BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

No, no, but this is important.

Right? It had no right to be as good as it was.

Photo of a Townsend's Solitaire perched at the top of a juniper by Charles Gates. Text on the photo says "Unsolicited Bird Fact: If Townsend's Solitaires drank cocktails, their drink of choice would probably be a gin and tonic. During the winter they eat almost exclusively juniper berries. During the breeding season, solitaires move into higher elevation (or latitude) coniferous forests where they feed primarily on insects.
If we knew anything we'd make a gin and name it after these elegant birds.

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. πŸͺΆ

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

Yeah, I was super pissed when I wanted to buy a Small Truck and they didn’t make any! I eventually wound up with a Nissan Frontier which is still bigger than a Tacoma, but not utterly grotesque.

Those little Tacomas were amazing.

If Dolly were to give a press conference and announce she has a surprise, and then tear off her human skin to reveal herself as Trogdora the Burninator, about half of Bluesky (Yr Hmbl Crrspd't included) would immediately swear fealty to her and join whatever crusade she was leading.

If the truck is not covered in scratches and mud and does not have some questionable detritus in the bed, the other trucks make fun of it in the parking lot.

She grew up in poverty and remembers.

If anybody local in Britain can help, or knows someone who can…

What I just finished reading: Snake Eater by @tkingfisher.com . A nice story about a woman reinventing herself after leaving a bad relationship. Then the folk horrors start gazing into her windows. Cue shotguns.

<sighs>Why did I even attempt to expect anything else?

Yes, but only by being shipped to a birthday party. Other piΓ±atas occasionally kill and eat weaker ones and there is a cheer and candy but the piΓ±atas don’t like that.

I think it’s that I’m so used to software becoming obsolete over the years that it doesn’t faze me like some other things. I couldn’t play Dungeon Master 2 these days without an emulator and downloads either. And I’m on Steam anyhow.

I know I should care more about that than I do, but I think the ship has sailed.
