This video literally inspired us to bring the old school dictionary upstairs from the basement storage. It’s now on the coffee table, as the good lord intended. A constant reminder to all who dwell here that as for me and my house, we look shit up.
here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

"The conditions which surround us best justify our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political, and material ruin.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
