Need a ranked choice presidential vote constitutional amendment. Tired of this archaic-ass 3/5ths-of-a-person electoral college horseshit. Pure nonsense.

No you don't. You cherish it and realize that like all older things, it needs love and care and a lot of hard work to make it work for the owner again. Now we gave it to the snake oil salesman that convinced you he can make it great again when the work has to be done by someone who knows it's value
If you maintained a car for 250 years, yes it’ll be rickety but you don’t just hand the keys off to a drunken bobdamn walrus.

Jesus... I was looking at the calender because my best friend is coming in January. I looked down at the dreaded day and wanted to slap Trump supporters because his inauguration is on MLK day. Can you imagine how great it would have been if that could have been a black woman as the first president

I've been saying this since 2016 as well. I can't even enjoy the satire in it anymore
In 2016, I would often write in Salon that we're careening toward Idiocracy. My editor told me to stop writing that, so I did -- even though I was right about it.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.

I've been like this so long I don't think I'd know what it feels like to just take a deep breath. This place gives me faith I can.. soon.
I kinda feel like this picture is maybe our collective nervous systems before we left Twitter and came over here. Yeah?

Yeah it took me a few times to get it to work but there's always going to be growing pains.
If you have this issue (Invalid Handle), go the Settings/Change Handle and renter your handle. You may have to do it a couple times before it finally sticks.

I've been there and I can feel that same anxiety that I hope I have at least one friend by lunch.
This is like going to a new school in the middle of the year
