The restraining order means nothing to the supreme court, also.

“Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled, 7–2, that a town and its police department could not be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for refusing to enforce a restraining order, even though the refusal led to the murders of a woman’s three children by her estranged husband.”

Last time I crossed back into the US from Canada the agent gave my friend shit because she didn’t have a physical receipt for the purchase she made and couldn’t prove it was worth less than the threshold. Even though I live in a border city I rarely cross because the agents are such assholes

A couple friends and I have a “do not buy” spreadsheet with all our shared tools and equipment. If none of us have it a local lending library probably does

Is there only one person in the world who writes all thrift store price tags? It’s always the same handwriting

There’s a lyric in a Why? song Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone.

Wait, but

The guy on YouTube Quint Builds has been experimenting with this https://youtu.be/5Mr8FDyGcSA

Or they take the opportunity to reintroduce red lining

That makes sense. It seems the expressions are often tied to the music —raised eyebrows when playing a high note, something like surprise when hitting cymbals, scrunching when it’s nasty. So maybe involuntary but relative expressions from concentration and focus?

I was initially going to call it guitar face, but drummers make some wild expressions too. Though as a listener, I will also sometimes involuntarily make them too. Seems most of us aren’t immune.

I am not committed to winning

I’ve noticed women on bumble do this. Put moderate as their political affiliation, and list black lives matter and LGBTQ+ and such as their causes. Before this post I would think “elected moderates aren’t doing anything for your causes at best,” but my perspective as I swipe left on them anyway is a little different now

Also black families are over-policed, and their kids more likely to be put into foster care “National estimates suggest that 53% of Black children will experience CPS contact by age 18, as compared to 28% of White children” “We consider that, at their root, these inequities are the consequence of systemic racism: there is no inherent relationship between race and child maltreatment. Rather, race is a proxy for the societal and institutional privileges and oppressions people experience because of their membership in a racialized group” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9325927/

Movement for Family Power is a great advocacy organization if you want to get involved https://www.movementforfamilypower.org/

I use Bob’s red mill egg replacer for baking by default to save my eggs for breakfast, and tho I’ve never done a one-to-one comparison, it has always satisfied my baking needs.

Second relevant xkcd of the comments https://what-if.xkcd.com/74/

I started down the Linux route over the weekend and put my computer in hibernation and couldn’t figure out how to wake it up from its torpor without restarting. So I’m going with suspension for the time being

Ooh they sure would. It was a “proof of concept” like all my projects, but I rarely go back and improve them if they’re good enough. But wooden knobs would be a definite improvement

I do both freelance graphic design and historic window restoration on the side. I did them both before my current full time design job, and do them in my spare time. I’m lucky that my current job considers 32 hours full time, so I have Fridays to do side work.

And jolly

Is this a kid Rock joke?
