SEATTLE!!!
We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

if you’re looking for some good movies to watch, here’s 300 or so recommendations (the video store clerk in me will seemingly never die out)

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Yes but you don’t understand, as Seahawks fans we are conditioned to feel tense for at least 3/4 of every game so this blowing teams out in the first half while completely dominating every aspect of the game feels strange. Is it still a win if you don’t go through the wringer of emotions? (yes)

i’ve decided the perfect internet place is confess fletch sky, a small passionate group who only talk about how good this movie is & how they don’t make mid budget movies for adults any more & how that’s a loss for everyone. every time i post about it, going back to twitter, it finds its people :)
you probably haven’t seen CONFESS, FLETCH but you definitely should, and also there should be at least 3 more of these
