I restarted my router and kept doing the setup process over and over and over again. It failed several more times. And then randomly worked? I don't fucking know anymore. I hate technology. Especially printers. Printers can burn in the fiery depths of Hell.
Unless I can somehow beat this printer into reconnecting to the wifi it's stopped recognizing for no reason (I have tried every bit of troubleshooting - none of it has worked), I am never buying another HP product again. Dad got me this one just over a year ago as a gift. And. Yeah.

This leaves in place a preliminary injunction barring the Youngkin appointees from serving

The Virginia Supreme Court did not reach merits of the matter

The Court tends to be restrained in such a situation and wait for a final resolution before further ruling

I knew this would happen, and I don’t fucking know what to vote for.

Silksong is my current background music, but it’s on rotation with Hades II and E33. So.

I’ll be happy, regardless, for a lot of the winners, I think.

It’s not “retaliation.” It’s meeting your minimum ethical requirements to hold a law license. Either we deserve to be a self-regulating and policing profession, or we don’t.

Oathbreakers can get fucked.
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.

There are currently 37 fics on AO3 with Trump/Clinton (Bill) parings, 25 of them are marked "Explicit"
I hate to inform you that tiktok is doing mash-up videos of Bill Clinton and Trumps "secret love affair" and theres, allegedly, already Trump-Clinton fan fiction. I refuse to load up wattage or ao3 to confirm.

Do not make me do it myself.
there is no Democrat more in need of a primary challenge than Mark Warner of Virginia because what the fuck is this response to extrajudicially murdering nearly 100 people

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

I think Kaine’s probably retiring after this term, and he’s also being a sin-eater for Warner (who is up in 2026) here.

I am so angry that 40 days without work or pay might have been for nothing.

But this isn’t over quite yet.
This, from Tim Kaine is HILARIOUS:
