The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

I regret to inform you that the only way to finish your novel is to keep writing.

One thing that I’ll never be able to forget, to show how evil Elon and every single one of his cronies are, is that they thought life saving nutritional paste that cost 30cents was too expensive. $40 could keep a child fully fed for over 2 months. He makes more than that per second, not even joking
"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I first started using InDesign when I started working digitally, at first just to manage images with different dpis. This cover tho, I actually built using the app. There’s a density and chaos to the woods here that I was able to achieve by drawing the elements separately and then stacking them

To be honest I saw this and went "well, yeah, solid advice but what else is new," but then I read that footnote.

THAT FOOTNOTE GAVE ME LIFE.

I really rolled in it today and listened to a little bit of NJ AM Talk Radio while running errands. A big chunk of these people’s shock and surprise at the outcome has to be that they’ve fully convinced themselves that the only thing driving opposition to Trumpism is “mean tweets”
I haven't been on X for years now, but schadenfreude had me login last night to peek in on all my former NJ politics nemeses, and they're just absolutely trapped a phantom zone mirror prison, unable to comprehend how the world as it actually is can be so different from the one they've constructed
