Went to renew my US Masters Swimming membership for the year, and was greeted with their new trans-exclusionary policy. Didn't renew my membership. Sent them a message about why.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Moderately popular Twitter post showcasing Steve Jobs's communication skills. The exhibit is a probably-illegal email from the lawsuit about high-tech firms colluding to depress wages. All the replies are completely straight, like, "Masterclass!" Is it a joke? Is anyone in on the joke?

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

I did Key Club with Venton in High School. Congrats, Venton!
ENGAGED.
State Rep. Venton Jones, a Dallas Democrat, just proposed to his longtime partner, Gregory Scott, Jr. moments after being sworn in. Jones popped the question when the House went into recess. #txlege

Know your slang: “Lit” is short for “literature.” It means “cool,” reflecting kids’ belief that literature is cool.
This is why you’ll sometimes hear kids saying “that’s so literature.”

My nephew asked for blue mittens so I'm going out on a limb here. He's recently (very) into Star Wars though and I think maybe just didn't realize that "Storm Trooper" was an option
