Feels annoying that I have to specify that from here on out, politicians need to have adult-level emotional regulation.

Yeah, there was a stranger in the house.
At least today he didn't make so much noise and didn't make mom leave her room.
Mom says he's all done and won't be back unless you give them lots of money.

Today, #Hope is hard to find
ICE is kidnapping people in my city. My fellow citizens are making them work for it, but it's still horrifying to see.
Please send me your most hope-filled memes, thoughts, ideas, etc.

We have an electrician in the house installing a new circuit to go with the upstairs washer/dryer that were installed 4 years ago and plugged into a very under-rated circuit for them.
We are very lucky that we didn't burn the house down before now.

If they go through with this (even if it is USPS being hard nosed in negotiations) they should be required by law to ensure delivery to every address in the US just like USPS is.
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

"...cats meow more frequently when greeting male caregivers. The team hypothesized that men 'require more explicit vocalizations to notice and respond to the needs of their cats'...suggesting that many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, and adjusted their behavior accordingly."

I love Belle's analysis here.
Yeah, the Reps kept the seat, but they lost a whole lot of wiggle room.
My takeaway is: Celebrate this as a win for the Dems. It is. Celebrating will motivate more progressives and scare the Reps.

I once talked to a student who self-described as having a "mild" ADHD diagnosis about why they hadn't sought accommodations. The literal first thing that they said was "I'm not ADHD enough to need them," which was something that I've kept in mind as I listen to this "discourse" about accommodations.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

One of the drums I am going to keep beating is that the US needs to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ.
Right now, we live in a time in which the president is immune and can grant immunity to basically anyone he wants. They are acting accordingly.
