Professional, veteran, wife, & mom. Progressive AF because of all those things. Lover of ttrpgs, scifi, fantasy and all things nerd. Hiking in the woods of MD and copper fire painting are the best (but so is painting miniatures). Sadly unable to type
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up.
Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking.
The media response is "yawn."
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet
Men and boys, don’t rape or associate with rapists. And if you know of a rape, especially but not only while it’s currently going on, freaking call the police and tell your “friends “ you’ve done so. Silent revulsion helps not one single person. That’s the only message here
All sports betting is a scourge on society and ICYMI here’s your AI use case - pile on and hook the biggest losers. I hate it.

Kid moved to Minneapolis to follow their dreams (yay/sob) and of course took their dog Flash. He’s getting winter gear and we’re getting pictures. This is my favorite, which my son has dubbed “medieval serf.” The next is what my daughter names “My father paid to get me into Yale”
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I wonder if i could play with resin. It requires a bit less precision. Obviously my copper blowtorch work is completely out, and anything very small scale will be impossible. Hmm. I may have more options than I’d thought. Thank you, coffee. I’ll ponder some more over this new cup
Up most of the night again. Slowly (so slowly) recovering from a central slip rupture. I badly want to paint again, which focuses me past the pain of the thrice-daily hand exercises. And they do hurt. We have a show at the end of this month and there is no way I’ll be able to make some new pieces
When a bishop takes office, he’s asked to make this promise before God and the entire Church:
“Do you resolve, for the sake of the Lord’s name, to be welcoming and merciful to the poor, strangers, and to all who are in need?”
It isn’t an adjunct of his ministry. It’s core to the entire sacrament.
The plan should be jurisdiction stripping. Per Constitution A3S2, SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over "Disputes involving ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and cases where a U.S. state is a party" everything else derives from Congress. They want originalism, they get originalism.
NEW: Pope Leo told world leaders on Friday to stop entrusting human lives to AI:
“One of the serious problems today is the fact that decisions concerning human life are being entrusted to machines.”
He said algorithms impose “a form of domination” by deciding “who is seen and remains invisible.”
Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.
And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history
-why is it the ONLY unforgivable sin?" And then she told me, "I finally figured it out. The Holy Ghost is that part of God that lives in everybody, and the way you sin against it is by not loving everybody with all your heart, for exactly who they are."
A devastated Texas dad says his wife’s death after a miscarriage was preventable—and that the state’s abortion ban helped create the dangerous “gray area” that kept doctors from giving her the care she needed.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight.
This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.
“We cannot believe in Jesus and promote war.
“We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent.
“We cannot believe in Jesus and abandon those who suffer, those who weep, those who flee from misery.” — Pope Leo XIV

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "
look survivors in the eye and tell us why."
"The message was unmistakable," the statement added. "They wanted us to go away."
The survivors faulted Tillis for publicly inviting them to a meeting, saying they waited 45 minutes outside his office until a staffer told them he would not be available.
Please make your comments to save Chaco Canyon. Last days to do so.
Public lands belong to us, & Chaco Canyon is sacred.
