Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.
Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

DRAGON FIRE (1989)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32” x 20”
After I submitted my concept sketch for the cover of SUNRUNNER’S FIRE by Melanie Rawn, I realized that the anatomy of the dragon’s wings was inconsistent with the structure on the other covers I had done for the series. 1/3

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I have done every single thing on this list. I am the Bluesky equivalent of fossilized dinosaur dung.
I did not do 14 or 20. Re:14 - I didn't have internet at home during the dialup years. I used the university's internet. Only rich people had home internet then, I was a broke student. Re:20 - I was a library person and if I needed encyclopedias, I just used theirs, which required planning ahead.

I understand why Dorna/Liberty are killing MotoE, and I won’t pretend that I enjoy the electric bikes more than the gas powered ones. That said, the quiet ending of the of MotoE experiment does feel like a massive missed opportunity. The racing has been decent, and the electric market is growing.

People giving Nancy Pelosi her flowers now that she is finally hanging up her investment portfolio confound me. For all her supposed talent and genius, the country and the vast majority of her constituency are in an even worse place than they were when she was elected to Congress in 1987(!!).

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.
I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.
