Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

They used to sell dedicated handheld devices that each adapted exactly one (1) popular video game into a simplified format where the graphics consisted of individual static LCD images turned on or off in front of a physical backdrop, so that you could kind of play Double Dragon on a long car trip.

Trump stole MA's PPE off trucks during the early months of Covid & gave it to red states. Our Republican governor worked out a secret plan to use our football team's jet to bring back PPE directly from China to Boston Logan airport, so that Trump's goons didn't have a chance to take it first.
Yeah, it sure makes you wonder what’s going to happen when a blue state needs help and it’s at Trump’s discretion as to whether to give it or not. We are so fucked.
Apparently, Texas authorities in the area where the horrific floods occurred just spent about 25 minutes of their most recent press conference patting themselves and Trump admin the back - while families desperately waited for new info.
Even the god-fearing users of this Aggies forum are PISSED.

Do they know it's Christmas
A: why does it matter
B: of course there's no snow in Africa at Christmas, it's in the tropical & Southern Hemisphere
C: what the f 'thank God it's them instead of you' is the worst sentiment
D: it's a bunch of euro-centric slop that's very gross

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Whelp, apparently he's just admitted, out loud, to rigging the election, not that anyone cares.
I feel like there's something I should say here, but... no idea what. None. Going to see if I can find any politicians who actual gaf and call them to see if they'll do anything, I guess?

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

We also can't really leave, because she's so fucking stubborn and will try and do things herself and end up falling and I really don't want to come home to her super hurt, or worse.
We're going to work on putting together the financial paperwork for assisted living today.

I'm 🎵struggling🎵
Ignoring problems with the world, (which I'm not, but for the sake of argument) my mother in law living with us is eating away at me.
I'm so tired of not having my house be mine. She's judgemental and miserable, and I get it, this is hard for her too, but I miss my life.

I did speak too soon, since then my mother in law who is a wretched person fell down the stairs, so she's living with us until she can get back into assisted living, Adam re-dislocated his shoulder and will need surgery, and it's A Lot. Work is still good, Adam is wonderful, but 2025 can chill, thx
Tomorrow, I have a big work day, but today? Today I had 6 hours of Stardew, hung out with my husband, and now I'm going to keep reading Clocktaur Boys. ✌️
All and all, this is not a bad life to live.
