My kids took the bus, but some days I needed to pick them up. I quickly realized that if I arrived 10 minutes after dismissal I would sail through the line. When I passed this tip to another mom, she said “but then they’ll be one of the last kids picked up.” We did not become mom friends.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

On this day in 1967, Louis Armstrong released his iconic single "What a Wonderful World." It was initially a flop in the US but became a global anthem of hope after being featured in the film Good Morning, Vietnam.

One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

The goal is supposed to be rewarding once you get there. The process usually isn't. Is this confusing somehow? It's like the DoorDash discourse. You will not have amazing food unless you learn how to cook it and do so, or unless you pay someone else to do it for you. Instant gratification costs

as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER
