I won’t be watching because horror scares the bejeezus out of me, but it’s this:
Movie poster for “Weapons” comprised of a child’s pencil and marker drawing of three figures, labeled “Mom” “me” and “Dad.” Mom and Dad have bloody faces and hold forks. Text at the top is “Weapons” in pencil and at the bottom “Only In Theaters August 8.”

If you see this, post a beach photo from your phone.

Mon 2/3/2025 7:56 AM To: ANDREA LUCAS Cc: ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGES; +29 others Good morning, Andrea. Apparently no one in leadership is willing to ring the alarm bells so it falls upon one of us to do it. The tactics you are employing and actions you have taken in lock step with this new administration are illegal and unconstitutional. You are not fit to be our chair much less hold a license to practice law. I will not participate in attempts to target private citizens and colleagues through the recent illegal executive orders. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the Commission serves the people of the United States. If you want to continue following the illegal and unethical orders of our president and the unelected leader of "doge" that's on you. As I said in the email I sent to my colleagues yesterday (which was mysteriously deleted not only from their inboxes, but from my sent box), I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message. But, at the end of the day, my actions align with what the BEOC was charged with doing under the law. I will not compromise my ethics and my duty to uphold the law. I will not cower to bullying and intimidation. If upon reflection, you feel like now would be a good time to take a vacation and resign from your position, please 'reply all' to this email and put "I'd Like to Occupy Mars!" in the subject line. We will take this as notification that you are resigning your position as acting chair. P.S. Happy Black History Month! Sincerely, [name redacted]

Choosing to be hopeful considering Whitmer’s emphasis on “legality” and “any applicable court decisions,” but it’s a rough feeling of holding one’s breath to see what will come of this in Michigan.
Screenshot from article with following text: The directive orders a consultation by the department heads with the Department of Attorney General to ensure compliance with the Trump directives, "as consistent with federal and state laws and any applicable court decisions," prioritizing legal advice on the impact those orders have on the use or receipt of federal funds. Michigan received nearly $34 billion in federal funds as part of the current $83 billion 2025 fiscal year budget. Most of those federal funds, approximately $27 billion, were utilized in spending for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which includes Michigan's participation in Medicaid. One potential issue is a 2021 DHHS bulletin which delineates the circumstances by which Medicaid would cover treatment and procedures for persons diagnosed with gender dysphoria, saying they "are not considered to be elective or cosmetic when determined to be medically necessary."

How cute is @bsky.app for using a floppy disk icon for their save image button?! 💾

(The healthcare expenditure x life expectancy chart I was saving is not so cute, unfortunately.)
