Where do I fight this encroaching fascism. Where do I start? All the usual political activities seem so inadequate- voting, GOTV, donating, talking to people, registering voters, etc etc- it all seems rather quaint now. Take to the streets? Never seems to work. Organize when our party would rather go after its own members than trump? Everything is broken. Someone send me a roadmap.
@trinsec It's supposed to hit 102F this weekend.

KITTENS IN NEED OF HOME (PORTLAND, OR)
A student tells me:
--
My partner and I found these stray kittens on the corner of SW Terwilliger and SW Barbur Blvd. We named them Cereal (white/grey) and Concrete (grey). Attached are a few pictures of the pair!
We are currently trying to find them a forever home! Both kittens are about 8 weeks old. From a vet trip we learned that Cereal is a girl and Concrete is a boy. Cereal is very adventurous/curious. Concrete is super affectionate and will crawl into your lap for a nap. According to the vet, they're perfectly fine to be separated from each other.

Please contact me if you're interested.
@KarenStrickholm The Indiana GOP seems to have a recurring problem in this area.

@KarenStrickholm That does sound redundant, unless it's someone you don't follow.
@KarenStrickholm I've always interpreted "mutuals" the first way.
This is not the first time a congressperson from Indiana has been caught with a gun at an airport and claimed they didn't realize it was in their luggage, because guns are like pencils to them.

This is Long Meg.
She lives in beautiful Northumberland and has done so for aeons.
Her daughters are all with her too but they're not so tall. Some are lying down, having a snooze. Long Meg stands almost 4 metres high.
It's a beautiful area.

Breaking: The Biden campaign explores whether Biden could shore up his base’s support by becoming a convicted felon like it worked for Donald Trump and his base.
@MissingThePt Biden: *walks into convenience store with a handgun he obviously just borrowed from one of the Secret Service agents standing behind him* This is a stick-up. No joke. Hand over your simoleons. I'm not messin' around here.
Clerk:
Biden: *gestures at pornographic magazine* That reminds me of the time...
Jill: *puts hand on his shoulder, shakes her head*
Biden: *sighs* Throw in all your lottery tickets and some hooch.
@futurebird ... and he's totally a flight risk. If they tell him, "eight years, report next week", he'll fly to Scotland and declare himself President in Exile.
@futurebird What they mustn't do is give him just a little prison time. A month starting now would might win him the election.
... or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the only people buying his "help, help, I'm being repressed" line are cultists who will definitely vote for him anyway. Maybe the inability to campaign would let people slow down and think about what he's done.
@trinsec I do, but it's hard to know because nobody would do it with anyone else around.
Security hole:
You go to log into, say, your bank's website.
The bank sends a 6-digit security code to your phone.
You subvocalize it so you can remember it long enough to type it into your laptop.
Someone is listening through your already-compromised microphone.

The night skies were clear for the briefest of windows last night, so I dug out my camera and pointed it up. #astrophotography
