Write them a letter in your worst handwriting and neglect to mention your age, see if you can trick them into it

A clip from that time They Might Be Giants performed “Birdhouse in Your Soul” on the Tonight Show with Doc & the band is going around the other place & made me realize I somehow missed this performance back then. It is amazing.

When I read it, I found it to be more of an experience than a book. Still enjoyable, just surprisingly more interactive than I had expected.

I was confused at first too but they've been really polite and considerate! It's nice to see people just earnestly enjoying something together.

Very easy to buy a billboard that reads: "Trump's Project 2025: Sell Yellowstone" and just hit them with it over and over again.

"They want to sell Yellowstone" feels like an easy win, too. People love national parks!

All the BTS Army people coming in have been actively trying to be good community members and it's really heartwarming to see. I don't know anything about their fandom but I'm glad they're finding a place to gather.

It's a lot easier to yell at people from their high ground than it is to admit that "telling people they're bad for working on improving things" doesn't actually fix anything. The biggest frustration I have is with the idea that progress has to be all or nothing! Incremental progress is good!

This is why I dislike the "just move away" takes I've seen about the South. Change is possible!

My favorite thing about the Cybertruck is how the universal reaction seems to be "it's even more ugly in person", no matter how bad you expected it to be.

I cancelled WaPo this morning after I got a push notification breathlessly telling me that the White House doctor hasn't yet ordered a cognitive test for Biden. Already dropped the NY Times. Had to dig up the WaPo editors' contact info, but I sent them a message explaining exactly why they lost me.

I think because it indicates he's platforming fascists _on purpose_ rather than if he was a doddering "both sides" relic.

I got a bank refund about two days after cancellation, so keep an eye out to see if they credit you.

Is this a recent screenshot? They used to do that, but I cancelled mine online just a couple of days ago. Maybe the influx of cancellations got their attention.

Fwiw she's won races before, I wonder if the primary issue was more adjustment to the national stage. Curious what your thoughts are!

Your take is well-reasoned and sensible. I agree that if it's not Biden, it has to be Harris and Biden needs to throw his support behind her. The only thing that concerns me was what I felt was Harris' underwhelming performance in the 2020 primaries. Do you think that is a concern?

You joked in your other post about only following you for your jokes but as someone who is sort of a quiet account, it's takes like this and your obvious zeal for life and loving other people that makes you a must-follow for me. Thanks for being you!

my other toxic opinion is that life is full of context and nuance and gray areas and therefore absolutely no one can be 100% morally correct or ideologically pure, and to think otherwise is embarrassingly foolish

Also wrote the White House to insist that Biden expand the court, remove Thomas for corruption & take any actions that will force Republicans to beg for a return to the status quo. Tell them to go further than they are comfortable! www.whitehouse.gov/contact/share/

Good reminder. I wrote my Representative and demanded that he co-sponsor AOC's impeachment bill for SCOTUS and support any effort to expand the court to 13 immediately. Best cure for despair is action.

You're 100% right, but this is even worse - he's arguing that because the Supreme Court ruled that because acts during the Presidency aren't allowed to be considered for evidence, it should be thrown out because the Prosecution included evidence from his time in office in their case against him. 🙃

Did the Post run something as egregious as the Times? (Seriously asking, I just cancelled my Times subscription today and if I need to cancel the Post as well I want to know!)

Just did, and provided extensive feedback in their survey about how disappointed I was at their constant platforming of antidemocratic content in the name of profit-chasing. I subscribed for years in the name of supporting a free press, so I don't begrudge anyone who still subscribes.

This happens to me on mobile if my phone is in an area without signal and then regains a network connection. Relaunching the app seems to fix it.

I think this is exactly it. When people are used to always being centered in conversations and never dealing with pushback, they'll say some absolutely wild things.
