The Guys

A collection of photographs of the ways my child arranges toys. Usually (but not always!) sets of 4.

4 squares with holes in a line touching each other (orange, yellow, dark green, lime green) and the Heeler family (dressed for swim except for Bandit) similarly lined, laying, nearby. Other toys are partially visible at the edge of the photo

Squares standing on edge (orange, dark green, yellow, lime green) touching in a line

4 magnatile triangles in a line (red yellow purple orange)

4 bluey figures ( Coco, swimming Chili, Frankenstein-Lucky, and Bingo) arranged laying in a rough square

Remember when Donald Trump said that construction of his new $250M ballroom wouldn’t interfere with the existing White House structure?

Tip o’ the hat to jolmy

The image shows a text post from tumblr user "theconcealedweapon":

If you really care about preventing government tyranny your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights.

And that’s not a joke or an exaggeration.

If criminals don’t have rights, then all the government has to do is to find Some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights.
It’s what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done.

If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you’re literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.

I feel like they’re burying the lead a bit

In one video, an agent can be seen pointing a weapon toward bystanders from the back seat of a truck with the window rolled down.

I know this is a joke, but it is very tragic that Thetis had a gift of prophecy.

Sometimes the contamination effects are as if different priorities are loaded into the affected person’s brain, like alien software running on human hardware. The result is chaos.

A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information.

Erez Reuveni spent 15 years as an immigration lawyer for the DOJ.

The Trump administration fired him when he refused to defend their lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Rabbits get garlic breath, too. Pungent aromatics in herbs are a defense mechanism in plants, causing their predators, herbavores, to stink, and thus be easier prey.

If you're a coyote, just look for the hole that smells like cabbage breath.

BILLY THE GAY DOLL was a Barbie style fashion doll released in 1997. It was unique, not only for being a gay doll (although not the first gay doll as it was marketed, that honor goes to GAY BOB from the 70's which I've shared an ad of recent) it was also anatomically correct.

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.

By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.
