Also, if you have to ask if you can afford a safari, the answer is "no"

It's like buying market price fish at a restaurant

Cis men: There will be times when you will be able to use your privilege to help your trans friends in dangerous situations. But it will be by helping them extract themselves, not by escalation.

I'm not a graphic tee guy, but I might be able to be convinced

Brotman @brotman.bsky.social · Nov 10

Maybe I've just missed it, but I'm fairly attentive to these things, and if they weren't breaking through to me, that's a problem

Playing catch-up too late, especially with the media environment. Should have been shouting programs from the rooftops since 2021 - and aslo eviscerating Manchin on CTC every chance he got

Buying Gannett would be ideal. All those hyper local stories

Maybe??? He didn't run his admin or anything like it, though, and it's harder to change that narrative than establish it from the beginning with good PR (not that he could have had NYT on his side, but that's a personal issue, it seems)

It is! I always thought we should have taken like 2 or 4 years off max, but I don't get to put together the schedules

I would like it to be 2005 again through science or magic

But I do think on the whole, at least as I have gotten older and watch less, I just want to be entertained by whatever I can find time to put on
