Consistently seems like a lot of democratic politicians are Republican voters who took the best available job
Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.
"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com

The problem I have with shows like this is that they tend to be different from reality in almost unnoticeable but very important ways that people start to confuse with actual reality
"I discovered reverse escapism—when you plunge into imagined worlds, yearning for oblivion, only to find super-exaggerated versions of the worst people and ideas that are plaguing you in real life." New from @jilldlawrence.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4qyw6CO

My mom randomly asked Felicity Huffman for a restaurant recommendation in the street without knowing who she is. She enthusiastically gave us a bunch of great ones.

These parents killed their child and we need to say it
“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died of measles. In March, Tom Bartlett wrote about his visit with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy.

NBA folks -- a personal URL and site hosting fee is worth it. You will make more money. I was able to cover my first Finals in 15 years off the difference, driving to all seven games.
Not enough attention paid to the very direct right wing pipeline Substack promotes. Enough that Platformer and Casey Newton elected to switch to another service rather than support a platform that pushes and promotes hard right, conspiracy, and neo Nazi content www.platformer.news/why-platform...

When cartoon characters discuss numbers in base ten rather than base eight, it takes me completely out of my suspension of disbelief. Their society would not have developed that way.
