So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

"This is not a normal court," Biden says. Okay. And? What are you going to do about it?
Because court reform and expansion have been anathema to Democrats this entire time, even when everyone told them that's what they needed to do.
I don't care about speeches.
New from me: โGay furriesโ group hacks agencies in US states attacking gender-affirming care https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/29/siegedsec-gay-furries-group-hacked-information-six-us-states
re: mental illness question
Oh, and the group @actuallyautistic and/or the hashtag #ActuallyAutistic are both good places to start.
re: mental illness question
Yes, it has a name (which escapes me at the moment) and it's very likely tied to autism.
Except I'm not asking why the meeting is being held, I want to know what my role in the meeting is supposed to be. Which hat am I expected to wear, and is my presence even necessary? I've got other stuff to do. If this is a meeting to decide whether we should have a meeting, count me out.
(Not hyperbole, I've been in one of those.)
@ScottSoCal it helps if you reformulate "why" as "what is the purpose of this meeting?". "Why" has, in general, an undertone of negativity, "What's the purpose?" is more goal-oriented. And yet, equally to the point.
Give it a try.

Yes! Gotta monetize those experiences! ๐ฐ
@MariaHill @Heimdall Affirmative Action benefited Clarence Thomas, now he wants to make sure that it never benefits anyone else ever again.
And the 8,000,000 people who use CPAP machines, along with their friends and family, heave a collective yawn.
The media is tripping over itself because Pres. Biden wears a CPAP machine. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell randomly shows up to work with purple bruises all over his face and the former guy nearly died when he got COVID, and Clarence Thomas was hospitalized for several days within the last year. The absence of editorial perspective is contributing to the destruction of American democracy
There are two types of Star Trek fans in the Bay Area. Those who can't look at the Golden Gate without seeing Starfleet Academy behind it, and those of us who are waiting for the Bell Riots.

"according to an upcoming book by a former administration official"
Who cravenly didn't say a word about it until it could become a blurb in their book.
"Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trumpโs top immigration advisers, advocated using U.S. predator drones in 2018 to blow up migrant boats full of unarmed civilians, according to an upcoming book by a former administration official."

He likes beer. And sexual assault.

I handle that by responding "Why are you inviting me to this meeting?" if the purpose isn't made clear on the invite.
I've been told some people have interpreted that as hostile. I see it as to-the-point.
@nellie_m @actuallyautistic @benjamincox indeed - after asking to be told what was expected from me for different meetings, for example, or being invited no later than 24hrs ahead unless a real emergency so I could prepare, I was told
"That's not how we currently work, so you have to figure something out on your end to handle it"
I gave up trying to explain 'accommodation' ๐ฎโ๐จ
Sotomayorโs discussion of the majorityโs disregard for #precedent is crucially important. She shows the lawlessness of the decision, the same lawlessness shown in cases like #Dobbs and #Bruen, other decisions where the current right-wing majority ignores settled case law and substitutes its own radical conclusions without any basis in law or fact. This is, as Iโve argued elsewhere, quintessentially tyrannical. 8/ #FAIRvHarvard #LawFedi
Itโs time to end legacy admissions. Each year thousands of students are admitted to colleges around the nation only because their parents went there.
Legacy admissions are back-door discriminatory policies that overwhelmingly advantage wealthy, white students over everyone else.
Never forget that the thing that made it possible for #SCOTUS to kill affirmative action was racist Republican voters electing the most dangerous traitor in US history who appointed paid-off justices that perjured themselves in confirmation hearings.
