happy irthday @DBZ4ever!

Like their whole thing is "the whole international order is bullshit" and they're pretty flippant about disregarding international laws and norms, so combine that with extending the reach of their longstanding disregard for ethnic minorities within their own borders and then "it's just a little genocide to repopulate our far east"

I just think they aren't bothering to hide it.

Basically you have to take them out (and clean your teeth before putting them back on) for any food or drink that isn't plain water. You'd think I'd have lost weight in the past few months, but I think I've picked up a couple pounds.

I have an orthodontic retainer in right now, taking them out for cough drops is too much of a pain in the ass

You can't unwind longstanding SCOTUS precedent that taxpayers don't have standing to sue the government by virtue of being taxpayers, otherwise 200 million people would suddenly empowered to use federal courts to individually sue the government because they don't like what it's doing with their tax dollars - the remedy for that is supposed to be elections. The program was specifically crafted in such a conservative manner (taking a year and a half to internally debate the legality of it, cutting out private loans at the last minute, etc.) because they wanted to ensure there was no one with standing to sue.

I've still got a bit of a persistent cough, been a couple days since I tested myself. But more importantly, toddler quarantine ends after tomorrow and I am excited.

The Commission is about to take a public vote to subpoena Trump. Pre-vote, Liz Cheney just walked through everyone who had spoken to Trump directly in connection with Jan 6/election denials and either invoked the fifth or refused to testify.

Alex Jones Second Defamation Trial Underway

he probably eats dogfood recreationally -
I had to look it up cuz you're throwing me for a loop https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Animals_in_the_Pokémon_world most of the references to "real" animals were earlier in the franchise (like the OG anime run) and "Also according to Shudō, real animals went extinct in the Pokémon world years ago and no longer exist. He claimed that instances of real-world animals appearing in earlier episodes of the anime were due to the animation staff not paying enough attention."

the series is inconsistent, like I think the original generation treated a lot of them like animals that would eat each other and stuff, and then everything got anthropomorphized. like the reason you couldn't catch a farfetch'd in the wild and had to find the one NPC who would trade it was because it was eaten to near-extinction. I think gen 5 or one of the later gens (or both) tried to do a tonal reset on that kind of stuff, but unless you show a predator pokemon eating the carcass of a prey Pokemon, the anthropomorphizing will always win out.
