RIP Robert Duvall. Not enough words in the English language to describe how fine an actor you are.
Robert Duvall as Augustus McCrae from Lonesome Dove saying "It ain't dying I'm talking about. It's living."

Again, all I'm asking is that any Democrat who wants my vote support 1. Reverting Trump's anti-trans policies, 2. Commit to fighting against the future erosion of trans rights, and 3. Support legislation codifying trans rights into law.

Very weird how many of you centrists think that's unreasonable

In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"
gregsargent.bsky.social Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6h
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

Thoughts on this:

All I want is a magic money pool that is only good for when I want to buy a book. The book appears, and the author gets paid.

If your reps aren't fighting for trans rights, you can pretty much guess the way they're going to vote for other rights.

Hell, to the no on compromise.

Side view of Worf and Jadzia standing at the altar getting married. Between them is a Muppet pig minister (this character is unnamed, but was just used in The Muppet Show by Miss Piggy to try to get Kermit to marry her under false pretenses)

thinking about Nick Groom's suggested "seven types of obscurity" in Gothic novels, forming a handy "is it goth" checklist lmao
Meteorological (mists, clouds, wind, rain, storm, tempest, smoke, darkness, shadows, gloom). Topographical (impenetrable forests, inaccessible mountains, chasms, gorges, deserts, blasted heaths, icefields, the boundless ocean). Architectural (towers, prisons, castles covered in gargoyles and crenellations, abbeys and priories, tombs, crypts, dungeons, ruins, graveyards, mazes, secret passages, locked doors). Material (masks, veils, disguises, billowing curtains, suits of armour, tapestries). Textual (riddles, rumours, folklore, unreadable manuscripts and inscriptions, ellipses, broken texts, fragments, clotted language, polysyllabism, obscure dialect, inserted narratives, stories-within-stories). Spiritual (religious mystery, allegory and symbolism, Roman Catholic ritual, mysticism, freemasonry, magic and the occult, Satanism, witchcraft, summonings, damnation). Psychological (dreams, visions, hallucinations, drugs, sleep-walking, madness, split personalities, mistaken identities, doubles, derangement, ghostly presences, forgetfulness, death, hauntings).
