Many small things have vexed me this week, but right now I have clean sheets, new flannel pajama pants, a winter-moisturized face, and no need to set an alarm. If this isn't nice, what is?

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

part of the reason i've got such contempt for the doomerism around "they don't think they'll have to win an election again" is that this belief — which i agree some of them hold — critically endangers the entire project, it doesn't strengthen it. they are incapable of shifting strategy or pivoting.
it is actually a major fucking political problem for this administration that they have key decision makers who believe the GOP will never have to win a fair election again

Were the book sales worth it @jaketapper.bsky.social?
You really are an insufferable sellout.
Biden never slept through meetings but Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about how he was too old.

the thing is, they've turned everything immigration-related to stephen miller, who has never run for office, has never held an elected position, and who could not win a popularity contest consisting solely of members of his own household. he is indifferent to the future of the republican party.
it is absolutely unbelievable that the Trump administration is systematically persecuting Cubans and Venezuelans, the most Republican Latinos in the US. what are they doing

The Circus Christmas party in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
What's a fictional holiday party you would love to attend?

My answers:

--the Christmas party from Fanny and Alexander
--the Yule feast in Nicola Griffith's Hild
--the Baileys' "welcome home" party for Harry in It's a Wonderful Life
--the office party in Die Hard; I'm sure nothing will go wrong

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter
Counterpoint:

The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.

So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.

There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

Ooh I like this. Zevran, Sten, Leliana, Merrill, Isabela, Dorian, Cassandra, Cole, Neve, Bellara, Harding...

I excluded the characters who are my perennial romance options because, in the words of Ariana, we can't be friends (Alistair, Bull, Emmrich)
Happy #DAFanFriday! OC question coming later as per usual, now let's talk about you 🫵

Assemble your party! Which characters do you think you could be friends with?

(You don't have to stop at 2-3 companions. If you wish it, imagine you have a mod that lets you have a bigger party 😄)

A mix of feelings coming off the first episode of @normandyfm.bsky.social's Veilguard season and seeing BioWare not so much as mention Dragon Age publicly on Dragon Age Day. But maybe it's for the best.
