Semiotics, Assyriology, literature, writing, and border collies.
Liberal. Words mean how they're used. Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions.

Jesus. My exam proctor was an older guy. I was 19. We chatted during the road test. At the end he said, "Now, don't take this the wrong way--"
"I failed??"
"Nooo, you passed!" [shows me clipboard: pass] "It's just... you're too young for me, but I hope someday I meet somebody like you"
He was sweet

My driver's ed teacher took me on the Danforth first time I had the wheel and laughed at my panic, never wore a seatbelt, he made us drive around to get cheap gas, he waxed rhapsodic about his friend who fked a woman so hard he prolapsed her vagina (the doctor called him an animal)
my driver's ed teacher was good. we're in queue for my driver's exam & he says "oh thank god you won't get 'hatchet face'." as I ask him "who's hatchet face," I see this cop yelling at the lady just ahead of me b/c she wasn't fluent in English & fails her. teacher says "oh no you have hatchet face"

somebody on the old site pointed out that scene is like showing up at a new office, and there's a weird guy dressed like a wizard going "Microsoft Excel is no match for the power of sorcery"
then after he almost kills you, everyone else is like "no, really, he is a wizard, and he will kill you"

The Death Star board room scene is low key the funniest scene in cinematic history. It’s a work meeting with an evil samurai wizard everyone else finds mildly annoying and when his manager tells him to stop killing a coworker with his magicka, he has to listen.

otto braun refused to join in on a general strike when he was deposed as minister-president of prussia because he wanted to distance himself from the communists, thalmann famously said "after hitler, our turn" when asked to join an spd government. both got sent to concentration camps shortly after

every faction in the american left has the kpd/pci problem where they spend more time focused on winning stupid internecine feuds about stuff that happened 20 years ago than actually focusing on fascism, which they saw as a flash in the pan that'd go away on its own
i think a campaign geared toward what people online were arguing about in 2022 is probably not going to work out
Stephen A. Smith: "We wouldn’t have a border crisis under my watch."
"We ain’t defunding any police… There’s gonna be more."
It's with much regret I foresee the inevitable, he's running

The other of the rich men said to him "Master, what good thing shall I do and live?" He said to him "Man, perform the law and the prophets." He answered him "I have performed them." He said to him "Go, sell all that thou hast and divide it to the poor, and come, follow me."

This is great because there’s at least five credible options and everyone has strong opinions while being essentially meaningless. Bluesky needs this.

Riding on horseback
And keepin' order restored
'Til the men, they couldn't hang
Stepped to the mic and sang

A Dem that runs as pro trans gets a SIXTY ONE POINT BUMP WITH DEM VOTERS and a NINE POINT BUMP WITH INDIES over ones that go silent.
The failure to get this is a prior beliefs/incentives problem but it's also a research problem. The current establishment's understanding of voters is utterly cooked.

Relevant to that is another finding in the poll. A theoretical officeholder that speaks up about these issues is preferred by:
ICE raids D+72 I+40
Trans D+61 I+9
Gaza genocide D+33 I-24
Guessing that Gaza one was a question wording effect, but if you're running a a Dem, those are your voters.
