If the code of conduct is so meaningless that it allows a situation where a justice receives a $260,000 truck as a gift from a billionaire with business before the court, that's obviously not something that will restore credibility.

If the justices cannot put a meaningful code of conduct in place for themselves, then Congress should.

But we’ll obviously need a different Congess to do that.

The Supreme Court’s new ethics code is an unenforceable joke-

New York Times: "There are more Americans who say they have serious cognitive problems than at any time in the last 15 years, data from the Census Bureau shows. Researchers point to long Covid as a major cause."

You can ignore COVID, but COVID will not ignore you.

Here's another important chart showing there are far more employed disabled Americans since COVID because (a) remote work made employment more accessible & (b) more workers became newly disabled.

We need to continue remote work & increase structural supports for disabled people.

TIL After leaving NASA in 1971, Neil Armstrong named his farm for a valley described in "The Lord of the Rings" and chose an email address with a Tolkien theme. There is a theory he based his One Small Step quote on "The Hobbit"

Watching announcement if new tech sector layoffs the last few days. I'm nearly a year unemployed, and hanging on by the skin of my teeth. And I'm beginning to think things are looking a bit hopeless.

I'd like to pivot out, but I don't think I'm going to be able to keep the apartment if I do as I'd have to restart at entry level.....

I'm 26 years into my transition, and 23 years into hormones. My "second puberty" has LONG since finished. But sometimes, I get these wierd little "Oh, that's new" sensations, even after all this time.

The other day, I found a jacket I really liked, but because of my gigantic rib cage, they only one that would fit was cut for men. It was nice enough that I tried it on anyways. Then I zipped it up.

Sure, it fit around my waist and stomach, and even my shoulders. But because it had no room for breasts, it really pressed down on them. And while it didn't hurt, it was this wierd "constraint" feeling I've never had before.

It was something that, since I transitioned BEFORE I started hormones, I'd never experienced before, and even twenty three years later was something new to me. :)

I'll never stop experiencing changes, it seems. And I'm okay with that.

I hate eye appointments where they dialate your eyes. They never feel right for the rest of the day.

The media is finally starting to report Trump’s statements for what they are: Fascist. He’s using Hitler’s own words about “vermin” and immigrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans. He’s calling for mass detention of migrants and threatening to come after his political enemies and seek retribution if re-elected. He must never be. America’s future is on the line. We all must do our part and vote.
