Tonight, I missed a virtual forum with Indivisible Edgewater.
I want to apologize and explain my absence, as well as reaffirm my commitment to being accessible to any and all 9th District residents.
Once again, I’m very sorry for this and we are trying to reschedule for another time.

The window of what was considered career-ending has shifted so far since 2016 it’s beyond shocking. And the press has played a huge role in it with their “he’s just a different guy” schtick 🤮
It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Avengers V3 is interesting because it feels like the end for an entire era of comics. It’s easy to forget that while it was happening books like The Authority were laying down the template for the industry in the 2000s. These 2 pages were published the same month but they feel a solid decade apart

I know it is shocking to say, but non majority-white countries have as many rabidly bigoted assholes living in them as we do.

The destruction of the Kinkos brand is one of the dumbest naming decisions of the Bush years.
'Copy shop' being so phonologically similar to 'coffee shop' just shows that Kinko's is the 'dark twin' of Starbucks. Replicating that which already exists is ultimately the great sin of post-industrial society, whether it's mediocre coffee or literal photocopies.
