agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Dismissing and minimizing the process, in any art, is partially what has led to widespread acceptance of AI generated art and writing.
When your focus is on the result, you are not partaking in art. You are a bystander.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Today in unbelievable cuteness:
I sternly told a toddler to stop trying to open their sippy cup.
She walked over, gently grabbed my hand, looked me soulfully in the eyes, and whispered, "I am SO sorry."
Then she started drinking nicely.

TFW you lost your cake carrier 7 years ago, and just today, saw a video of a cake your sister made, and there it is!
You can even see the scratch from that time your husband dropped a chef's knife on it.

Compliments from girls always hits better.
When a woman compliments another woman, she knows exactly what she's looking at and how much work went into it.
Not, "hey, you're beautiful! DM me back! Why are you ignoring me? ...wyd? Where are you beautiful? Fine! you're fat anyways!!"

I really wish more people understood that food assistance programs, both at home and as overseas food aid, are agricultural subsidy as much as (more than?) they are charity.
The birth of SNAP started as a "kill two birds with one stone" situation. The food producers needed annual bailout due to trade instability, and the impoverished are hungry.

This is an excellent thread, with several good points you can share with your friends/relatives/acquaintances who are in the "let them starve" camp. Since empathy won't work for some people, maybe selfishness & self-interest will.
Okay,
SNAP isn't technically a welfare program. It is a USDA program.
Specifically, a subsidy program. Not for the hungry but for the farmers, food producers, and processors.

BTW, we all know "technically right " is the best sorta right.

I've decided that loving baseball is a form of self-harm for me.
Why do I do this to myself?
Why am I a 3rd generation Red Sox fan?
Why do I carry the generational trauma of that damn team?

My dog will bring me kibble when she eats. Especially if I've already let her have a taste of my dinner. She retrieves dead animals and brings them to me.

I made a formal request through Rick Scott's office for a meeting with him. That's my right as encoded in State Law. And it is his right to deny meetings with whomever he wants.
So, likelihood I will actually have my request met? .00002%

It is cool out finally here in Florida. Perhaps it is time to head down to the zoo with a sketch pad midday and sit with the gorillas.
It is my favorite thing to do; go during a weekday when no one is there. Sit and chill with the gorillas. If there is a baby, a female will come and show you.
