Where do I even start with this week? Gabbard out, Colbert's last show, 1.776 billion in bribes, it's just a chaotic mess.

I can't believe one of John Grisham's novels, the Whistler, was published in 2016. It reads like he could see the future.
Caught a three-day ban from Reddit for suggesting Trump's gave will be a gender-neutral restroom. It was clearly an AI ban, because I tripped the wrong keywords.
I am reminded, once again, that in-person conversations are more meaningful than keyboard rants, however cathartic they might be.
Summer begins!
Now what rights is the Supreme Court going to take away from us this year?

😠 A tactic we've already seen with Gemini on Android. But at least you can disable it here, learn how: https://tuta.com/blog/how-to-disable-gemini-on-android
I couldn't help noticing that National City Bank, who president Charles Mitchell was on trial for tax evasion following the 1929 stock market crash, went under at the end of 2008 following that year's housing bubble collapse.
The second Glass-Steagal Act of 1933 was written directly in response to Mitchell's financial practices. By July of 2008, the company's management had been speaking with regulators about their risk management practices.
I just wonder what kind of practices occur today.
I love the warm weather of summer, being able to have fun outside and walk the dog for long stretches.
I'm not a fan of learning what new terrible rulings come down from the Supreme Court.
MissConstrueToday is May Day, and lots of us are withholding labor and capital from the system. But do you know why we celebrate #MayDay?
May Day, or International Workers’ Day, commemorates the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago. During a rally in Haymarket Square supporting workers striking for an eight-hour workday, an unknown person threw a bomb at police, killing one. Police opened fire, killing four civilians and injuring dozens.
Eight anarchist labor leaders were arrested despite no evidence linking them to the bomb. Seven were sentenced to death; four were hanged in 1887, one committed suicide in jail, and three were pardoned in 1893 by Governor Altgeld, who called the trial a miscarriage of justice.
The Haymarket Affair fueled anti-labor and anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. while galvanizing the international labor movement.
In 1889, the Second International designated May 1 as International Workers’ Day to commemorate the event, linking it to May Day protests worldwide.
Went to a May Day protest today. Maybe two dozen people there. Wasn't very loud or especially energetic. Is there really a general strike going on today? Sure doesn't seem like it, at least in my town.
