@actuallyautistic Seriously, though, I'd be willing to pay money for quality children's shows that feature autistic major characters for my little ones to watch.

I love watching righties lose their shit over stuff like this. I mean, it’s absolutely fucking glorious.

The other Ukraine bill also passed in the House:
The bill to expand Russian sanctions and start confiscating Russian assets for Ukraine!

The US far-right is made up of some of the stupidest people you'll ever encounter -- folks who claim to be proud of a country they've never bothered to study.
To anyone who doesn't get what's funny, this statue was designed and built in France. Jesse slept through third grade.

I just read the subtitle.

Nothing says "privileged cis het white moderate" like a sentence that tries to find middle ground between fascism and non-fascism.

Apartheid Boy is concerned about Ukraine. Imagine the quality and depth of my sympathy for him.

Elon Musk expressed concern about the lack of an exit strategy from the war in Ukraine

"What worries me the most is that there is no exit strategy, just an eternal war in which children die in the trenches from artillery or machine guns and snipers, in minefields," Musk said on the social network X.

- Exit strategy? That is easy: Russia is free to leave Ukraine at any time! Who else could possibly exit??

Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, emphasized the strategy: The withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.

Podolyak, further commenting on Musk's post, said that after such posts by global influencers, "one has to wonder once again about the lack of basic logic in the modern world."

Unless you're a gay male, because we're supposed to be fashion-conscious and spend an inordinate amount of time coordinating.
I cheat because my other half buys my clothes, and I worked out a system to keep me from wearing the same clothes over and over. Clothes to wear get pulled from the left, clothes from laundry get put in from the right. Everything stays in rotation, and I can manage to pick colors that match.

The total price tag of the measures is about $95.3 billion. About $50 billion of it will be used here in the U.S. to replenish the supplies that will go abroad.

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the Senate will take up the measure on Tuesday. Senators had gone home for recess but will come back to vote. The Department of Defense says it is ready to rush crucial supplies as soon as it gets the go-ahead. - Heather Cox Richardson

I think it's funny that David Frum, of all people, is saying this. He helped create the Trump avalanche, with Bush the Lesser's lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the atrocities and torture authorized by the administration he supported and worked for.

We get something like a desert wind here in SoCal, when the Santa Ana winds kick up. It's close enough to make me miss the desert wind.

@nellie_m

Desert wind is very dry, a lot of static electricity, the smell of sagebrush and mesquite and ozone, and it's steady.
Coastal wind is moist, and heavy, and it's more wild and random.

@nellie_m

I've always loved the desert wind. I grew up in the desert and my parents' house bordered on hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. At night when the wind blew I'd walk up into the hills, feel the wind and look at the stars.
Coastal wind is different, and I'm not a fan.
