After the cartoons I will share the latest news on SCOTUS.
At last, I’m glad SCOTUS finally stopped tRump…for once. But I doubt they will in the future.
I have to take the four of my black cats to the vet today. That is going to be one hell of a visit from hell. You all have a good day.
This is an open thread.

Bwahahaha….

I want to say, Bob Mackie was the designer of my generation…at least that is what I feel. His designs are a statement of the 70s and 80s. Excessively fabulous. Be safe out there.
I used to watch the Cher show religiously, with my top priority being to see what Mackie created for that week. I have a good friend who used to be a designer for YSL but quit because she couldn’t take the stress of runway shows. They were trying to get her on that show too, but she just was too anxiety-ridden to take all that. She knew him. She said he’s the kindest man that you would ever want to meet.
Definitely, the end of an era is upon us.
Thanks for the memories. I never missed Cher’s or Carol’s shows if I could help it. Great post!
Yes! It was so wonderful to see women headliners on TV. I was so tired of all those old white men singers and comics doing their same schtick over and over and over. Carol and Cher were just so multi-talented and brilliant! When Richard Pryor’s show started, I loved him too.
Samuel Alito: Disenfranchising Millions of Voters Is No Big Deal If Mister Trump Wants ItFor Alito and Thomas, there is no greater injustice than Donald Trump not getting what he wants, when he wants it.
Alito and Thomas could not let this conclusion go unanswered. Alito began his opinion by recasting the rule not as an attempt by Trump to regulate elections per se, but as a coincidentally election-adjacent exercise of the Postal Service’s “broad authority to regulate the mail,” which is, for technical reasons I won’t bore you with here, ostensibly harder to challenge in court. Strangely, the facts that the rule is titled “Ballot Mail for Federal Elections,” and applies to the activities of state “chief election officials,” and says that its primary purpose is protecting the “integrity of federal elections,” and does not implicate any class of mail other than mail-in ballots do not appear anywhere in Alito’s trenchant analysis.
Somehow, the second chunk of Alito’s dissent is even less serious. First, he asserted that the injunction would cause the Trump administration to suffer “irreparable harm” because leaving it in place would “deal a serious setback to the Executive’s goals.” As Alito has done with unsettling frequency over the last several years, he also claimed that the government has a “strong interest” in enforcing the rule in order to “better detect election fraud.”
Old but fun to watch!
On this day in 1963, four girls — Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley — were killed in a KKK bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL. May their souls rest in peace, and may their sacrifice not be in vain
This seems more than convenient.
