  • Well, it does take hands to raise the guillotine's blade . . . true. Might also take hands to lock billionaires into the guillotine. So, thanks for the suggestion!

  • Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't seen someone put on a suicide vest to take out ICE/Republicans. Maybe they have a terminal illness and want to some good on their way out. That's honesly the most stunning thing about today.

  • Boomers have overstayed their welcome. The spoiled generation took the greatest wealth ever seen, became spoiled by it, sqandered it, and left X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Alpha holding the bag (climate change, broken empire, insurmountable debt, political instability, unstable social safety net, etc.). They will not be missed.

  • “This Job Sucks”: DOJ Attorney Asks Judge to Hold Her in Contempt

    Jump

  • Well, the rules of professional conduct, which all attorneys are bound by, make it very clear what the client gets to decide versus what the attorney gets to decide. Essentially, the client gets to decide what the best conclusion is while the attorney decides the best means to get there (or, as close as can be) via the legal apparatus such that the other rules of professional conduct aren't violated. Basically, the client pulls the trigger, the attorney furnishes the gun and aims it as best as can be for the client.

    So, when there's no guidance or direction, they're saying the political establishment isn't giving guidance on what the end result looks like. So, the attorney can't proceed.

  • Oh Blockbuster, who art in heaven

    Hallowed be thy memory

    Thy storefront come

    Thy movies return

    On Earth as it is in Heaven

    Give us this day our daily movie rentals

    And forgive us our shortsightedness

    As we forgive those who exploit us for money

    And lead us not into micro-transactions

    But deliver us from enshittification

    For thine is the Weekend

    The Power and the Vibes

    Forever and ever

    Amen

  • I may not fully understand what it is to be trans, but my reaction to that is curiosity, a desire to learn. To understand.

    I had it explained to me once by a really really good friend, so I'll try to pass it on as best I can. The way I had it explained to me was:

    Imagine the thing you will leave behind that will last the longest.

    Is it a photo?

    No. Photographs fade and decay.

    Is it a scientific discovery?

    Probably not

    Is it an achievement?

    Not really unless you're up there like Neil Armstrong.

    Is it the memory others have of you?

    No because eventually they'll pass on too.

    After a few generations, all reference and remembrance of you will have faded into the background but for one thing: your tomb stone. Not much of anything, but it'll stand the test of time better than anything else really. I mean the Egyptians built the pyramids, and they're the oldest thing we have. What are they made of? Stone.

    Now, imagine that your tomb stone had the wrong gender marker and someone else's name. It's a pretty crappy thing isn't it? The only thing that will be left to proclaim that you, [so-and-so-and-so], were here as a male/female between these dates is wrong.

    Now, imagine you could, if just for a moment, come back to fix it and set it right. Not much of anything, but it'll set right the mark that you [whatever your name is] were here as male/female/whatever.

    That's basically a gender transition, but while you're alive.

    Maybe they'll dead name you on your marker anyway. Maybe they'll have the wrong gender marker on that stone anyway too. It's not like you'll notice. But at least you'll have tried, and maybe that'll have to do. After all, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and transitioning while you're alive is the best shot you can take to get that tombstone set right. Also, maybe have a shot at a happier life along the way.

    And, that's pretty much how it was explained to me. Kinda sad, but it really made it clear and understandable to me. Hope it helps you like it did me.
