Exactly. You motherfuckers who argued with me about this are stupid. Fuck you all.

7B
Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus 357 Magnum 7in Stainless Pistol.
This is my favorite gun I’ve ever shot. Never owned it myself; it was my dad’s. I could hit damn near anything up to 100 meters with that pistol due to its long barrel and great sights. My dad even had a scope for it, though I preferred shooting it without that.
There used to be a model with an 8 and 3/8″ barrel, but I don’t think they make that one anymore. Never fired that variant, though.
Just thinking about guns a bit because of what’s about to happen in this country.
Roe Gone
Cancer patients who have cancer and are pregnant will now not be able to have an abortion in many states so they can start chemotherapy and save their own life. Think about that. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #IDissent #SaveOurLives #SaveOurRights

I have been. Women will have trouble getting treated in many states for anything because they can potentially be pregnant. It happened pre-Roe and will happen now too.
Crush
A Republican Senator is now tweeting about going back to legal segregation. Please listen to folks who said they would never stop at trans kids, that they would never stop at drag queens, that this is a real, deadly fascist movement that has to be crushed.

The fascists really are gearing up. They’ve been prepping for 50 years and think now is their moment. They may well be right.
Lifetime
Many Americans really did assume Roe would be safe, and pundits – who are mostly white guys – bear a lot of the blame.
Many so-called political experts spent the last 20 years hand-waving away the very idea of Roe falling. And people believed them.

I told people in fucking high school — high school! — that Roe would go down in my lifetime. No one listened. And now here we are. I ain’t dead.

Won’t be long before birth control pills are black market items in a lot of places.
Keep Crying Babies
The average flight from LA to Boston in 1941 was worth >$4,540 per person in today’s money, and would have taken 15 hours and 15 minutes with 12 stops along the way. A nonstop flight in 2022 would cost $288 and take only six hours!

And a buncha whiny libs are crying about this awesomeness to this very fucking day.
Auto
If you're with a partner who does not believe in your total right to bodily autonomy, who is celebrating yesterday's decision, break up with them. If they do not believe in your ownership over yourself and your right to control who has access to your body, that is a red flag.
— Elizabeth May/Katrina Kendrick (@_ElizabethMay) June 25, 2022
Exactly right. He won’t ever respect you if he doesn’t grant you basic bodily autonomy. Leave that sucker; abuser in training.
If Life Gives You Liminal
Next up: this illegitmate, stolen court will dismantle the federal regulatory apparatus on Monday.
This will push each state to have to implement its own wildly different environmental and regulatory regimes.
They’re going to literally destroy the country. /1

One of the few people who understands what is about to happen, and the broad outlines of what will occur (and why/how).
Now, this will be in the “never happen” category. Soon, it will be “obvious.”
Decidable
“In this section, we prove one of the most philosophically important theorems of the theory of computation: There is a specific problem that is algorithmically unsolvable. Computers appear to be so powerful that you may believe that all problems will eventually yield to them. The theorem presented here demonstrates that computers are limited in a fundamental way.
What sorts of problems are unsolvable by computer? Are they esoteric, dwelling only in the minds of theoreticians? No! Even some ordinary problems that people want to solve turn out to be computationally unsolvable.
In one type of unsolvable problem, you are given a computer program and a precise specification of what that program is supposed to do (e.g., sort a list of numbers). You need to verify that the program performs as specified (i.e., that it is correct). Because both the program and the specification are mathematically precise objects, you hope to automate the process of verification by feeding these objects into a suitably programmed computer. However, you will be disappointed. The general problem of software verification is not solvable by computer.”

Fallo
This morning I woke up to a story: a woman who walked into a ER with an ectopic pregnancy. She lived in a state with trigger laws. She had to wait nine hours while her doctor consulted a lawyer. She almost died.
So pro-life folk, did you actually consider ramifications of this?

And so it begins.
No Fait
We are not ready (and by we, I include me) to accept that casual, reliable business or air travel is over. It's not coming back. It is going to take some time to accept. We're only at stage 1 or 2 (denial, anger) or at most 3 (bargaining w airlines on Twitter) of Kübler-Ross

Like most things, this is a choice that dumbasses like this are telling us is fait accompli. They just like taking things away, really. That’s all it is.
Serious
My regular friends "do you think they will really go after gay marriage"
My lawyer friends "Do you think women owning property in their own name is clearly established? It was not at the time of the signing of the 14th, would a trust survive?"
— Melissa Hall (@CasualLaw) June 26, 2022
Indeed. Things are getting serious now.
Ruins
Childhood obesity ruined my life. DON’T overfeed your kids!!! PLEASE!
Ten million Fat Acceptance nutters scream as one….
