Yep.

I don't love fighting. Few do.

Sometimes somebody else makes the decision for you.

If you can get through that BC anxiety they can be absolute sweethearts. But that anxiety can be an issue, especially to an inexperienced owner. They're so smart, gotta put in the effort, sounds like you have.

Oh, she is. Total doll.

I am a lawyer, and lawyers need to work, so I moved her off my lap for the laptop.

She decided to stay close another way.

That, teething, and learning to play, absolutely. Understanding puppy exuberance and stimulation is key to training them out of it.

So much puppy training overlaps if you *do* it all. Walk training, food, socializing, potty.

The baby shark face is my no means universal, and breed plays a role, but it is overwhelmingly common.

She's a little teddy bear. I've never met a puppy less than a year old who'd rather snuggle than bite.

One of the things we often forget is that congresspeople have constituents that they are, in fact, supposed to serve.

If you're a Dem congressperson with a *lot* of constituents going hungry and this deal is on the table?

Yeah. Not sure I agree yet. Want more info. But conceptually I understand.

I have complex feelings on this rn.

If this funds SNAP and involves blanket reinstatement...yeah. It'd be a compromise, not capitulation. People don't have to like compromise, or think they're acceptable, but the two are different.

That transcript was a *trip*.

I think my central impression was "these people just don't live in the same planet we do. Just not even the same reality."

Have you considered however that Schumer Bad?

I despise to my very core that this is true as often as it is.

Get to .500 against MAGA first. Otherwise you're just collaborating in advance.

"But it'll be used for good when we, a political persuasion famous for victory, accomplishing shit, and preserving those gains long term, attain permanent control over the levers of these expansive powers!"

No thanks, man, sorry.

Never did the boom box thing, but then I'm just not a dick, so
November 9, 2025 at 3:11 AM
I wish I hadn't.

Like, I get it, but that shit never works for the people we want it to. All the restraint on state power and every reasonable safeguard on its monopoly on violence and punishment, please.

I was there in 2024 and it was fantastic.

@goobermunch.bsky.social and I had a great time.

When the threadnought...whatever to me, is probably the most apt description..., my social media got immediately and considerably hornier.

And it never really reverted back.
