“BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT IT PARALYZES THE STOMACH?!?”

I can’t with these people.

Maybe it would. But that’s a big risk.

Theres a sign in Lamar Valley that tells the story of wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone and the subsequent improvement in elk herd health and aquatic biodiversity. It’s my kid’s favorite part of the park. We had to stop & read the sign every time we drove past it, multiple times per day sometimes.

The nearest one is two hours away from me. Thankfully.

Much better than I’d have done regardless.

Wait til you get to go to the Container Store and design your own laundry room organizer. It’s super exciting.

Unfortunately true. I don’t understand how, but it is.

The thing is, the people who are in denial will deny that this is a cost. They think this is fine.

Yes but sometimes a little fantasy can help you cope with or find the courage to change reality.

Idk. Maybe.

Watched them both. Neither gives you a world of hope. Bartlett was flawed but principled and genuinely interested in the well-being of the people he was supposed to govern. I so desperately want to believe that this is a real possibility.

Yep. The shooting and stuff are who he is. You can’t separate them.
January 25, 2026 at 2:35 PM
Same. Disappointed in some who are defending it, but others give me hope.
January 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM
That tracks.
