My OCD has superpower aspects. Advocates monthly town meetings at Dunkin' in breakaway NE. Dreams of being an economist. Assume it's a failed attempt at humor. Don't want the drama.
I think, like "Let's Go Brandon" this is the nickname that would a) stick and b) do the most damage. He'd hate it.

When is the YA market going to have more zombies?
THE (ZOMBIE) OUTSIDERS: "Ponyboy, I'd rather be the walking dead than be a Soc!"
ARE YOU THERE GOD, IT'S ME, ZOMBIES: "We must! We must! We must make zombies go bust!"
HARRIET THE ZOMBIE: "You noted my brain isn't worth eating, Harriet!"

My saucepan holds 11 eggs when I boil them and I'm left with a single, unboiled egg that I then need to remember for days is not one of the boiled ones.
This is a more esoteric version of the 10 hot dogs, 8 buns predicament.

My old person habit of two spaces after a period is in a constant battle with social media's word limit and my need to offer one last quip.

This makes me wonder if George Will is at heart an X person or true BlueSky person. Like, his need for mainstream attention vs. his turn against the current GOP and love of baseball....
Not wonder enough to look it up, but wonder. He's awful.

When I was in college I bought the Fischer Price video camera, which recorded on cassette tapes. I wanted to be a filmmaker at a time where even VHS recorders were expensive.
This quality reminds me of that. I miss bad tech.

And this without the Dems having a plan beyond pretending it's 2023.
New polls from Gallup, YouGov, and out of Virginia show voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy. Nationally, Dems now have a 4-point margin on the issue — an 18-point shift away from Trump since 2023. Time to update your priors

The issue that sank Democrats in 2024 now threatens to do the same to Republicans in 2025 and the 2026 midterms

I disagree. But no one yet has the talent or guts to do it.
For example, Bernie. Try and talk about his socialist leanings and he waves it away as a distraction. "What? You're against health care??? Here are some facts...." Which makes the GOP defend letting people die.
We need more of that.
