Let's bring this back!

Standing offer, always valid: Name five books you love, and I will recommend a book I think you'll like. It will likely be queer. It will definitely be sff.

Once again, the Dems that exist in the minds of the US rightwing are so much cooler than the Dems that actually exist in the world.

I'm very happy about the ceasefire.

However, this is the second time the sides have embarked on the first phase of a ceasefire, and they didn't make it to the second phase last time.

pps. I first wrote it a couple of years ago, after the start of the genocide.

(ps. I know some people hate USians as a term, and I was considering finding a substitute, but I found out I was on a blocklist of "anti Americans" for using it, so I'm gonna keep doing that.

Y'all have no idea how hard it was for me to first write "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Because it is drilled into Israelis that it means genocide, just as it is for USians, but moreso.

And it doesn't. Or, to be precise, it doesn't have to.

I fully agree with this. To be accepted as a fellow nation, Israel would have to be dismantled, disarmed, and probably turned into the non-ethnostate that would be Palestine.

A state for all its people that is truly free, from the river to the fucking sea.

Apropos absolutely nothing else there is still a rather rude awakening which is yet to come for those in the Democratic Party and in the camp of liberalism writ large if they think Israel's public image is at all recoverable among young and nonwhite voters and apparatchiks.

I'm gonna go with favorite, which I think is the Johns, Flansburgh and Linnell, from They Might Be Giants.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

After a litany of disappointing guys in Beach House, suddenly swerving to "I got a lake house in Canada, and I'm probably gonna harvest your organs" is such a masterful stroke. A true "wait WHAT?" moment.

I absolutely hate this for you. You deserve to have your books in stores. They are very good books!

I hope for a revenge narrative where you write a massive best seller out of sheer spite.

Basketball is very good

Bonner almost made that shot with no time left.

But she didn't, and the Aces win 90-88.

Kiah Stokes is in the game for 0.3 seconds.

Sometimes you have an incredible comeback, play an amazing quarter, and then A'ja Wilson A'ja Wilsons you with 0.3 to go.

5 seconds to go. 88-88. Timely Becky Hammon timeout.

This is a GAME, friends.

Copper was a non factor for three and a half quarters, but there's a reason they call her KFC, and it's not about chicken. There's also a reason she's a past finals mvp.

It's KFC time as Copper cuts the aces lead to ONE

Hard to watch her being helped to the back.

The "refs you suck" chant is correct... just not about this one particular call.

Bell's leg - or knee? - hitting Satou's head was a complete accident, but an incredibly unfortunate one.

We've seen the Mercury come back a LOT in these playoffs, so I'm not counting them out.

That said, the Aces are looking real good right now. One quarter to go, they are up 76-59.

I, too, have resentment in my heart towards Jewell Loyd after last year in Seattle, but that doesn't mean people can just hit her on the head.
