I want aggressive ads for 2024 which explain how the Supreme Court works, why Roe was overturned "on Biden's watch," and what might still happen in the court bc we have really fallen down on both civics and messaging.

A major surfing corporation cut an ad with the only out trans woman in surfing. Advocates for hate and bigotry complained. So they took it down. This is a story an incredibly accomplished mainstream writer tried hard to place in mainstream media. They weren't interested. We were.

I trimmed the description in that sequence because suspension of disbelief broke. You had to believe, and the truth was too much.

I recall being quite struck by your observation that Americaā€™s holy sites are roadside attractions. I was near Rte 11 in VA at the time ā€“ close to Foamhenge, natural bridge, and two hours from Blacksburg. Real pilgrimage location. Wonderful book. Made to visit House on the Rock when I moved to MN.

Aw. Maybe he had a crush on somebody (human, feline, whatever) at the vet office and wanted a plausible excuse to visit them. A plausible $500 excuse, but, y'know.

The rock-solid secret behind Trump's fundraising strategy: scare old people initially, get automatic recurring payments from people with dementia and trick people into thinking they're donating to somebody else. This is charitably called "the televangelist model" and more accurately called "fraud"

My favorite quote from my daughter: she asked for ravioli for dinner, not realizing she thought she meant bow tie pasta (farfalle). When she got to the table and saw the ravioli, she gazed forlornly into the middle distance and flatly intoned, ā€œIā€™ve been such a fool.ā€

Those saying she's gonna destroy it should be aware that she technically already has one U-Boat kill to her name. She somehow managed to get up onto a shelf and smash my Type VII Cobi U-Boat a few weeks back.

Thank the gods that torties are not the size of kaiju. Or mega-fauna, even. Can you imagine? Human society would be doomed.

Have to do a follow-up name change because of certain dumb NM rules šŸ¤¬šŸ˜‘ Mulling over "Edward" as a middle name. Wondering if anyone has pro/con opinions of the name before I spend $ on a court filing. (Not expecting much response but what the hell)

"Why don't you simply leave" is the exact same Individual Responsibility doctrine that Republicans use to justify every single thread they pluck from the social safety net. Casting the people who are hurt most as the ones to blame for their own pain only furthers the Republican project.

A thing that's always surprising to me is how many techbros think they can nuance their way through Nazis. Pro trip: You can't nuance your way through Nazis. There's no nuance in Nazis. What's more, you're (probably) not the fucking US government. You don't *have* to nuance the Nazis. So just don't.
