@imstilljeremy @jewishreader @StillIRise1963 @JRBuckley @Steve When I was coming up, it was often said we "had to be patient" instead of demanding civil rights that they (white people) exercised without hindrance or question.
Mike Pence has a dilemma. With a new federal court order for him to testify before Special Counsel Jack Smithβs grand jury, Pence is running out of time, arguments and options. Aw, poor guy. I explain his predicament in todayβs piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-perils-of-mike-pence-a-quick?sd=pf
I continue to be mystified by the sentiment that being a First Amendment advocate means *socially* tolerating people I find obnoxious or contemptible. I keep getting βwhat kind of free speech advocate blocks people?β The kind who doesnβt deal with assholes when not professionally compelled to do so. The First Amendment isnβt a hair shirt.
Do you feel like society tells us to be ourselves, and then complains about it when we actually do, βBut not like that!β.

A HERO OF UKRAINE β€οΈ
Almaz, a demining dog, and Almaz's trainer, Leonid Levchenko.
Almaz and Leonid work on de-mining Kyiv region. Somedays the dog finds up to 200 mines in a single day.
When this war is over, I hope Almaz can go back to playing in the park with his trainer β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

Pause and think about this.
Since November, journalists have been cynically dismissing the Fediverse, saying that journalists cannot subsist here.
Well, the Fediverse may have given @TexasObserver a lifeline! So much of the donations from the GoFundMe have come from the Fediverse β many commenters saying they discovered @TexasObserver from their Mastodon server.
We, the Fediverse, just might save a storied institution of journalism!
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.
