Yikes. Just Geese, and only because people I trusted were raving about them a couple of weeks ago. (and I ended up with the same impression that you did.)

My local newspaper’s (Fort Worth, TX) Bluesky feed is mostly out-of-state crime and celebrity news.

I asked GPT to come up with a new Democratic slogan that is "trite, empty, and a poor fit for the moment" but that would "please the donor class." All 10 of its suggestions were better than this one.

Pretty sure that originated with Bill Clinton, which is such a perfect encapsulation of how it doesn't fit this moment.

Also 2x: Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Live, Pearl Jam, Heart, Pond, Garbage, U2, Howard Jones, Simple Minds, Crowded House, Finn Brothers, Liz Phair, Nine Inch Nails. . .

Newt Gingrich walked so that Bessent and Mike Johnson could run with that g**damn smirk.

Last week I showed my students my written prediction from the 2024 Election (so, before 6-7 was a thing), and it contained the phrase "Harris will win 6 or 7 swing states." I proclaimed, "Ha! 6-7!" and they all laughed and gave me a look that I think (??) indicated laughing w/ me.
