You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Got a text from a friend in Tennessee who I’ve not seen in a couple years that was just a link to an article about Matt Bevin serving jail time with a bunch of exclamation points. Love how widespread the hate is for that rat bastard and the deep schadenfreude we feel seeing him in cuffs.

a golden retriever trots along a cement pathway outside with a city skyline in the distance. his front left paw is suspended in the air as he has been caught mid-step. he looks over at the camera with a little grin. he's holding a long leafy branch in his mouth. can't believe his luck at finding this razzle dazzle stick.

I’m spending my evening volunteering at Hildegard House, so how about a quick thread about what that means? Hildegard House is Kentucky’s only comfort care or omega home. That is to say, it’s a place where people can come to live while receiving hospice care if they have nowhere else to stay.
