Valid.

That Androgyne flag, tho~

Seems like a basic safety precaution too. Getting bad tires off the road means less accidents.

Dark thought, what if a supporter did it, 'cuz that kid is definitely getting their treatment paid for now.

You’ll be glad to hear that the anonymous local was awarded the highest honor the city could bestow: the Ambassador of Aloha.

Okay, someone please tell me that there is better terminology for this…

“Cyberwitch” and “Technomagic” feel like cyberpunk tropes straight out of Shadowrun and it’s really awkward to try and explain my Practice to normies, non-tech-savy occultists, and the techies that stridently refuse to use their own magical thinking with Intent. XD

Eh, it’s not just BBQ tho. Houston is America’s most international city and you can find restaurants serving cuisines from around the world all fighting tooth and nail to prove thselves against the competition. The Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Southwest American food is amazing. Some of the best Greek, Thai, and Indian I’ve ever tried, the only fancy Irish pub I’ve ever tried (try the Guiness Stew at McGonigals Mucky Duck), not to mention almost everything else from late-night Italian delivery to a literal Russian bar to an Ethiopian eatery. Want Phó, a street taco, sushi, and a slice of pizza after watching the game at a sports bar? They’re all just minutes away and they’re all great!

I’d love for the Dems to start acting like an actual opposition party, but they’re owned by the same billionaires and not much has changed in the ten years since the party took a collective shit on Bernie so Hillary Clinton could have “Her Turn” like it was owed to her.

Vote however you want, but you have to do more than just vote if you want anything to change.

Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.

Now there’s a euphemism. XD

Exactly as predicted back in late 2014 when it became obvious that the party was going to throw an entire election just to keep Sanders from winning the primary.

They’d shit the bed, Trump would win 2016, backlash to Trump would carry a nothingburger Dem to win 2020, their fecklessness would turn off enough folks to give away 2024 for Trump’s second term, and now we’ve reached the time of monsters where the future depends on whether the kind of folks who go to No Kings protests can be organized into a general strike.

Arch w/KDE Plasma desktop, of course.

“Smart” TVs should be kept off the internet and only used as video output for actual computers.

IMO (and IANAL especially not of constitutional law) the executive branch has to prove to the courts that it has a compelling interest to keep such registries and that its need is such that less invasive recordkeeping would not serve that justifiable purpose. E.G., it needs a registry of voters to determine if someone is eligible to vote and in which jurisdiction, because without it the pollworkers would have no way to tell.

Under Strict Scrutiny, laws enabling such registries must be “narrowly tailored” (E.G., voter registration doesn’t need to know how much taxes you pay and your tax record doesn’t need to know which party you’re registered to) and employs the “least restrictive means” necessary to satisfy its compelling interest (E.G., they can’t charge you a fee to update your voter registration and there will always be a free option for filing your tax paperwork).

Keeping lists of trans folks serves no compelling interest, is not narrowly tailored to the interests it supposedly serves, and there isn’t even a civil means of determining whether or not one is on the list (to say nothing of correcting it for the folks that have undoubtedly been added to it in error). As such, it is prima facie unconstitutional.

Even the lowest bar of constitutional scrutiny, “Rational Basis”, would require that the law allowing the list be “rationally related” to a “legitimate goverent interest”, and I can’t think of anything less legitimate or rational than a government’s claimed need to get into everyone’s pants.

4th Amendment, the right against unreasonable searches.

And there’s another one for my block list.

Our planet is scifi as hell. We’ve got natural magnetic shielding to protect our UV-blocking ozone layer from solar winds. This planet is so damn cozy<3

Not technically a relationahip anarchist, but my partners and I have been an item for more than 20 years. Feels weird that the bleeding edge of popular culture is finally catching up to where I was back in high school. XD
