Let me help you.

“The Senate Intelligence Committee has received and reviewed intelligence related to the attack on al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. Based on this information, we feel confident that the explosion was the result of a failed rocket launch by militant terrorists and not the result of an Israeli airstrike.” -- statement from committee chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) and vice chair Marco Rubio (R-FL)

Sorry took these a while ago but couldn’t get a post out for a while.

Demonstrators have been chanting and praying for a while, and now are being arrested.

Also chants of “not in our name!” And “free free Palestine!”

FYI, Patrick McHenry, the pro temp of the House, and the apparent caretaker-speaker, is a GOP hack from way back. He was a Rove stooge for the 2000 bush campaign, and created and ran the “NotHillary.com” site. Here’s a 2005 profile that’s 100% cringeworthy.

That makes sense.

@GottaLaff

So. Boss just called to tell me that the libraries have had a FOIA request for any emails having to do with #BannedBooksWeek. I wasn't on the committee for it, but I did organize an event in conjunction with the public library for it. I suppose it could be someone looking to praise us for our efforts, but somehow I doubt it and I expect this to mean trouble. #BookBans #Florida

@RickiTarr Also, in terms of disability, we should stop pretending that they don't exist. I like to watch a British gardening show called Gardeners World, and the visibility is off the charts: one of the presenters is a "thalidomide baby" without arms, who is charming and a very competent gardener. There is a family with two daughters with Down syndrome, and they are skilled gardeners and delightful people. Many times they've featured gardens of wheelchair-bound people. None of this in the US...

“Opposition grows” is a phrase I love to read in relation to Jim Jordan. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-67149185

Fun things to do with dogs as they approach middle age.

Watching Jim Jordan fail repeatedly and spectacularly to become Speaker of the House is the kind of feel-good news story I think we all needed this week.

make collaborative office apps more like multiplayer videogames, you cowards, cont:

* i'm a fucking level 80+ google docs user don't put me in a fucking doc with someone who centers text with spaces or tabs, or can't type faster and 60wpm

* battle royale mode for google slides/keynote where every 5 minutes the meeting keeps going a slide gets deleted

* departments/groups are actually clans and you can properly set up eg 5x5 deathmatch meetings to set okrs
