I mean yeah, a decade of no one holding Trump accountable for his much more obvious crimes, combined with both Nazi and Confederate rehabilitation projects on the right, was always going to lead to “actually we’ve never done ANYTHING wrong and you guys owe us apologies for every check on our power”

It’s kinda funny to me that so many of these scam emails targeting authors start with a multi-paragraph book report. Like an actual editor or agent would take the time to ‘splain your own book to you

🧵 Mark Bingham was a proud rugby player, member of the Cal national championship team in 1991, & a proud, out gay man. Together with Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Tom Burnett, & likely others, he fought the Flight 93 hijackers on 9/11 to prevent the plane from hitting a Capitol target.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

My husband and I both had the opportunity to buy in a ticket drop last week. There was very little actually available and what there was, was absurdly expensive IMO. Anyway, not worth it. Guess my Olympic experience is still going to be vague memories of LA ‘84
