Again, Reagan literally couldn’t do the job & his henchmen were engaged in wildly illegal policy that should have ended his presidency (Iran-Contra). Ditto Trump now every day x100. Biden couldn’t campaign anymore. These things were not remotely the same. The wrong one was made a nonstop scandal.
👇🎯💯 All of this. Not a single person or journalist is able to identify a single part of the actual <governing> & <policy> part of the job Biden wasn’t doing. And we never had this feeding frenzy for Reagan or Trump, both of whom weren’t able/willing to do the actual job during their terms. Enough.
I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before.
But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma.
Now do a wellness check on Trump.

"Assume everyone I interact with online is struggling with their mental health" has only become a more important guiding principle in the past couple years
My personal guidelines for dealing with people on social media:
Assume everyone is a friend you haven't yet gotten to know.
Assume everyone is struggling with their mental health
Don't promise any emotional labor you might not be able to provide
If someone seems like a hater, disengage right away

Just note. Yes, YIKES mistake but NO this was not done in any way intentionally. Assets go thru a lot of changes before being finalized for the show and, in this case, an older asset was ACCIDENTALLY used by our merch partner. It’s being fixed and the adjusted item will be in the shop shortly.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

my take on food discourse is my same take as music discourse, television discourse etc which is that the take-haver should in most cases say that they don’t like something rather than that it is “bad” and the take reader should in all cases not react to said takes as a personal affront

1, for the record. Not just a whole apple, but specific apples with other specific details, full color, full sensory, with other images lurking just nearby - it's an easy jump, for instance, to imagining the texture of biting into that specific apple, the crunch and gush, the taste.

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.
