Oscar watch commencing
My house rules are that for a full watch I have to see all the movies in all categories before the beginning of the Oscar ceremonies, so if the only nomination is for best song I have to watch the whole thing
This year that means 50 movies and I’ve only seen 1

Oh boy do I have a lot of thoughts about this related to some of my friends about a decade older than me with absolutely incredible self imposed dietary restrictions
Having experienced perimenopause with and without HRT has led me to believe that a lot of the stuff doctors tell women is the result of being fat and/or depressed and that women subsequently decide are rare food intolerances are actually miscreant middle-aged ovaries.

I am nervous saying this out loud because it’s not my lane but it makes me extremely uncomfortable to see acquaintances sharing Holocaust Remembrance Day posts back to back with stop appropriating Jewish trauma posts in reference to people comparing ICE to the gestapo

"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

I’m pretty sure they count all points of entry, so that would include any international airports, which is effectively the whole country
fucking hell just remembered, "CBP stays at border" and the way 'border' is defined in this country is this bullshit. awesome work, guys

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.

Also, more broadly, it’s good to watch them panic and shift blame and backpedal. They will still do so much more harm, but they are visibly flailing, and that’s something worth holding onto and using to keep pushing instead of giving in to “Trump has God-like powers” doomerism.

It’s really satisfying to watch Bovino eat shit. I think it’s fine to enjoy seeing bad people get sacked, while also acknowledging that it’s barely a fucking start.
