If anyone says nothing can be done, remind them that legislators made a new federal law to expand the distance making it a crime to protest against SCOTUS members within literal hours.

All because Roberts got rightfully yelled at while eating dinner.

They shouldn’t exist peacefully in public.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

"Nobody will do that though." Oh I guess there's nothing to be done, then. Very convenient if what you'd like is to avoid having to do anything.

I've noticed "we're cooked, it's over" is often the call of the person whose strategy is to hope they will not be in the oven.

I'd start by pressuring elected officials to stop recognizing the authority of the court. Supporting officials who promise to fix it once in power and to refuse to recognize any of its rulings since at least 2015 as valid. And investigate, charge, prosecute, and convict its extremist members.

"OK but what is your PLAN?" Bish I am sitting at the back of this plane. I'm just willing to point out that the driver is gargling everclear and flying directly at the ground while reading a book titled HOW TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO THE GROUND.

What is MY plan? What is OUR plan? You're here too.

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Ugh. Now their catchphrases are being corrupted in my head.

“Could we *BE* any more pedo-riffic?”

“Donny doesn’t share kids!”

“Oh my god, they were roommates on the island!”

Even Hitler had to tell our own racists to dial it back.

And white people- wash your fucking legs & feet.

(I don’t think this next part will apply to any men who follows you, Kendra. Or, I hope not!)

Men especially: SIT DOWN to wipe your butts AND/OR use a bidet / detachable shower head, and change your gawddam undies.

You’re not gay for being clean.

Mikey Alexander 𓅃 The Riot Dog of South Florida @mikeyalexander.bsky.social · 22h

The same goes for anyone who wants to wear scented perfume or body washes & sprays. You still have to be able to balance that for everyone else, no matter how much you love Obsession, Axe, or Jean Naté.

Have a care for people with disabilities, sensitivities, and your own pets.

There were times as a zookeeper when I could smell perfume from the walkway to the far side of a paddock, some 200’ away. I would have gotten a migraine standing next to them.

Some people might not need to bathe every day, but there is still a point they *must* consider others in their environment.

Mikey Alexander 𓅃 The Riot Dog of South Florida @mikeyalexander.bsky.social · 22h

Dogs can smell the hormonal shifts of pregnancy, seizures or even just getting ready to stand up & take them for a walk. It’s not fair to them (or any animal, pet or zoo) to douse yourself in heavily perfumed soaps or body sprays.

Mikey Alexander 𓅃 The Riot Dog of South Florida @mikeyalexander.bsky.social · 22h

This whole subject gets under my skin bcz I work in animal care. I’m not only aware of smells & disease vectors, but I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum. I have to shower daily when working, plus I live in SFL. But I also need to limit my artificial scents to not stress out the animals I care for.

I love Hollywood, but I don’t care if you’re the star or writer of my favorite film or TV show. I’ll be tactful about it, but your millions of dollars & adoring fans don’t absolve you of any responsibility to hygiene.

Mikey Alexander 𓅃 The Riot Dog of South Florida @mikeyalexander.bsky.social · 22h

There’s also the various articles every so often about celebrities who rarely bathe, nor don’t make their kids bathe. I don’t know how much is them thinking they’re crunchy granola types, or their personal staff / producers, directors, & set crew being afraid to tank a movie if they get pissed off.

I work in animal care, so I’m not just aware of odors, but extremely aware of transmission vectors (door handles, railings, respiratory proximity, etc).

A coworker, like Kegsbreath, refuses to wash his hands. I rush to leave the bathroom before he does so I don’t have to touch his junk germs.

I work for a dog shelter, so this is really hilarious to me.

And even though it’s super hot & humid in South Florida, my shelter dogs rarely ever do a credit check on me.

Dogs living at home? Definitely, even when I’m freshly showered. I suspect it’s bcz owned dogs don’t ever meet many people.

I’ve like Margaret Qualley since I first saw her in Once Upon a Time, but now I need to see her costar with Kathryn Newton.

I don’t care if they’re BFFs taking down a bully/corporation/supervillain/monster/tricked into mutual antagonism/criminals, but I suspect they would have excellent chemistry.

So, tell us: was this message conveyed to all of their social media accounts? Or only as a press statement?

You’re completely missing the point, that eyewitness video & other news outlets should never be the sole source of information about a media company’s own staff member for multiple hours.

That’s great for her, but too bad @wgntv.com can’t be bothered to comment on the situation.

Time for the Peacemaker season two finale!

Image: a collection of action figures from the McFarlane DC Comics line, showing the Season One finale scene of Peacemaker, where he confronts the Justice Gang for being late to help him and the 11th Street Kids save Earth from an an alien invasion.

Peacemaker’s back is to the camera, facing (from left to right) Mr. Terrific, Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkwoman, and Supergirl.

There’s a defunct toy line called Stikfas that I would want to print figures for.
But I haven’t had the motivation for the kind of painting I did to make the superheroes I like for a while now.

McFarlane now makes obscure characters, and STLs for custom heads exist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stikfas

If the spindles come from overseas, it’s gonna be a huge fight to balance the cost of printing your own X, Y, or Z against the rising prices of the materials you print with.
