Just finished @jessicacalarco.com ‘s book Holding It Together. It’s so good! She writes so well, her empathy for everyone she covers is clearly evident. I alternated between being near tears to being frustrated and eventually ended up hopeful (even if now maga is an impediment…I’m still hopeful)

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

I really wouldn’t be shining lasers at helicopters if I were you. It’s illegal and could cause an aircraft to crash - and that could kill a LOT of people, in the air and on the ground.

And the ICE goons appear to be *salivating* at the chance to claim people that they arrest were doing this:

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

My child is trying to get my spouse to look up something called “59 year old boy”. Spouse has (wisely) nixed searching for this.

(They are building a xmas list since some of my family are hoping to beat tariffs by ordering early. It’s a typo or mislabeled but it has intrigued the child)

I thought I was going to get home stupid late after most likely losing a double header in beer league softball

But the best team in the league forfeited to us bc they were all going to this game

And now I am wondering if that world have been an earlier night than this

listening to the mariners in extra innings is bringing back memories of 95 though the true experience would involve the game abruptly cutting to footage of the moon, because they were broadcast on a channel that automatically switched to the NASA channel after 3 hr
