So true! There’s something so satisfying about checking on the subtle daily evolution. It’s a lot like gardening in that way.

A young golden crowned sparrow showed up in our yard with a missing tail. We instantly named him “Bob“ and worried about his survival – but I think you’ll agree that Bob is doing JUST FINE.

This has to be one of the most inexpensive hobbies there is. That’s like … two bucks worth of chiles and a handful of salt. 🖤🔥

I swear if our species ever invents a means of faster-than-light communication it will take us less than a generation to ignore it entirely what for all offers of a timeshares off Alpha Centauri and urgent messages from a boss stuck in the Kuiper Belt and in need of an urgent favor.

This post I think correctly points out that the huge network of off-shore engagement accounts points less toward a concerted foreign effort to destabilize the US and more toward the observable fact that MAGA is a group of the dumbest idiots on the planet
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Anyway, it's kind of insane that Carville's claim to fame was getting a candidate 43% in a presidential election (the lowest winning share of the popular vote since Woodrow Wilson) and we've had to hear from him non-stop for three+ decades.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??
