Got a sample issue recently and their take on Charlie Kirk's death was vastly more nuanced than almost any major outlet. A rare good surprise in media!

Social interaction especially feels harder when you feel forced (even if only in your own mind) to perform normalcy. Looking like a functional adult that does their little spreadsheets and folds the laundry and remembers birthdays is so dissonant when so much is Not That Great Actually

Still hoping for Illuminati Feminist to hit the trifecta

"They can never hold a position of public trust again, up to and including being an officer of a 10-member model train enthusiasts club that meets at the VFW hall" is the bare minimum of acceptability

Next stage: backyard habitat improvements and squirrel wars. If you develop a Nemesis Bird, you've gone too far and your chances of recovery are slim.

Don't let your middle schooler listen to 5-4, people! They'll radicalize on the back catalog! And argue with their social studies teacher about Marbury v. Madison! And then ask for an Antonin Scalia is Dead hoodie for their birthday! Slippery slope!

Jen Arnall-Culliford's Something New To Learn About covers helical knitting, lace, and cables, while Modern Daily Knitting covers fair isle, brioche, mosaic, sequence knitting, marling, and log cabin in the Field Guide series. Mosaic Knitting Workshop by Ashleigh Wempe also.

Lynne Olson's Those Angry Days has tons of cites proving the existence of historical reply guys (and gals!). People wrote to Lindbergh and FDR about the isolationist/interventionist debate and they read just like an unmoderated comments section

As rallying cries go, "keep your head down and hide under a blanket like a puppy during a thunderstorm" is even lamer than usual for Dems

I've won this one before - this was my prize:

I'm pitching my lady voice lower in hopes that you will be able to hear my fervent plea for Illuminati Feminist merch

Took great delight in applying the "look at who the journo's sources are" advice to an article in the NYT today recommending something in my area of professional expertise. Went 4/4 on sources being people whose business is profiting off the thing being recommended. *bball swish*

The bullet didn't so much miss as lodge directly in the party's hippocampus, destroying the memories of their numerous failures contributing to our present condition

This is what happens when your entire social circle is indistinguishable demographically from a continuing care community in Scottsdale

This is the mugshot of a man who has spent at least as many hours curating his gym mirror selfies as he has actually working out. Like, he knows exactly what % of duck lips he can get away with

*waits for examples of radical reforms brought about by the people asking the powerful very nicely and bringing the good cookies*
