So Im a bit confused at the ending as its the adult who played the kid, no? At least thats how I learned but it was my older brother who did the trick. Man I think shes in her forties even if it was two years ago (Ived discussed before the time gap thing she does with content involving her kids) and I can't imagine keeping the sprint for that stuff at that age. Not that I have actually ever done it but I think the reason it was my brother was because neither of my parents were up to that kind of thing at the age they were.

Unfortunately Pritzker's original post I think is on facebook so this seemed the least offensive source. I love this guy.

Hope this is kosher but I can't think of where else to post. Anyway man I have been seeing more join the military commercials and in particular a marine one is disturbing as fuck sounding. Anyone else seeing this?

EDITED - searching around man just the marine youtube channel and whats been coming out in the last month:

this is the one I saw that got me to post today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ot5tToz9BE

So the saturday ones do this non sequitor stuff and lately it has been things said by certain kinds of folks in our current times. I normally don't post weekends but I don't recognize where this came from. Anyway does anyone know who said this one as I apparently missed the news item or more likely Xit (or would it still be called a tweet?) or whatever

Boy second day in a row. I usually don't paste the artists comments. I figure that is a bonus for people who go to the site and I assume that somehow supports the artist but this one I think it helps with context so here it is:

"Kids are a great distraction from doom scrolling but also a powerful incentive to fight for a better society."

This is from a new york times gift article from the nyt.

TikTok ban

What the administration did

• Ordered the Justice Department not to enforce a ban on TikTok for 75 days and to notify the app and its business partners that defying the law is no criminal offense.

What it could be violating

• Law barring TikTok from operating in the United States unless and until its Chinese owner sells it.

Foreign aid freeze

What the administration did

• Required blanket temporary freeze on most foreign aid.

What it could be violating

• The longer it lasts, blocking congressionally approved spending comes into greater tension with Impoundment Control Act.

Domestic grants freeze

What the administration did

• The Office of Management and Budget ordered agencies to carry out a blanket temporary freeze up to $3 trillion in domestic grants and other government spending.

What it could be violating

• The freeze has been temporarily blocked by two courts after plaintiffs raised challenges, including provisions in the Administrative Procedure Act and First Amendment rights.

U.S. Agency for International Development

What the administration did

• Moved to apparently dismantle the agency and fold its functions into the State Department, including by making Secretary of State Marco Rubio its acting director.

What it could be violating

• A law in which Congress created U.S.A.I.D. and structured it as a stand-alone entity.

Inspectors general

What the administration did

• Summarily fired 17 inspectors general, the watchdog officials who hunt for waste, fraud, abuse and illegality in government agencies.

What it could be violating

• A law that says presidents have to give Congress 30 days’ notice and a written “substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” before any such removal.

National Labor Relations Board

What the administration did

• Summarily fired a Democratic member of the independent agency before her term was up, paralyzing the board by leaving it without a quorum.

What it could be violating

• A law that says presidents may only remove board members “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause.”

Federal prosecutors

What the administration did

• Summarily fired prosecutors involved in the cases against President Trump or the Jan. 6 rioters.

What it could be violating

• Civil service job protections against arbitrarily firing federal workers without a good cause and without hearings before the Merit System Protection Board.

Birthright citizenship

What the administration did

• Declared that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment will no longer be interpreted as granting citizenship to babies born on U.S. soil to undocumented parents or other visitors and instructed agencies not to issue citizenship-affirming documents, like Social Security cards, to such infants.

What it could be violating

• The longstanding understanding that the 14th Amendment does grant citizenship to such infants; a federal judge has barred agencies from obeying this order for now.

So being a non breeder type I don't have experience with this but it is wierd to think that I might have learned the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom as it just feels something akin to hunger. Which now makes me wonder if we had to learn that hunger means we should eat?

So there is this film the gorge https://feddit.uk/post/21188415 and there was this anime where they had a team that goes down a hole in the artic or something and fights demon things and it feels to me that is what this movie is about unless Im misunderstanding the previews.

I don't usually paste the artists comment from the site but given the cartoon I feel I should on this one:

"Red cabbage, apple, carrot, cranberries, raisins, whatever nuts, cashews, pistachios, sesame covered almonds, Tajin, milk, (bear with me) apple cider, mayonnaise. So, technically, it’s a slaw. But I had a half cabbage to dispose of."

One of my pet peeves is places don't want to send me physical mail which would be fine if they would email me a pdf for electronic delivery but no. Their electronic delivery is an email that says come to our site and login and download it. Its like if the physical mail was a post card saying to drive to the office and ask for a printout.

Wow 66. The parents in the strip I think are in their 40's. I found sometime in my 40's and maybe even late 30's I seemed to get colder easier year after year. Our temp is set to 69 which is partially because I find it funny but does just work. My wife is always cold and we have had a lot of conversations around this topic. My rule I will not budge on is that we should be colder in the winter and hotter in the summer. I have known so many folks that want their house 70 when its 100 degrees outside but 74 when its 0 degrees outside. Which is just nuts to me. 69 is basically a bit cold for us but it works with blankets and our heating system is electric so in the daytime we use portable heaters actually to feel comfortable in the space we are in. Bathrooms can be cold and we hope to get in floor heating. I sorta wonder if they have radiant heat as when we have had it we found lower temps felt more comfortable than our forced air system.
