Someone wrote this yesterday and it’s sunk in. The senate is a cult. Parties are secondary to getting and then doing everything to stay there, forever. Its a lifelong job.

Many are calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation. What hasn't been reported until now is that any Senate Democrat can offer a motion to challenge his leadership position, and it would have to get a vote within 7 days. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:

Joshua Tree, not in Joshua Tree. In case you don’t know, they grow over a wide swath of Southern California and can even be found in some lucky people’s front yards. I’ll never tire of California. Redwood trees to Joshua trees, what a range of wonders!

Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch on Route 66 with a sound of chimes, birds, trucks, and train. Light illuminates the bottles like stained glass in the peaceful grove. I’d like to think Duchamp and John Cage would have recognized their descendant. Begun 2000. Elmer Long died in 2019.

This bullshit about putting money back in peoples’ hands to let them get together and competitively shop for care is just that - bullshit. It is not a thing that happens in our system. It is impossible. People will not get care they need.

Hard to imagine a better articulation of how fannish brain has broken Hollywood. How is Bond back after dying in the last movie? Because he’s a fictional character and we’re not done telling stories about him.

So sad. Clearly, this demonstrates what bad hands the franchise is in.
Spoiler: it’s because he died. The writers of a franchise whose main character has been played by seven actors across sixty years think they have to come up with a plot explanation for the character coming back after dying in the previous movie. radaronline.com/p/james-bond...
