Predator Badlands was great fun. 'Let's make the bad guy a good guy' is often scraping the bottom of the premise barrel, but this is inventive and works really well.

In 2023, @runforsomething.net worked with Lily Franklin in a long-shot state house race in rural VA -- no one thought it worth trying, but Lily did, & we had her back. She came within 183 votes of winning. She got back in the fight this year & just flipped the seat red to blue!!!!!!!

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

One of the reasons I talk about my trans son is so that people will see there are families who dearly love and happily support their trans kids. The public should not only see people who reject their kids, and think it is socially and morally acceptable.
