The issue isn't "are we capable of talking to each other."
It's "are we capable of respecting each other."

This beautiful nerd has finally mastered her potty training and is ready to find her forever home. Scarlett is nearly a year old, about 18 lbs and good with other dogs and with cats. She's gentle and food motivated. New folks make her nervous, but gets used to them quickly. She's a master snuggler.

Because yes, Thanksgiving as a national holiday has to do with the Civil War and not the Puritans or previously proclaimed days of Thanksgiving (of which there were hundreds) - so be sure, as you gather about the table, to give thanks for the victories brought by Union arms at Vicksburg & Gettysburg

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

i talk a lot of shit about george washington but i will say the greatest thing he ever did was give up his military commission after the war was won. the military is subservient to the elected leadership and elected leadership answers to us - THE PEOPLE. this is the bedrock of american democracy.

Today is voting day for tons of local races. School board votes matter. Taxes & social funding matter. The Nazis have worked very hard to disenfranchise us because they know they don’t have the votes if we show up. Fuck the Nazis at the polls, fuck the Nazis in the streets & fuck the Nazis for life.

This is amazing.
My big takeaway is that a lot of these Trump appointees, and definitely Lindsey Halligan, are desperately insecure about how stupid/unqualified they are for the positions they hold.
Which just tells me we should talk about it more.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
