate guidance across prose, poetry, games, comics, film, tv, and plays without stressing writers or administrators into an early grave

A Santa Monica councilmember ran and won on a pro-housing platform, but is now being told by state regulators that he's not allowed to vote on housing issues because he works for a pro-housing advocacy organization. Plainly not the intent of conflict of interest law.

This is a hit job. The "conflict of interest" is that Jesse's day job aligns with the values that got him elected.
In Santa Monica, the FPPC has disqualified pro-housing Councilmember Jesse Zwick from all future housing votes. They said that because he works for a housing non-profit, he’s “conflicted” and must recuse.
Pretty absurd. The NIMBY deep state strikes again.

My parents both worked min wage jobs at a burger joint in the 70s and could *buy a house.*
Every time I'm reminded of just how bad actual min wage has gotten - it hasn't been tied to cost of living since late 60s - I think about what a useless concept it is anymore.

I would encourage people to petition for the USA to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
AND for Canada to promote it more.
In it, the convention highlights very strongly that children have multiple individual rights and parents have responsibilities.

Yep. As soon as we reach a critical mass of adults believing with their whole selves that children are people, we're going to have to change everything, and lots of people would rather have property than harmony.
I know this is something I circle back to a lot, but it honestly feels, to me, like half the attacks on our trans siblings roots back to "children aren't people." The doctor said "boy," so I get to be the parent of a boy child! Not a girl child! How dare my child want things I don't want?!

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

In 1988 Umberto Eco wrote Foucault's Pendulum.
The plot is: a bunch of guys working at a self-publisher house, for fun, take their huge crackpot and crank slush pile and jam it all together using a simple markov chain program written in BASIC.
They create a Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory.
