It would be just like my family to be like "Pray for her!!!" and I'm just fine, except unable to do a promo for The Grand Ol Opry because who give a shit

There’s a lot of folks on here who are older than I realize. I pray to keep aging gracefully so I can look youthful far into the future.

I swear I've read it in an actual book as: he bumped into Dan Aykroyd in a hotel lobby, but my mind could be conflating several incidents involving stupid shit in the 80s

I think about Isaac Asimov being so fucking pissed off that filming for Ghostbusters was disrupting half of Midtown that he found Dan Aykroyd on set to bitch him out

I think about it a lot, yeah

Your state party's website should have all local county contacts. If you're in Camden County NJ for instance:

At a certain point (the "So I tried it myself to see and here are the results" point) it's probably not for a reason other than attention.

For instance, my gif is relevant, the automatically generated alt text is not. Is this protest?

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

(In a caucus state. In a primary state, the polls are the same as the general election.)

Thank you!!! It's always just me and one other totally online grandma who show up to vote progressive!! One time we were made to stand at the back of the room! Last year I was told I wasn't allowed to make public comment because I was a No Biden vote 🙃

Sure, you contact your county's election office and register for the party you want to caucus with.

Even if your state has a primary instead of a caucus, the same general principle applies.

You're going to also show up at a Democratic caucus and ask that they vote for your candidate, right? I don't like being the only one standing there, last year was brutal
