+	Down with the sickness
+
+	I tested positive for COVID-19 last night so it looks like I'm stuck at
+home for the next couple days. Between my Soylent stash (for the end of the
+world) and my water stash (for the end of the world) I don't even need to dip
+into my savings, so that's nice.
+
+	Yesterday the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade,
+marking the first time the Court has ever decided to take away Constitutional
+rights. Four of the majority were men, joined by one woman, and the dissenting
+opinion was written by two women and one man. No Supreme Court justice is under
+half a century old.

+REPORT: JUSTICE ALITO CONSIDERING ADDING EXCEPTION FOR HIS DAUGHTER, WHO IS IN
+COLLEGE AND WHOSE LIFE COULD BE 'RUINED' BY MISTAKE
+
+By TRINITY BLAKE; 2022-05-04
+
+WASHINGTON (AP) -- As women across the country fear losing access to safe and
+legal abortion, reports are coming in that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
+is considering making a major exception to the court's decision to overturn
+the historic 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the
+United States.
+
+Justice Alito has reportedly informed an anonymous source that he 'screwed up'
+and that though he believes abortion should be illegal, '[his daughter] isn't
+like all those [expletive] who will go out and [expletive] and then just roll
+up to a clinic and abort a living child'.
+
+In Alito's reported words, 'Having this child could ruin my daughter's career.
+She made one mistake. She isn't like the others!' Alito went on to say that
+while doctors who perform abortions are still murderers, '[his daughter] is
+different. She just is. I wouldn't expect you to understand.'
+
+The exception, being called by critics 'Alito's folly', is expected to appear
+in Alito's third draft opinion. Alito's second draft opinion broadened the
+allowed language to 'better describe' what Alito called 'party idiots who don't
+care about human life'.
+
+This wouldn't be the first time a Supreme Court Justice has added an exception
+to a seemingly concrete ruling. In Plessy v. Ferguson the often-overlooked tenth
+'diversity' Justice, George Freeman, added an exception to the famous 'separate
+but equal' rule; 'While I'm required to like segregation in order to maintain
+my position in this Court, I do not want to use the colored bathrooms. Shop-
+owners never clean them.'
+
+The anonymous source also said after Alito drives his daughter home from
+Planned Parenthood he plans to continue protesting that same location in his
+'special disguise' - sunglasses and a baseball cap.

+	Dangerous ideas
+
+	Perhaps the homelessness problem in the United States would be taken
+care of if any domicile not occupied were given to someone who wasn't
+previously occupying a domicile. Is it so bad to force a child to share toys
+with which they never play?
+	A mowed lawn resembles a soldier's buzz cut hair. Fine, but I wouldn't
+want to date an army man. I would prefer to let the lawn-spiders, the bees and
+milkweed, and the butterflies and things like that have a home.
+	I deleted my /politics page because I learned people actually read it.
+Though it loosely reflects my current beliefs, enough that I'm not embarrassed
+by it, I'm uncomfortable at the thought of anyone actually caring about what I
+believe. Here are the good bits from it:
+
+	I don't hold public office. Don't fret about my beliefs, they probably
+		won't ever affect you.
+
+	BITCHUTE
+
+	I tried to swap from YouTube to this site back in 2019(? maybe 2020).
+		The site administration has let it get infested with right-wing
+		puppets and various other muck. Plus all my favorite channels
+		left. So I can't really recommend it. Looks like everyone's
+		using PeerTube now, my only concern with that is data
+		resiliency - can hobbyists keep their instances going with the
+		same dependability as YouTube?
+
+	CEREAL
+
+    	The milk goes after the cereal into the bowl.
+    	Corn flakes aren't that bad, despite their origins.
+    	Cereal with coffee instead of milk is pretty good.
+    	Soggy cereal beats out freshly poured cereal most of the time.
+		Exceptions are maybe Cocoa Pebbles and Cheerios. Life cereal is
+		especially good soggy.
+    	The last powdery bits of the cereal are much better than the initial
+		big bits. A lot of that powder is sugar and it sweetens the
+		milk.
+    	Bag cereal is just as good as box cereal. Taste-wise they're identical
+		and they're about the same effort to pour because the boxes
+		have bags in them too. The only con to bagged is that a greater
+		amount of cereals are boxed (e.g. there are no off-brand
+		Wheaties where I am) and boxes have cool puzzles on the back
+		(though now that I'm not a wee lass I do have a cellphone on
+		which I play Konami Picross instead). 
+
+	WRONGSPEAK AND WRONGTHINK     
+
+	If you're unaffected by a slur you probably shouldn't use it, even in
+		an educational or non-hateful context.
+	There are some words I'd now consider hateful I used to use without
+		reserve.
+	Personally I don't use hateful language because I don't think it's
+		justifiable. However, if you're okay with offending people,
+		consider this - you cannot grow in your understanding of the
+		world if you don't communicate with people with whom you
+		disagree. You're really going to prioritize hateful speech over
+		self development?
+	If you go on my platform and say things with which I disagree, I should
+		not have to host your opinions.
+
+	Most of my regrets involving political speech involve saying either too
+little or too much, which is nice, because at least I didn't support some
+stupendously awful cause that ended up killing everyone or something. Maybe
+right now I am doing that without realizing, but I hope not.
