I did a comedy show last night where the goal was to try something I'd never done before, and found myself digging up weird news stories fof commentary. Winner was "well then don't put that guy in charge of the guacamole!"

Shocked/not shocked that, after the new EO targeting the Institute of Museum and Library Services, our vendor partners are completely silent. This includes money that we spend directly with them in service to our communities. Where you at?

I'm not saying people should do this, but if there was mass vandalism of Teslas and thd insurance to own one skyrocketed, what then??? Of course no one should DO THAT

I'm willing to bet that no other US president has had so many articles written about how to talk to your children about them

Remember when Howard Dean yawped in a room full of excited supporters, and got disqualified from the presidency?
i feel like i'm going crazy when i remember that there was a multi-month media freakout when hillary clinton sent some of her emails through a private server.

The day after Fred Korematsu Day, government websites related to the internment of Japanese Americans are taken down.
While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:

National Japanese American Memorial
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial
Stonewall National Monument

www.nps.gov/index.htm 🗃️
NPS.gov Homepage (U.S. National Park Service)
The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.

Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)

Wait till they find out how hard it is to do things without Federal functionaries. like their presidential nominees are going to have to do all the paperwork
Instead of going through each January 6th defendant's case one-by-one, Trump actually said "f**k it" and released them all?!

All horrifying politics aside, last week was also a tough one at work, and I had a sick kid. Today is books and cats
