I think @hankgreen.bsky.social can pick up what you're putting down, Mr. King.
The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be.

This is my issue with all of these "strategists" and most of the media. They have NO ACTUAL SKIN IN THE GAME. If it all goes to shit they'll still be just fine. The rest of us? Who cares.

I bookmarked this. I've been looking for *concrete* ways to actually do something in addition to being angry about it all. Some things I'm already doing, which gave me some small bit of relief.

Eating next to a couple. The woman is calling her boyfriend “babe” so often, I’m starting to wonder if she doesn’t know his name.
