You really have to get them fresh, when they're at their best. Otherwise they're terrible. Actually, they're always terrible, it's just that it's WORTH IT.

What does "stands in defense" mean? They should walk out in defense, imo.

Annie Dillard, Meditative Author of ‘Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,’ Dies at 81
Her Thoreau-like account of journeys in the woods, published when she was 28, was the first of many ruminations on life and nature, good and evil.

My supermarket's new app is celebrating its first month of whatever, and is thanking me for being "part of this journey." Jesus, people. I just want to shop, I'm not on your journey.

It’s in this hot AF part of the summer, surrounded by wildfire smoke from thousands of miles away, unable to eat lettuce that I find myself thinking maybe we should’ve made some different decisions.

Not saying anything was an option that was just sitting right there, Senator. No one on the right side of history is going to care that you thought Lindsay was a fun, cool colleague when he wasn't being a fascist's toadie.

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.

Everyone talks about how it's a problem the president is an 80-year-old senile racist who makes shit up, but let's not forget that Sam Alito is a 76-year-old senile racist who also makes shit up.

"Hate" the Democratic Party? Or want more from it? This is an incredibly tone deaf thing to say at any time, but especially when what's facing us -- us being Democrats, Democratic Socialists, anyone who isn't GOP/MAGA -- is the annihilation of democracy.
