Texts, not emails

Yeah, the "my love" part. Next they'll say he also called his roommate "darling."

Here's hoping he does not take a peal deal, and that his attorney challenges the authenticity of these alleged emails in court.

Great, so now I have to worry about bringing my towels to the laundromat?! Jeez

I don't see what you're seeing.

I would say that is likely that he is steeped in 4chan and gamer memes. For example, "hey fascist, catch this!" is straight out of the video game Helldivers 2. I think he is more a nihilist troll. If he does have a political ideology, it could well be far right.

Oh, and be sure to read the whole thing. The last three paragraphs go beyond Newsom, explaining how having a transphobe Dem win is worse than having a transphobe GOP win.

Just read it.

Well that was fun. I don't follow baseball, and although I have heard the name Roger Clemens, I really don't know anything about him. If you told me he was a lovely person, I would believe you.

To be clear, in order to see the article I have to actually subscribe, which includes giving the Times my credit card information.

Meredith Boylan @nayabean.bsky.social · Aug 1

I don't understand what you're saying. It's not a gift link. When I click on it, I am prompted to subscribe to the NYT Cooking section. After a brief free trial, I have to pay for that.

Do you think that counts as a gift link?

Are you kidding me? The 6th Amendment is about rights that apply to *criminal defendants.*

Do you actually think this is a case where the ICE agents are defendants who have been charged with crimes?

Jeez.
