No only is she good, she’s got integrity and doesn’t save shit for books after the public pays the price for government lies.
CRAZY story here from Anna Bower

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Is that other dude running for NYC mayor really wearing a Guardian Angel hat all the time?

The thing is, this uneven feed was RAD when doing the yoke, because that has a 3/8th easement so that it curves around the bang bang (the butt). I probably need to figure out how to make this adjustment so I can use it when I want, and lose it when I don’t.

I’m gonna start it even (it has to be), keep it even until the knee, and then pull that bottom layer back even more so it becomes 3/8th BEHIND the top layer just before that crotch seam. That MIGHT work. There must be something I gotta adjust on machine cause this couldn’t be how it’s done.

So now I’m trying to get my double needle chain stitch to correctly fold and not pull the bottom layer faster than the top. It’s weird, it pulls a consistent 3/8th faster but not continuously, meaning it starts even, if I successfully hold it back it stays even, and then at the cross seam..nope.

I dunno, that’s pretty hot to me. I dated a woman who I hadn’t stand on my tippy toes to kiss, and this would be a whole new level.

How about that stupid Resident Alien on the Flix.
It’s goofy, and maybe not for everyone, but Sunny and I throughly enjoyed it. 30min eps, three seasons currently I think? It’s kinda like a Sci-fi Schitts Creek, in that it’s situational comedy with a good base of heart. Feels very Canadian.

All these MAGA fucks who complain about how hard it is to be a white male in America have no idea what their Three Warted Angler Devilfish cousins endure.

In fact the vast majority of amphibians, fish and reptiles it’s the female that’s more dominant. As species they have prevailed for considerably longer through much harsher environments than any mammal has on their books. Might be something to it. I dunno..

Ethan Embry @ethanembry.bsky.social · 1d

In the Triplewart Seadevil Anglerfish, the female is up to 60 times longer and 500,000 times heavier than the male. The male is so small it needs to attach itself to her as a parasite to procreate. They’ve been around 90+ million years. Might be something to consider ladies.

It coulda but that idiot was standing on the left side of his girlfriend blocking my quick ascent. Stand behind her dude. Put your arms on her hips. Rest your chin on her shoulder a second. She will love it and you’ll be out of my way!

Worked on that damn machine for two hours last night and my obsession woke me at 4:30 this morning. Ok, it was my bladder and my coffee addiction, but I went back out to the shop and tackled that cunt.

I wanna throw a chain stitch on all my serged fabric edges. Yes, it will add a step when it’s needed, but it looks fricken pretty and I’ve not seen any company do it. Serves no purpose but the look, but it looks GOOD. Took forever and a day to get this machine running right and I FINALLY DID!

Piece of blue denim with a serged red raw edge and a BEAUTIFUL gold chain stitch along the inner red edge. The chain stitch looks like a small attached piece of golden rope.

If it’s a wide escalator stand on the right and use the left side like stairs, or take the fuckin elevator.
Yes this is very much a moral issue.

Failure to return the shopping cart to one of the cart returns if you are able is a sign of someone who does not value the social contract.

Even “progressive” leaders in America struggle with condemning the plan to overthrow the Venezuelan regime, which is fucking insane. That won’t be easy and have we not learned? Don’t answer that.
BUT- overthrowing Maduro won’t be possible without Colombia and we just murdered their fishermen.

Colombia accuses US of 'murder' after strike on boat

President Gustavo Pedro says the vessel, which Donald Trump believes was carrying drugs, had its distress signal on when it was struck in September.

Yep. I haven’t seen a substantial group of us willing to admit that yet.

We now know why the Southern Commander (in charge of Caribbean military activities) retired. The boat in Colombian waters illegally attacked by the United States on September 16th was a fishing vessel sending out a distress signal. All three were murdered on board.

It’s my belief that a majority of state governments, a majority of the federal government, our courts, and a majority of the people have chosen to support true fascism. This is not about HIM. This is the ideology that has grown FROM him.
He will be gone soon.
The rest I mentioned will still be here.

Ethan Embry @ethanembry.bsky.social · 2d

To actually overcome this we need rather extreme changes to the structure. SCOTUS, the Senate, the constitution. None of them have what it takes to accomplish that. This most likely won’t be changed through elections.

Ethan Embry @ethanembry.bsky.social · 2d

Nope nope nope and nope.
We get absolutely no where democratically without half (at least) of his supporters. This is a very different situation than we have ever seen and it will require a complete dismantling of the government. We will need super majorities in a super of all legislations.

Ethan Embry @ethanembry.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly. That’s exactly my point. I don’t see a way out of this in traditional democratic means. If we are truly defending democracy which I think we are, then this isn’t winnable on a ballot. No fascist regime has left in peace. That’s where I’m at.
