This also reminds me I’m well overdue for a rewatch of The 13th Warrior.
Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Software engineer: can you fix my printer?
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

the only way kidnapping and illegally detaining lawful permanent residents (or citizens!) in foreign concentration camps "plays out" is we all live our lives under fascism or the fascists are jailed and many of them executed. that's it. read a fuckin book.

I’m not aware of any experiment anywhere that shows UBI is anything but an unmitigated good thing.
A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

I love Delaware. I went to UD and lived there for twenty years. But I was born and raised in Maryland. And the orange crush is Maryland’s drink. Anything else is crazy talk.
🍹The orange crush news you've all been waiting for:
The bill making the crush the official state cocktail has been approved by a House of Delegates committee and was just✨enthusiastically✨ moved forward in the process by the full House.

Delaware fired first in the orange crush war. Now Maryland is ready to attack.
Maryland lawmakers are trying to make the orange crush our state cocktail, a year after Delaware stole our favorite drink.
