Sad news about Jenks. 44 is a hideously young age to die.

If you aren’t the full package of white, male, Christian, cishet, ablebodied, neurotypical, wealthy, *and* 100% MAGA-loyal and compliant, you are completely and utterly expendable to the current US regime. They’ll use you if they are able, for their own benefit or to weaponize you against other Others, and if/when they can’t they’ll feed you to the gators, literally or metaphorically, without blinking. Don’t kid yourself that they won’t.

Literally holding the House hostage for hours in the dead of night on a procedural vote. Mike Johnson is, as Hawkeye once described Frank Burns, a hermaphroditic weasel.

If I leave the house at all this weekend, which isn't likely, I'll be sporting a black armband. Say "hi" if you see me.

I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be in this world anymore.

Stable Genius at Work

I had the misfortune of being peripherally involved with a group of Pentecostals in the ‘90s. Superficially friendly but bat****-crazy folks with terrible theology and worse politics, and absolutely a specific Type. I’m not a bit surprised to see them caught up in MAGA. (Assuming we’re talking about true believers here and not pure knavish operators and grifters, of course. MAGA houses plenty of both.)

Cool, another kick in the nuts. https://www.yahoo.com/news/scotus-allows-trump-resume-3rd-205100498.html

Just a stupid, stupid man.

Although, given the patriarchal Christian fundamentalists in the GOP base, it’s probably not that much more likely.

Yep

Nice tidbit about the Vander Meer anniversary, but it was the first night game at Ebbets Field, not Crosley (where the first ever ML night game had been played three years earlier). Talking about esoteric nerdy factoids…
