I’ve experienced something similar. I bike around Seattle often - if I see someone in knee high socks, plaid shirts and a crop top from afar it’s more often than not a trans person when they get close.

I’ve always had a tie hanger.

Anyone interested there’s a great Advisory Opinions episode on this and they discuss the various concurrences and dissents.

The most important thing is that our nation continues to care most for those people who need caring for the least.

I used to hear from my engineer that “it would not go bankrupt; it’s too big to fail”. Wonder if they knew one another?

TNCR until recently.

The Great Egg Heist https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2025/eggs-prices-gouging-cal-maine-investigation/ 280,000 eggs disappeared from America’s top producer. Then came a ransom note. At one point, federal agents at the border were seizing eggs more often than fentanyl. Then in February, bandits grabbed about 100,000 organic eggs from the back of a trailer at a facility in Pennsylvania.

I do too. Very cool.

@Mik said in The Karen Read Murder Trial: But they did find her guilty of DUR (driving under restriction?) and she got a year's probation and community service. if she completes it it goes away. George has been following this closely. It's a great example of the limitations of our justice system. I couldn't believe the trial was continuing to be honest. I'd spent a fair amount of time watching it (partly because I used to live in Canton), and the whole prosecution case looked like a stitch-up. I wonder what, if anything, will happen to the people who it must now be assumed tried to frame her.

From Cato’s Scott Linsicome: This perpetual golden share prevents any of the following from occurring without the consent of the president of the United States or his designee: Relocate U.S. Steel’s headquarters from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Redomicile outside the United States Change the name of the company from U.S. Steel Reduce, waive, or delay the $14 billion of near-term investments into U.S. Steel Transfer production or jobs outside the United States Close or idle plants before certain timeframes other than normal course temporary idling for safety, upgrades, etc. Other protections regarding employee salaries, anti-dumping pricing, raw materials and sourcing outside the U.S., acquisitions, and more. The AP adds that the golden share also gives the president “the authority to name one of the corporate board’s independent three directors and veto power over the other two choices.” Presumably other terms will emerge soon, but—regardless—these details are sufficient to turn my views on the U.S. Steel deal from vigorous support to aghast opposition.

@LuFins-Dad said in That didn’t take long: Yes, and he was banned in 20 minutes. How do you know? I went to the site and it doesn’t say anything I’m a little surprised he got ~500 likes per post. One didn’t get ratioed.

Jonah Goldberg hosts Ken Pollock, who he refers to as ‘the most knowledgeable person he knows who is against American involvement in the Iran war’. He’s the real deal, former CIA, later Iran/Iraq desk lead for NSA, wrote a book on their nuclear program. Currently at AEI. Definitely recommend. @Mik - I think you in particular would enjoy this.

I like JFK’s. Classy.

I have doctor appointments galore that week. One I could change. Four not so much.

Maybe an allergy to dog hair.

@taiwan_girl said in On this day....: This is the best I could find for 17Jun83. 55555 Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren exorcise a "werewolf demon" from Bill Ramsey, although lack of photo or video evidence has called this claim into question https://paranorms.com/bill-ramsey/ Has it Ended? Bill Ramsey last appeared in public in 1992 when he updated his progress. Just before his exorcism, the transformations were increasing in both frequency and seriousness. Since that time, there have been no incidents recorded. No one has been rampaging uncontrollably through the streets of Southend-on-Sea in almost fifteen years now. But Bill Ramsey has been quiet for just as long as that before. It was also the release date of Superman III…
