I love the weird, overly annunciated voice people use when responding to automated customer service voice prompts. I just walked by a colleague's office (who is clearly trying to get into his bank account via phone) and heard him practically bellow:

"LOG IN"

(Ten seconds of silence)

"CHECK-KING ACCOUNT"

(Another ten seconds of silence)

"YES"

(silence)

"CUSS-TUH-MER SER-VICE"

It's 'person with allism' actually.

It now looks like, per another brilliant report by ProPublica, that our dear Justice Clarence Thomas also participated in Koch Network donor events. Is there no end to his corruption and influence peddling? Don’t answer that, I know the answer.

MAGA IS TO BLAME FOR
A SHUTDOWN.
PERIOD.

“K-911. What’s your emergency?”
“THERE’S A SQUIRREL!”
“Please calm down, sir. Where is it?”
“IN THE TREE ACROSS THE STREET!”
“Have you tried barking at it?”
“YES! DUH!! I’M NOT AN IDIOT!!!”
“Okay, put down the phone and try again now, I’ll stay on the line.”

You know what you're not likely to see today?

A bunch of Democrats making excuses for Bob Menendez and saying the DOJ was weaponized against him. And Biden coming out and saying it's totally unfair the way he's being treated and castigating the FBI and IRS.

Why? Because the Democrats aren't a cult.

My biggest tip for people who have published stuff online is to take a snapshot of it with the Wayback Machine.

You can do that by pasting this in front of the URL:
https://web.archive.org/save/
(takes a minute)

By doing this, you'll be able to access the snapshot even if (when) the site shuts down.

Everyone makes misssteaks.

When will Disney make the obvious sequel, The Giant Mermaid?

I am so excited to finally share my @TexasObserver feature on the #Drag Queens of Austin and how they're defying the threat of legal crackdown and persecution in the streets, from the magazine. I spent months putting this together and I am so proud of how it came out... https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/

We have a new Corgi puppy named Feferi and all I want to do is take pictures of her sleeping.

Queer update: If you were wondering, I'm feeling exhaustedly queer.
