@gaghyogi49 It was only in the last few days that I learned that The Comic had a name. The bright side to this little bit of Star Trek trivia having escaped me all these decades is that I got to learn something new!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

@KyleClark Amdt. J only removed the marriage ban from the CO Constitution, did not replace it with marriage protection. Currently, Brinkman v. Long and Obergefell v. Hodges protect marriage, but if Obergefell gets reversed, Brinkman likely would also. Legislature is last line of defense.

1/ An open letter to the single-issue pro-life voter, written by my friend Zah. I told him I'd be happy to share his words with my audience here on Twitter:

What do you want more: For abortion to be illegal? Or for fewer abortions to occur? 🧵

@marceelias Ironic that their complaint had a typo in the requirements for a poll worker: "able to reda [sic], write, and speak the English language" (see ⁋9), when they were supposedly quoting from statute, which doesn't have the typo.
