Dad, Dork, Registered Nurse. I climb rocks, ride bikes, run on trails. I read books, and sometimes I write. He/him. Cis male, heterosexual, but not a dick. Trans rights are human rights. I stand with Planned Parenthood.

Presently a Hospice Nurse, before that, a Covid Nurse. Before that, theatrical rigging.

@GottaLaff This may be presumptuous of me, I'm just a Registered Nurse with some Stong Opinions, but I feel like John Roberts doesn't understand the danger and the precariousness of the current moment in history, as it relates to the survival of this Republic and of his Court.

Supreme Court Thursday cleared the way for a National Rifle Association lawsuit against a former New York state official over claims she violated its free-speech rights.

The unanimous opinion reverses a lower court decision tossing out the gun rights group’s lawsuit against ex-New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo.

@GottaLaff I also (a ny-er) has no idea this law was on the books in this state. But a Federal judge ruled, so the ruling should apply to Georgia and other states, correct?

The Washington Post is about to lurch sharply to the right politically as former Murdoch apparatchik solidifies his grip on the organization. Current editor Buzbee is out, and he's bringing in people from Murdoch's Wall Street Journal and the Telegraph (right-wing UK news org).

@dangillmor So where the heck am I supposed to get my news from on a daily basis?? NPR has become far too dumbed-down and 'both sides'; NYT is increasingly a Trump rag and anti trans to boot; WAPO lurching to the right, becoming a subsidiery of Fox, that doesn't leave a lot of reasonable options...

“What would be informative: A minute or two of unedited video showing Trump’s rambling, incoherent and deranged rants. Rather than merely “fact check” the nonsense blizzard, reports can explore the unprecedented nature of his rhetoric, illustrate the deterioration in his thinking and speech, and discuss how an obviously irrational and unhinged leader casts a spell over his devoted following.” How to report on the election — https://wapo.st/45d5wpk

@heidilifeldman please forward this to the NY Times, whose editors seem focused on Biden's age, and on sketchy unfavorable polls as front-page news.

@GottaLaff Nope nope nope. And I will be calling my MOC (Pat Ryan, D) and telling him to boycot, which he won't, because he is one of those Ds. I'm also calling Pat Ryan today to tell him that the US needs to stop supplying Israel bombs, because I cannot stomach paying for bombs to be dropped on schools.

I'm pretty sure (er, fairly sure?) that SCOTUS will rule that Presidents do not have god/king-like lifetime immunity from prosecution. What I'm more interested in is this: will it be a unanimous decision? Who will dissent, and what is their argument? Will anybody recuse themselves, Clarence Thomas?

@tersenurse@mastodon.social avatar

I took my son climbing in the Gunks for the 4th time on Sunday. We did a route called Gelsa. He panicked on the top part of the route, which is very exposed. He left all my gear still in the rock. We made it to the top just as it became pitch black, and walked back to the car in the darkness. By the time I rapelled the route the next morning, all my climbing gear had been removed. $600 or $800 of gear gone that I can't really afford to replace.

I ran a 5k yesterday. My gps watched crapped out on me, and the official results haven't posted, but my time was something like 30:11. Which was GREAT for me. I hadn't run in almost a month d/t inured ankle. I would like to run a sub-30 5k, and be able to do a 10k without ruining my body.
