Translation: Josh Shapiro believes he is uniquely suited to shit all over the people who have actually been doing the work FOR DECADES, and fawn over the people who would never vote for him but who will ship him off with the rest of the undesirables as soon as they get the chance.

That's right, you slimy little shitweasel, you cling to that majority with your bleeding fingernails. Ain't gonna help, bro.

Tell me about it. I'm glad for my neighbors' patience and good humor as we all wait in the post office line, but...it's a lot. You really do have to plan on a half hour minimum.

Which means, of course, that you cannot access your mail unless you can get to the post office during "business hours". It's simply not doable for many people. They have a small window on Saturday morning which is literally the only time they can get their mail. Once a week. That's it.

"Last-mile deliveries", yeah, they just drop it at the post office and say toodle-oo. Every time.
It's difficult because some rural towns (like mine) do not deliver mail to homes if you live within a certain distance of the post office. You MUST have a PO box and pick everything up.

I've said it for years: it's evident that Donald Trump doesn't have even one person who honestly cares for him. If he did, they'd have staged an intervention years ago.

She kind of has to be. She already deals with enough stochastic terrorism every time he mentions here name; if she was anything BUT charitable, it would be an order of magnitude worse.

I mean, real talk? Like girls and women have never been lonely? Like girls and women have never struggled with social expectations of "femininity"? Bros, we didn't just write the book on those subjects, we wrote the entire fucking encyclopedia. And no one held our hands while we did it.

The fucking "masculinity crisis"/"male loneliness epidemic" bullshit is just the old "let's make women responsible for the consequences of men's antisocial behavior" on steroids. Often quite literally.

"making money" (which, when a finance bro says it, means making a truly obscene amount of money) IS a liability when dealing with anyone with a conscience, because making that kind of money is always done on the backs of other people. Always.

...particularly given that they do seem able to kneecap research and development so effectively. One way or the other, deny funding for research, or make licensing impossible so there's no financial incentive to develop vaccines. All very nice and neat.

I remember watching the resignation speech on a tiny black and white TV with rabbit ears, with a whole bunch of people crowded around, in a cabin by a lake in the Adirondacks. We had the only TV that could get the channel. Absolutely wild.
