Cities: we want to make it illegal to be homeless!

SCOTUS: OK

Cities: yay, now we can spend $65,000/year to put them in a prison rather than $20,000/year to put them in housing!

Thirst Birds

These are a couple of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) who were around last November. They are both males, with fall plumage, I think.

Of course Prez Biden was tired during last nights #presidentialdebate

He’s spent the last 3 years cleaning up the monumental mess left behind by his opponent. Plus he didn’t get hours and hours of sleep in a NY courthouse.

@SeanShealy

No, he doesn't. He has an incredible record to lean on, for the last 3.5 years. Lower inflation than most other countries, better economy than all other countries, lowest unemployment in decades, wage gains, prescription cost reductions.
Those accomplishments don't get wiped away by 90 minutes. They just need to be talked up.

@BlueWall

A filibuster-proof majority in House and Senate, unless they come to their senses and reform the filibuster.

@ScottSoCal @mvario @Strandjunker

Again, requires a Democrat House and Democrat Senate, (without Manchin and Sinema,) and a Democratic President.

@Defiance

It's a reference to the human flesh embedded in the "truck" after those sharp edges peel the skin off line personnel.

People dunk on how fugly the #Cybertruck looks, and rightly so. But the name is just as bad. Cyber?!! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@theintercept

That's exactly the same thing they did in Citizens United - rejected it, but spelled out step-by-step how to do it so they'd rule the way the PACs and corporations wanted.

@GottaLaff

He can't legally run a business in the state he used to call home. He and his children can't legally run a *charity* because of their past crimes.

8/ Biden: The only convicted criminal on that stage was Trump. When I thought about his 34 convictions, his sexual assault on a woman in a public place, his being fined for business fraud.. I thought to myself Trump is not just convicted felon, he’s a one man crime wave

@tusk81

Saw it during the Duhbya years. I was living in a remote and deeply agricultural rural county, where all the farmers and ranchers were pumping their fists in the air because their boy had finally done something to hurt the illegals. Then they suddenly had nobody to work their crops. There were large hand-sprayed plywood signs by the highway promising twice the previous year's wages, begging somebody, anybody, to apply. They all took a major bath.

These are the same people who can't wait for Donald Trump to become king. Because they're not very bright.

@Autisticaurochs

Yes, all of that, plus more. Writing fan fiction, just sitting and pondering, online forums.

I'm a Trekkie, and I stumbled across a site that had the extrapolated external dimensions of a starbase, so I calculated the internal. Took 2 years to refine it, off and on.
Those things are (would be) HUGE! A potential population of about 2,000,000 people. Deck space measured in hundreds of square miles.

@bryan

My problem is, my music tastes are eclectic, to the extreme. I can and have enjoyed every genre except the really twangy country & western. What I want to listen to is very mood-dependent, and no AI is going to know what I'm in the mood to hear.
Speaking of "in the mood"...

The shockwaves from this week's events, culminating with the relatively less-consequential immunity decision on Monday, will be felt for the rest of our lives and likely into our childrens' dotage. Plan accordingly.
