and my dear #cats, Kentucky and Louisiana! Welcome and nice to meet you!

Hellooooo Mspsocial! Nice to meet you! I'm Josh. I like reading, gaming, and many other things.

Here are the living beings that depend on me, Kentucky cat and Louisiana cat. Kentucky is from Kentucky, has no teeth, and enjoys chasing her toys. Louisiana's origin is unknown, but that was her name at the Minneapolis shelter so it seemed like fate. She enjoys waking me up in the morning to feed her.

I'm Josh and trying to figure out how to be a lawyer.

I have two cats, Kentucky and Louisiana.

I post about the Court, USPol, puzzles, my cats, and whatever media catches my fancy.

🎵 What can I say except fuck you 🎵

I don't particularly want to watch the debates because the only thing activating right now is the morbid curiosity center of my brain.

Well fuck it. They're interesting to me, and if you want a relationship with me, you're going to get 'em.

Made a conscious effort to call my mom yesterday and talk with her for a half hour. I made a list of topics and then when she asked about them, I talked about them. Talked to her about playing D&D, which I never did before. Going to continue to do that because one thing I am not good at doing is telling her about my hobbies and interests, because I think I was told (either through her or my dad) that they weren't interesting.

Can Nancy Pelosi redirect her emailing team to impeaching the president again, please.

Listening to an interview where they were talking to 18-20 year olds about who they were voting for. Trump supporting 20 year old, if the only thing you can say to the interviewer after they ask why you're supporting Trump is to hesitantly say, "He supports me . . . values. And the Electoral College gives me a voice," I'd hazard you value you little except anti-democracy.

Funny how you are able to see my emails when your boss forwards them to you.

So glad we have to depend on the largesse of billionaires just so people can access their basic right to vote.

Anyway, I hope these 32k people aren't stopped from voting for other bullshit reasons.

Just reading about election doomsday scenarios and possible flavors of civil war, like one does in a crumbling society.

Republicans have no incentive to behave in a conciliatory or compromising way with Dems. Bipartisanship? Civility? Fuck off. Those things don't get them votes, it doesn't get them money, it doesn't get them power. Until it does any of those things, it won't happen.

Power understands power. I guess I'm a supervillain now.

It's about power and it's going to remain about power until something breaks, sorry. Maybe it's pessimistic of me, but we're in a death spiral and I don't think there's a way to pull out of it before the crash.

Yeah sure, what a reasonable plan. Sure glad we have so many reasonable actors. https://time.com/5891217/ginsburg-scotus-raw-power-principles/

Giving the cat kisses to the downbeat of Spider Dance.

The party that likes to make up rules and norms would like to appoint a Justice that makes up laws. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/09/rbg-vacant-seat-merrick-garland-mcconnell-principles.html?via=taps_top

is dead!

The DM prepares.

To Ravenloft once more this afternoon.

I've said this before, but DT could do a lot to heal the country--and it's certainly not enough or could ever be enough--if he appointed a Justice that the Democrats suggested. It'd probably even help his election prospects, because it would turn down everything a notch.

He won't though.
