Keys to enjoying your hobbies:
1) it's perfectly okay to be kind of crap at what you enjoy, so long as you do enjoy it
2) if you want to get better at something you need to enjoy the process and not worry so much about results
3) tools only work when you pick them up and use them

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Minnesota Nice does not apply to ICE.
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

It was nice to look at but badly needed a proper set-up, and the pickups didn't feedback so much as squeal angrily when pushed too hard. And since getting this one in like 2012, I've found others that feel better to play.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Democrats are often feckless bumblefucks, but I have honestly never felt like party leadership has abandoned rank and file Democrats to this extent. It's a goddamn vacuum at the top and no one is getting their shit together to put up some kind of fight.
