Nice job helping me finally understand an idiom after decades of hearing it and not realizing it wasn't brass tax.

Does the value of canceling actually factor into your decision? I'm more of the mindset that it's something to do based on principles rather than outcomes. Not a Disney sub though so I have neither as it relates to this other than to say I won't be a new customer.
The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

It's not anything worth reading about, you are the wiser than me on this front.
We're happy to have you over here, don't bother with this other place.
That's nice, you are pretty good at quite a few things. Do you play music too?
I don't follow you (not for any reason in particular so don't take this the wrong way) and yes you show up in my Discover feed a lot. I typically read/like and move on.
i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is
Does he though?
Fast forward 3 months version of Jason Chaffetz: Turns out... I'm wrong, it wasn't a trans shooter. But I'll never actually follow up on any of this or publicly admit that.
The transcare thing was pretty bad but don't forget about his own personal stance on gun violence: "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.
@scalzi.com what say you?

I sat with this for a bit after hearing the news and you know what, fuck it. He isn't worth the time I spent even thinking about whether or not I have a double standard right now. That shit is worthy of others but not him.

If a team is really successful at stopping the run. That can play a psychological trick when it comes to play action. They are so happy to stop yet another run, they don't stop to think it might not be a run at all.
This isn't another step toward, we're fully there. This is another step further INTO fascism. Keep fighting.
Hey, look at the silver lining. They might surprise you with a 5-4.
No more Bill Clinton trading cards.
Just sitting back, eating some popcorn, watching people attempt to make the Supreme Court’s decision that racial profiling is ok for the purpose of ethnic cleansing about something else that makes them feel more comfortable.

Don't worry folks, just keep everything coming from every other country to under $100 purchases and we're all gonna be fine.
Some services that lower income families use are tied to apps on their phones but I'm not sure how drastically a ban would cause "chaos" when they can't access those services during the school day. Would need more specifics to understand the argument. Generally, this doesn't seem like class warfare
The White House has so much faith in Ghislaine Maxwell they've hired her to be the first ever White House Babysitter. Ope, nope.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

I get it, they're so ugly in the wild that when I see one my brain floods with questions, anxiety, rage, etc. all at the same time. I'm surprised I haven't hit one yet on sight out of shear paralysis.
it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

I get that the whole point of this post is to dunk on Rs, but I would encourage everyone to re-evaluate the need to eat meat or even protein at every single meal. It isn't necessary and eating vegetables is so much better for you, the planet, and your wallet.

The irony of his technologies - which he claims will emancipate humans or something - actually causing us to not be able to see out our own cosmic windows is palpable.
Keir Starmer and the UK threatening to recognize Palestine as a state to get Israel to release aid is like threatening to house the homeless to get a city to build more low income housing. Like dude, why aren't you just doing the right thing anyways?
"Dems almost certainly CANNOT take the Senate" Not with that attitude. Srsly though,if we don't run Dems in every Senate race next year, what are we even doing? I don't expect to win them, but the strategy of shrugging and giving up cause DNC doesn't want to bankroll a candidate is how we got here

Well, introspection never was their strong suit.
This is the equivalent of requiring casinos to have windows and clocks. Fully support this.
I don't believe they seek power to hide, I believe they seek power because the act of manipulating others is their drug of choice.They get drunk on power and sexual predation (of children or others) is simply another arm of that behavior that has developed for them over time. The hiding comes after.

I don't say this as a personal affront, but if you get so many notifications on your phone that you need AI to help you summarize them, you are getting too many notifications.
This is the only correct response.
"The neighboring country offers not only logistical strengths and political neutrality but also greater stability in terms of immigration policies." This line saddens me because when we were awarded the games these were all things we had.
Pro tip: order the kids burger (which at every restaurant I've ever been to has been the same size as the adult burger) and get a 50 cent discount, and free fries. I promise you won't really miss the other flavors they put on the grown up one.

One of the pandas even looks like it's eating a taco, it doesnt get much better than that.
The problem is this requires a good faith campaign to be run by both candidates and from what I've seen I wouldn't trust Cuomo to not turn every conversation into racist Islamophobic talking points. Mamdani constantly posts on various platforms about his policies. Cuomo not so much.
The Epstein files don’t exist… but also they were on Pam Bondi’s desk... but we aren’t releasing them because again, they’re not real... but if they were real, Obama/Biden/Clinton wrote them.

Hang in there. Not an 03 voter but happy you're running. My advice is to focus on communicating policy every chance you get, everything else is just distractions. Any plans on a debate or even a panel discussion with Rebecca?

I agree with your sentiments, but it's quite common to not provide links to Twitter so as not to generate traffic to it.
We had a special needs guinea pig for a while where we basically had to have a nurse rotation in our family for about a year and a half before she crossed the rainbow bridge. I know the feeling.
So I guess our response to a constitutional crisis and the collapse of democracy is just "venting"...

Did you read the article at all!? “To be clear,” Piedmont said, “GOAL is welcome to march without weapons like every other contingent and we welcome them to join us as we march to protect trans youth, advocate for full equality and stand in proud defiance of the attacks our community is facing.”
