i am a middle aged white mom with a minivan. i live in a brick ranch and vote democrat in every election. i am the electoral equivalent of a free space in bingo. I PROMISE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE
Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

I have about a thousand hours in Project Zomboid, half with zombies turned off entirely, because this vibe is exactly what I needed for a while. @theindiestone.bsky.social, please keep in mind while you're adding stuff that some of us play *because* it's a simulator and not a game.
My first article of 2026 is about Dawn of the Dead, Project Zomboid and The Sims, and how they're connected by sadness and alienation.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

Co-signed. I have no depth perception, so people who do have a pretty significant advantage over me in lots of sports.
That is not why this argument is being made.

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

Bad news. Your new idea for a catchy mnemonic to help me remember something you think is important is competing with several decades of previous attempts. Could you please just tell me what you want to tell me and let me worry about remembering it?

Cuyahoga. A bit upstream of where you're thinking.

Boston. It's OK to opt to be cozy instead of chilly.
“Bad-jacketing” is when you wear a jacket that is either too light or too heavy for the weather. Very dangerous stuff, be careful out there.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

There are a variety of approaches historically to dealing with armed groups that don’t respect civilian authority. “Abolish ICE” is extremely moderate.
