Lady Laura 
You can say "Have a nice day" without any problem, but using the phrase "enjoy the next 24 hours" can sound slightly threatening.

LaffyMy fave Rep. ❤️
Via Kyle Griffin:
Rep. Jamie #Raskin is now calling on House Republicans to end their #Biden #impeachment inquiry following this indictment of the FBI informant at the center of the GOP's bribery allegations.

They’ve organized themselves around it" is what pisses me off whenever someone tries to overturn a wrongful conviction. Time and again one sees DAs and police fighting tooth-and-nail to maintain a conviction when it's become plain to all the convicted person was innocent. Why? Because admitting they'd made a mistake "undermines confidence in the system." https://seths.blog/2024/02/the-four-cohorts-of-the-status-quo/
Over the summer, I tweeted (I am *NOT* calling it X) something in response to a post about cubicles. A NYT columnist contacted me and wanted to interview me for a quote, and the story (and a quote from me 😀) was published in last Sunday's NY Times. It's at the very end of the story (the "pull quote," the author called it). Here's the link (gift link, so you should be able to read it even if you don't subscribe):

MrAlanCooper@jerrygulla It's the old joke about looking for your lost keys under the streetlight because the light is better. Solving it in code is always cheaper, even if it can't be solved in code.
elliot 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".
The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.
A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.

Zig ClaybourneWhy am I up at 5:30 in the morning thinking of how Darth Vader is the perfect metaphor for white supremacy apologism: do evil shit entire life, then perform one decent act and get handed the keys to the good part of heaven.
