Some people got picked last for kickball on a middle school playground in the 80s and moved on to other things. Others have been yelling about wokism in kickball selection, and everyone else who criticized them over the subsequent 4 decades...

you know how there's a quiet car on commuter trains like amtrak and njtransit? there should be a loud car where all the people who refuse to use headphones are required to sit.

the democrats have done more donation soliciting based on the admin going after mark kelly than they have done actual messaging, and that kind of gives the jig up about the party's priorities. they have the high ground and a winning message and all they can think about is squeezing donors for bucks

I'm not sure what it's gonna take for people to realize that being subject to a sick burn in a judicial opinion is not something that will dissuade Trump or his cronies. They will push and push and try again and again until something sticks unless they are sanctioned and punished!

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Dear hotels,
I am not in the market for cutesy "do not disturb" signs. I just want to be able to know at a glance which side of the sign means "leave me alone thanks!"
love,

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

CLUE is, in many ways, one of our best games about how we’d all like any excuse to wander around other people’s houses checking for weird shit.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.
Fact checking is not going to do shit.
Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.
We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

this. show interest in their interests.
My best advice for parents re: harmful content: show genuine interest in the stuff your kid is watching and doing online.
Let them talk your ear off about Minecraft and Roblox and the funny video they just watched. Make them feel excited to share with you, vs making them feel ashamed or judged

It’s very clear that the Democrats strategy is to keep their heads down and hope voters are mad enough to vote them into a majority. It’s moral cowardice.
