  • Well, I can't do an arrest. Can you do an arrest? I'm guessing you can neither arrest nor prosecute. If you can, by all means. I look forward to hearing about it. But I don't expect to. I expect that that is not a solution that will be employed. John Oliver tried an extrajudicial offer to Clarence Thomas, and he doesn't seem to have accepted that. So there don't appear to be any remedies within the system, adjacent to the system, or near the system. And somehow, I also doubt I'll hear about you throwing his tea into the harbor.

    Who bells the cat?

  • Literally impossible right now. It'd take a 2/3ds senate majority to remove him.

  • He quashed the strike in the moment, and got them most of their demands as a follow-up, as I hear it. But only the first part ever made the news, for some reason.

  • "Why don't you just be a gender nonconforming ASAB?" trans people get asked, from reasonably well-meaning people who don't Get It. My sibling in Christ, even if we did, look what happens.

  • I wear a respirator every time I leave the house. If COVID taught us anything, it is that people are more disgusting and less considerate than we had imagined. Meanwhile, COVID is still a thing, long COVID is still a thing, and it's progressive - every time you catch COVID the rates and the damage are worse.

  • Depends on where you start. My mental state was pretty fucked before, and while I can't say my self confidence is amazing, you shoulda seen it then. Definitely not for everyone, tho.

  • I wonder how different things would be now if Roger Stone (still politically involved Roger Stone who was a major player in the last Trump administration and who has a back tattoo of Nixon) hadn't caused the Brooks Brothers Riot and fucked up the counting of votes in Florida allowing the supreme Court (whoch at the time had multiple clerks that Trump put on the court) to declare Bush the winner.

    Yeah, it's been all the same people, fucking stuff up, all along.

  • Oh, they include it in the bills that ban trans care: continue forcing "corrective" surgery on intersex people. That kind of surgery on the genitals of children is always exempted from the trans care bans.

  • I mean, it's possible to have a happy, healthy, 24/7 D/s relationship. Not that you're wrong about the rest of it; the people who get into the tradwife thing think "consent" is a dirty word.

  • I have heard that you can't appeal things that you didn't raise objections to during the trial; there need to be mistaken rulings on the part of the judge for an appeal to work, it's not just relitigating the case.

  • I'm going to go with, "anyone who Putin left in place is performatively patriotic at best".

  • Hands up if you thought this was about Shane Vaughn for a minute.
