@Ronnie My neighbor and I were just explaining to my husband that he is too old for that. Unfortunately, he really likes heights, so he’ll probably keep climbing through his 70s.
It's the first time Fani Willis has argued before Judge McAfee since she filed charges against Trump & 18 others.
It’s also the first time in US history that testimony about the 💩 emoji has been elicited in a criminal case involving a former president.

“They love Israel for the possibility of ethnic cleansing at home – remove Jews from Euro-American Christian spaces and send them elsewhere – and also for the apocalyptic implications, which lead to a specific Christian victory and the elimination of all other religions.”
2/ Pagliery:
Dennis Fan, a sr asst solicitor gen at AG's office, notes that "a single justice" hit pause on 4 orders forcing Trump to shut up.
He says it's imperative to gag Trump ASAP—esp before the trial is over next month.
Fan says the 1st Amendment doesn't apply if Trump "threatens the safety of the court’s staff."
"Courts have the power to impose reasonable restrictions on both litigants & their attorneys during ongoing proceedings when necessary to safeguard those important interests."

Wow. Really...

@RickiTarr I gotta mute today’s question answers. I just want to scream at the respondents for being dumb, not knowing how to look up a pronunciation, and not knowing how to use a phonetic alphabet. /rant See ya tomorrow.

Explosion on the Rainbow Bridge connecting New York and Ontario at Niagara. Reports from the scene say a car crashed into the toll booth and exploded. Despite the misinformation machine on Twitter, there's no confirmation that this was a car *bomb* (though, of course, that's possible.) Niagara Gazette has some good reporting form the ground: https://www.niagara-gazette.com/news/local_news/update-witnesses-saw-smoke-fire-from-vehicle-at-rainbow-bridge/article_eb3ffec8-8957-11ee-93e5-cf9e52289455.html
@DrPsyBuffy I don't think it's concerted. I think it's just widespread laziness and dismissiveness. This summer I came down with some awful virus, and suspected West Nile because it has been observed in my area. I was tested for covid & flu but they had no interest in pursuing it further, telling me it probably wasn't West Nile because that's rare. Of course, if you don't test for it, your statistics will show that it's rare. I expect similar attitudes to covid in many areas.
A police state or fascism. What's the difference?
