Did not read carefully, was momentarily excited that AOC was going to challenge Vance to a track event. 12/10 would watch.
[email protected] : Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests?
AOC: I would stomp him.

Someone mention to him how this features in The Stand and Very Important in winning the war on Evil? @stephenking.bsky.social can take one for Team Science.

We can't say this enough.
Just cuz I suspect it's gonna be relevant: "underage women" is a contradiction in terms. There are adults and there are minors, who are children. Ditto "nonconsensual sex." That's rape. The only reason to play semantic games is because you benefit from obscuring the simplicity of these terms.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.
Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Just for once I'd like Democrats NOT to blink. Burn it all down.
Actual White House quote: “go fuck yourself.”

‘They will pay a huge price for this’: Shutdown-ready Trump expects Democrats to blink
Many Democrats believe the White House is bluffing and insist Republicans will bear responsibility for a shutdown in the public eye because the GOP controls the government.

I know it's hard to do this, but you really can hold two thoughts in your head simultaneously: Newsom is a slimy, opportunistic, soulless political climber whose instincts in this specific case are bang on the mark. "Liking" politicians has nothing to do with any of it. It's not a fan club.
People who hate Democrats: “Democrats suck, they need to do something!”
::Gavin Newsom does something::
“Not him! He sucks! I meant only the 2-3 in the party people I like!”

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race?
Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo?
Reporter: It was not.
Lander: Imagine that!

In response to a Q from @maxrn.bsky.social, Lander said: "This is a critical time to have a mayor who will stand up to ICE and stand up to Donald Trump... I am very grateful to the other mayoral candidates who came out here to call for my release and I really hope New Yorkers will elect one of us."

I was reading three books like you do, finished all three, and now am disgruntled. David Gerrold's Hella (audio, narrated by the fantastic Travis Baldree); The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso; and a re-read of Marge Piercy's Fly Away Home. Suggestions welcome!
