What excellent boiled potatoes.
I read a blog post from Grace Atwood about evolving style (she’s a millennial) and one of her Gen Z assistants was helping her adopt more new silhouettes. In the process, she said, “I think your generation (millennials) is really focused on looking smaller, when mine is not.”

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Say what you will about Biden, but I would bet every last dime in my bank account that he and Jill have already reached out to Caroline Kennedy and her family to make themselves available for anything.

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.
In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.
Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

Been ranting to folks for a year now about how fucking obvious it’s been forever that the only way for Dems to break through in this media environment is to curse more and — how bout that! — this broke through the noise.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
