I have two words for the national Democrats.

Well, those would work, yes.
But also.
Opposition. Party.

The other side gets it.

'Standing up doesn't work' and other milquetoastery mealy-mouthed quislingisms are NOT the message for this era.
We had dessert.
Pumpkin pie from Costco.
Better than the first one we had a couple of weeks ago, but only slightly.
I’ll be needing a better one next year.
Hopefully tomorrow appetite returns.
Dessert: also a maybe.

As a former veteran of a Wendy’s, I can say our setup was exactly like this.
Front sandwiches, where Ahnuld is, not a place for newbies. There’s a precise order* for everything, and there were no computers back in the day bucko. All handwritten order sheets.
At our place, guys could wear visors.
And, as long as we're talking Wendy's, there's no better place to share this promo pic of Arnold Schwarzenegger at a Wendy's in 1979, where he looks like someone hit Nardwuar with Gamma rays!

Zanadu said yes.
To me.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

So our house watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving tonight. I’ve probably seen it 40+ times.
Leaving aside the problematic stuff we all know about:
—Obi-wan’s attention was rapt during Snoopy parts.
—it was good to get Zanadu’s takes.
—when Woodstock got the big part of the wishbone, I felt I did too

You've just died.

The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

(I suppose there are all kinds of ways a wall can kill a person.)

Well, maybe. If they have razor-sharp edges or were broken or something.

Day 26: 2001-05.

Went back to songs that I played Nov 1-5. Picked a favorite, and then found another track of theirs. (to be fair, these were from a collection of songs released in 2004, so these are kinda 90s).

Book 196 📚 for 2025. If you like your histories big, this is your book. Covers a millennium of developments without losing you in a dizzying list of kings and popes, this ain't yer HS Western Civ. Heard he shades pro-Roman, but it didn't translate. Available everywhere, including your local library.

I really think if you aren’t coming around in your abolition journey at THIS point, there may be no hope for you. They’re showing up in riot gear to help modern day slave catchers. They’re gassing people who are videoing to make public what they’re up to. They’re all bad.
We have got to collectively help people understand that of course the local* cops are acting as an arm of the machine. That is their purpose.

People need to grow their minds & grieve what they've been conditioned to believe about cops being there to help/serve/protect.

I use chaos to make moss out of books, baked goods and cheese with a slice of confusion.
What are you made of?

1. tea & tenderness
2. books & baked goods
3. cheese & confusion
4. moss & chaos
