“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

Very interesting that all my history podcasts (ok just 2) decided to do 600 part series on Himmler at the same time. Basically my entire podcast feed is full of takes on Himmler right now. Wonder why!!!!?

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

I've taken up stress knitting (again). Swatching for gauge with this mohair for a light sweater blouse situation. Obsessed with this green 😍

A gauge swatch cast on (20 stitches, about an inch and a half long). Light strands of pea (or puke) green mohair.

Lee Atwater really did a number on US politics when he fully incorporated professional wrestling tactics. If you get kayfabe you shouldn't be surprised by anything coming out of the right. And all the pyro? Yup.
