βFull de-occupation of the #Zaporizhzhia NPP is a must.
Anyone who turns a blind eye to russiaβs occupation of such a facility, to russiaβs mining of the territory and facilities of the nuclear power plant, is actually contributing not only to this russian evil, but also to terror in general,β

Cornell West enlisted Jill Stein to help with his presidential bid
The same Jill Stein:
Backed by Russian money
Who had an army of Russians post on her behalf in the 2016 election, aiding Trumpβs win
Who raised more for her recount then for her campaign
β¦And the same Jill Stein seated with Vladimir Putin, Michael Flynn, Dmitry Peskov, and special guest stars (below)!
Russia thanks you for your patronage, Comrade West!

@tomw setting the over/under at 8.5y before Muskie turns himself into space dust
I used to work in a fancy tech office in downtown San Francisco, but my company switched to remote work at the beginning of the pandemic and what was only supposed to be about two weeks turned into two months and then over two years.
A little over two years in, we were told that we needed to go to the office to take home anything weβd left at our desks that we wanted to keep.
I wanted to get it over with so I selected the first time slot on the sign-up sheet and showed up at that time, but the man at the front desk said I wasnβt on the list and I couldnβt go in.
I had made a special trip to the office for the only time that worked and I just wanted to be done with everything and the man was being very rude and unhelpful.
I showed him my ID and badge for both the building and my office, but he said they werenβt proof that I worked there. I then showed him the email from my office manager confirming my time slot AND forwarded the email to him FROM my company email address to show that I still work there.
Another security guard could see how rude the other man was being and offered to walk me up to my office so I could show him that my desk was mine and grab my stuff, but the man at the desk held firm on his power trip and said there was no way of knowing if I actually worked for the company and cited that he had never seen me or anyone else from my company before (because weβd all been working remote for the past two years).
As a last resort, I asked him to contact our office manager to confirm that I was allowed in the office. Meanwhile, I sat off to the side and broke down crying out of frustration.
After a lot of back-and-forth, it was found that I was on the list and he was probably just misspelling my last name, so I was FINALLY allowed to go up to my office.
Even so, he seemed completely unwilling to acknowledge his mistake and actually treated me as if he was doing me a favor.
When I got to my desk, I grabbed some random desk items and a company award I had won along with my company-branded jacket that was hanging on the back of my chair and I proceeded to leave for the last time.
When I got to the lobby, I turned to the man at the front desk to βthankβ him for being so βhelpfulβ and asked if heβd pose in a photo with me to commemorate my βlast day at the officeβ and he agreed.
As a result, I now have a lovely photo of the rude man at the front desk with his mask hanging off his face and me standing in the foreground with my mascara running down my face as a result of crying due to his poor treatment.
I also made it a point to wear my jacket and hold my award, both obnoxiously branded with the name of the company he tried to imply I didnβt actually work forβbecause I can be a petty little brat when pushed hard enough.

I read an article printed a little while ago in the newspaper of the town where I was born and raised (and got the hell out) - lamenting that the kids are moving away, and how to stop it.
Don't be bigoted and hateful? Offer livable wages? Stop sneering at everything that didn't exist when your grandpa was a kid?
Just some ideas.
Good news: A big win for the Biden admin: The court holds that Texas & Louisiana lack Article III standing to challenge the administration's removal priorities for unauthorized immigrants. The court's 8β1 decision in this case, U.S. v. Texas, should substantially limit district court judge's ability to impose nationwide injunctions that block the Biden administration's immigration policies. Which is why Alito dissents. -Mark J Stern #ImmigrationReform

I tried out this "Hi, I'm autistic" thing yesterday, and I'm still processing (over-processing?) how it went.
Talking to the hygienist at the dentist office, treatment preferences, she asked if I knew why I prefer minimal contact. "I'm guessing it's the autism," I said.
She stopped talking to me, after that. In the past she's a chatterbox. Next appointment is scheduled with a different hygienist, in the past she's always pushed to book herself.
Processing? Or over-processing?
2nd toot of new handmade works:
The past week was really difficult. I feel a great need of changes in my life and am unsure of my path and some of my connections. It also meant I wasn't promoting much as I just wanted to hide. But my work requires me to always be out there, and I did make some things I'm proud of in those days of hiding. Maybe even things I could send to a loving home, make someone beautiful feel extra shiny and celebrated.

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.
