Yes I am a man.
I also realized years ago that I was a barely functional idiot...
It's not an excuse, it's just embracing my limitations and avoiding situations that are out of my depth.
Very much "check yourself before you wreck yourself."

They should keep hounding him on his relationship with Epstein.
Question: why were you accepting money from Jeffrey Epstein in 2017 knowing that he was a convicted pedophile?

What’s happening to literature and publishing is so very sad. The needless oblivion.
And having to talk about this on Substack just makes the point. We’re surrounded by infrastructure that’s owned and run by sociopaths in the interests of sociopaths.

"Since the usual channels for book discovery have been gutted by the uber-wealthy, which they have clearcut for their own personal profit...we authors are all now expected to engage in this starved and hysterical culture of the few."

Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.
Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

The moment someone decides to have one, or not. In theory, the speaker can block anything from coming to a vote, including votes on them, and that has happened in the past. McCarthy had to agree to permit such votes to get the job recently, I don't know what the current rules are.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Well, I don't know the answer here, but what I asked under Biden is what would starting to win look like? In that case, I'd say it was progressives getting to pick some posts, and Biden backing them. And that's what happened, and they had a lot of success. So, he's making her need him, that's good.
