I can't stop thinking about that article about how people literally can't read because they're basically taught to guess over the last like two decades and like. It's really starting to make why people will respond aggressively, agreeing with what you said but convinced you said the opposite

BLANCHE: Apparently wealthy men wrote to complain about how hard it is to seduce teenage girls. I also had good taste at a tender age.
DOROTHY: Men are lizards.
ROSE: We had a teacher like that in St Olaf. Mister Lindberg. He had to leave after he fell down the same flight of stairs six times.

In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it.
Which of those professions, though, do you reflexively associate more with lying?
You're not immune to copaganda.

Holy shit, this is WHY she’s good at Serious Literature-you can’t be afraid to take risks! >50% of your stuff just isn’t gonna hit; you have to get comfortable with that!
It will never not be funny to me that an important writer like Joyce Carol Oates who writes captial S Serious Literature is also really good at posting. It's like if Stravinsky had lived long enough to be really good at Animal Crossing too.

Also I churned out 57 jumbo dragon (& mermaid) egg bath bombs last week for upcoming shows, plus assorted minis, so I’ve been busily turning them multiple times a day like a Pern protagonist 😂

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

tl;dr: the tentative Senate budget deal sucks.
The deal still needs a final vote to pass the Senate, and it must pass the House. There's still room here for course correction with heavy constituent pressure, but it's moving fast.

Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems.
Kick THEM out.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Since we’re playing chicken with people’s health care: The fact that there are subsidies to ACA premiums with any kind of expiration at all is a compromise that Republicans extracted to water ACA down in the first place. Precisely so they could have this opportunity to attack it again in the future.
If Schumer is grinning… Dems are not about to do what I want them to do.
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
