Conservatives always have terrible bills ready to go should they get the outcome they want, and liberals rarely have bills ready to go should they get an outcome they don't.

"That's just me"/"That's just how I feel" is an older white woman's way of saying, "I don't feel like thinking about this unpleasant reality."

Any conversation with a middle-aged/older white woman that begins with her saying, "This is just how I feel, but" will be a bunch of problematic bs. Any conversation with a middle-aged/older white woman that ends with her saying, "That's just how I feel" was a bunch of problematic bs. Never fails.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

Also, if you don't mind my asking, how might one get into science writing? I'm desperate to transition from the entertainment industry into something more science educational, conservation/environment.

I guarantee you the conclusion centrists and Carville-esque liberals are going to take from the recent European elections is “OK well we tried but it’s time to throw the immigrants under the bus, there’s no other way to survive.” Some of them have already landed there and the rest are en route.

I taught English lit & comp in community college, and I'd often do this to explain a more complicated idea, but in reverse. I also used it a lot when working for a nonprofit years ago. It's a great way to learn.

Same. The problem is that, as I look around the world, there are a lot of problems all over. Far-right ideology is on the rise in way too many places.

The U.S. doesn't hold the monopoly on this. My point is I wouldn't want to move to any country that has that. Which is a problem, as far-right ideology appears to be on the rise everywhere.

I'm glad Biden spoke about SCOTUS' immunity ruling today from the White House. But at this point, the only statement I want to hear from him is "Give me a firm majority in the House and Senate in November and I'll expand the court."

I am in a one-sided war with the great blue heron who lives at the creek behind my house. By one-sided, I mean he's convinced I'm stalking him and hates me and flies away dramatically every morning, and I'm just trying to go for my morning walk.

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:

The tone of a washed-out A24 horror movie and then dropping Hellboy into it isn't working for me, but I'm hopeful. Or at the very least, neutral.

A death cult motivated by real hatred & fear, yes. They don't care if women die of miscarriage. They don't care if trans people die of suicide. They don't care if Black people die of cops. They don't care if kids die of mass shooters. They don't care if their voters die of Covid. They don't care.

I'm trying to maintain neutral expectations for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, but...boy, that first trailer does not fill me with hope. "Hellboy, but make it an A24 movie" is seemingly not a vibe that works.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Longtime interviewer here, albeit of Hollywood. The third point is a great one. That also goes for any good interviewer. Also, stay on point. Your personality can & should come through, but interviewers have a limited amount of time with you. Cut the rambling and curb the (long-winded) anecdotes.

The thing I think we need to internalize is that voting is in fact a huge part of how you fix this problem. It’s just that I get the sense a lot of people think “voting” only consists of the presidency No, you have to vote in every election on every level. That’s how you start to change a party
