For those that have known (and forgotten, or barely remembered) I present #JudgyCat as my MFA token ((something I have, or that has me at any rate).
To quote a friend:

“Thinking about it, I find it wild that the most unifying thing so far in 2025 has been...A CEO getting caught cheating with the HR chick on the jumobtron at a concert.”
I have a special set of skills. Skills that can make me a nightmare for people like you.

If you let my treats go now, that will be the end of it. I will not pursue you (unless I get hungry again). But if you do not, I will find you.

And I will judge you. #JudgyCat #CatsOfBlueSky

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems
You already know the answer Senator, and your position allows you power to do far more about this than us.

Have you considered you might have additional options here within your cadre of other Senators?
Ask him what childhood vaccines he received.

I guarantee he has them; if they’re helpful, why does he wish to deny them to others? If they’re harmful, how can he be competent in office having received them?

He’s either a liar, or incompetent. Force him to admit one then impeach with it.
When you (who aced all of your writing courses in school) send the draft of a memo for required vetting by management, and they use AI to do the job and provide new drafts which comes out worse.

I’m sure there’s a Banana Republic joke in here somewhere, but this is all too exhausting.
Me, next to a technician older than myself asking me a question for the third time today.

It never ceases to amaze me how many IT professionals can’t UTFG. *sigh*

A short-term escape is better than no escape at all.
No, it’s just Musk is temporarily off his ketamine.

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.
Sounds like they should rename the team to Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Wouldn’t know. Life $*@!s me several times a week.
If I believed he was truly Catholic…
Jesus Christ modeled servanthood and told his disciples to do the same. I don’t think Vance can fathom faith or truth -he’s too good at self-service and self-deception.
So, who gets punished for this?

I’m in your camp; but until judgements go beyond civil ones that a county’s insurance pays for, what stops it from repeating again and again?

How can their budget be hurt or can they face criminal prosecution? There needs to be accountability and consequences.
Well, up until this moment no, but…
Explained in pictures.
So, you’re saying people would actually rather cut off their nose to spite their face by choosing fascism over choosing imperfect?

If so, people are either far more stupid, or far more masochistic than I imagined; or the answer is both.
Agreed. Justice means voluntarily paying for the harm one caused, making a deliberate choice to submit to punishment, and using the remainder of life to repent.

Today is officially Day 1 of year 30 in IT. I remember how much I loved doing this.

I shall persevere; but it has changed.

People who are immigrants deserve to be treated with compassion and humanity.
Some might say that that itself -is- its Mother’s Day present.
