The search for cloth suitable for Iron Age reenactment is reminding me how much I had certain synthetic fibers and how hard it is to find wool cloth here in the US without selling my soul to afford it.

Because he's a Nazi
On today's Tucker Carlson show, he makes clear that he believes that the US fought on the wrong side in World War II. In particular he says that the UK was mistaken to declare war on Germany just because it invaded Poland. And he has lots of sympathy for Herr Hitler throughout.

I'm gonna guess that no trans people will be invited to boardgame night.
I had a friend for three years I never talked politics with who turned out to secretly be a member of Identity Evropa and was connected to a series of racial terrorism incidents on his campus. He was arrested in Florida last month for trespassing and throwing his soiled underwear at a police officer

Thanks, internet, for reminding me that Iwamatsu Makoto (aka: Mako) died almost 20 years ago today. Not that Uncle Iroh wasn't a character I clung to during some of the worst points of my later youth 🙃

Sex testing is officially back in sports -- which is a huge bummer and also contradicts so much ethics, human rights law, and actual science. More on all that (and the history) on my podcast Tested: www.tested-podcast.com

My cat Lenny finally has surgery tomorrow after a three-day vet stay for an obstructed urinary tract. He'll spend two weeks recovering from this exhausting, traumatic, and incredibly expensive process, so if you like my work, your support would mean a lot right now.

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.

Rude during Disability Pride Month (or any month).
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that private citizens have no standing to sue for disability-based violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965—the landmark federal legislation which protects, among other things, the right to voting assistance for disabled people. 🤨🤔
Voters can't sue for disability discrimination, court rules
The conservative Eighth Circuit restricted voting rights enforcement to state officials—even in notoriously anti-voter states.

I hate “bring your authentic self” stuff at workplaces.
Employers don’t have a right to your authentic self. You’re trading them labor for money.
They owe you an environment where you’re safe disclosing aspects of yourself like gender identity or neurodivergence, but they have no right to it.
