The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I keep thinking about "strong floor no ceiling" and how insane it is to introduce a slogan where 1/2 the words are telling a very tiny very rich segment of the population that you won't restrict them at all and 1/2 the words are telling everyone else you'll just try to keep shit from getting worse
A wealth tax is a big tent policy unless the only people you care about are billionaires.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

probably my most Maude Flanders belief/feeling is: I don't like the fucking Grinch. or rather, I don't like how he's everywhere on everything now and it feels like a bad sign for our society that we have enthusiastically embraced the Mean Christmas Shithead
