So first of all, the DOJ's standards are....extremely fallen, I cannot imagine this happening much earlier in time.

Second, the word "intentionally" has very specific meaning and this lawyer thirty years into practice knows what it means, and the judge is being very clear about that.

Like ok not ALL Irish music is political, there's also "Ah shit, the fey" of course, but like, "tally-tally-whack-fol okay the English have stopped paying attention listen up boys" is maybe half of Irish folk music on its own.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

I shouldn't be this relieved to have my money stolen, but better than actually building concentration camps.

The #vssdaily #prompt for 3/11/26 is #weed

While things are lovely here at #vss365, I'm still waiting for harmony in my home. Blending cat households after caring for my father has proved to be a challenge. Still, I love my newest kitty and all her quirks. In her honor, the March 11 #prompt is #bonny.

"Our engineers are bad at documentation" Oh, really? When was the last time anyone got promoted for documentation? Or, you know, tons of tech writers who would be happy to have work right now. You get the behavior you reward.

Look, it's a mess out there and you can react to that mess by deciding everyone else is a moron or you could react to it by deciding most people are trying to get by with a different context than yours and start working the problem. Those are your choices pretty much, can't choose "no mess"

As awful as this piece in Variety is...it's much worse than you think. I've linked to her full essay.

Corporate money outweighs talent when making profitable movies—discoverability is *everything* in the creative industries.

You could make one *hell* of a studio from the people Pixar burned.

The benefit of making your own clothes is you can make the pockets as big as you like

"If you're going to run a Very Serious Article About Romance, assign a writer who regularly reads romance" seems like such an obvious rule of thumb for editors to follow.

This reminds me of one of my grandfather’s early and core messages to the world bank: if you want the money to be used effectively, give it to the women. No major study required, they already know where the need is and they probably already have a system to get it where it needs to go.

You better fucking believe I'm spiraling

We need to build for the world we want while dealing with the world we have. Reducing car use is a generational project, just as becoming car dependent was.
