Imagine being so filled with hate that you feel the need to protest a bouncy house.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.
They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.
And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Feels like Trump is striking a somewhat similar tone re: Iran as Bush's "Mission Accomplished" moment with Iraq.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Do not split
the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

It is hard to write a story, especially a prequel, that enhances pre-existing source material and makes it better and more poignant. Andor is the rare masterclass in that; Rogue One was already my favorite Star Wars movie. Watching it after finishing Andor, and it somehow hits even better.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

"And let me tell you: getting all of those Northwest people to agree on something? That almost never happens."
So true, and amazing writing about what it feels like reading media written about our little corner of the country.

Last week, the New York Times came to Oregon and described the forest as smelling like a pine tree air freshener sold at car washes. Today I talk about why this is a great metaphor for helicopter journalism and the ways national media loses trust.

The four year old yesterday: "I am an artist. I am so creative."
I'm doing whatever I can to nurture and preserve that feeling for her, and I love that her teachers do, too. ❤️

Andor season 2 has just been amazing so far. Weaving the storylines together as Mon Mothma dances, and the raw emotion of all of it was phenomenally well done. I can't wait for the remainder of the season.

Fun little 7-1 trophy to kick off the format. I love Tarkir, so glad Wizards came back to the plane. Thought this would be a 4-3 deck at best, but Abzan does silly things. #mtg

If you were POTUS, and wanted to create market conditions where the mega-wealthy can buy up massive amounts of distressed public and private assets for pennies on the dollar, turning the US into a modern day fiefdom, is there a single thing you would do differently from what Trump has done to date?
