BINGO. It is genuinely bizarre for him to make a distinction like this, and I can't tell if *he thought* there was a difference, or if he's saying this so he can keep his post? (Especially since the transgression in question is about transgressing a boundary of trust with a young person!)

Hey, the '24 White Sox were a history-making team, Will!

This is what I don't understand—this has been Schumer's argument, but it seems like Trump et al. have been perfectly willing to gut everything with the lights on, so that argument doesn't feel like it holds water?

This, and, I think many of us *do* feel beyond anger and fear, and have for basically 9 years. But like, that isn't doing anything, and no one is leading the masses in a coordinated, opposing way. And that just adds to the chaos!

my favorite pair of jeans were a pair of 501s I bought when I started grad school. They were casual, flattering, felt good, and the no-zip full-button fly is 🔥🔥🔥. but maybe that's just me?
