In its way, The Lion in Winter is the MOST Christmas movie. As it consists of nothing but the constant dragging out and recapitulation of contentious family drama, leading ultimately to a return to status quo and 'let's do it again next year'.

I lived through the mass shooting at UVA three years ago and am more than happy to talk to anyone at Brown who wants to talk to someone that understands what y'all are going through tonight.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

The father or one of my dear friends was a Nuremberg war prosecutor. At Nuremberg, at least three Nazi U-Boat captains were sentenced to death and executed for murdering shipwreck survivors.

"Republicans (and Joe Manchin) don’t attack SNAP and UBI because the programs are failures. They attack them because the programs are successful, and conservatives hate the idea that some poor person somewhere may be experiencing autonomy, freedom, or joy."
There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

SNAP not only supports working families, disabled folks, and the elderly. It supports jobs. Lots of jobs. Grocery stores, farmers, the suppliers that get food from farms to grocery stores. The ROI on SNAP is unparalleled. These are some of the best dollars the government spends.

This led me down a rabbit hole of mandatory voting laws. The Wikipedia entry was interesting, and it seems to me that if democrats ever get back in power, they should introduce mandatory voting laws.

Unless you’ve been on SNAP or had to be a cashier in a grocery store while someone discovers the insane restrictions placed on SNAP food choices, I simply think you should shut the hell up about food access.

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does
if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs
if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth
if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.
