“I would never listen to country” ok keep showing your ignorance, man some of the straight up best songwriting in the past 20 years is coming out of the Americana sur-genre. Some of the best crossover work is being done in Black country and hip-hop right now. You got to stir up your algorithms.

Being middle aged is Pulp Fiction playing on a TV in a bar and realizing a $5 milkshake would be very reasonable.

I would also add: Sign up to be an election worker. At the very least, a poll watcher. In 2024, I was a poll watcher. This year, I'm training to be an election worker. We need people with integrity who won't be cowed or corrupted if it comes to it.

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: this election is akin to the '24 general election in Britain. It is a vote against. Don't mistake it.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

we should normalize the social shaming of bad people. sorry you don't think your Maine summers are as idyllic as they used to be, John Roberts. but you sold democracy to the highest bidders among your friends you don't get to summer without sometimes seeing a kayaker with a poster that says you suck

At least once a week Ossoff cold-calls people in Georgia: mayors, school principals, clergy, farmers and so forth. Political affiliation doesn't matter, and the people have no idea it's coming. To some degree the last set of calls dictates the next one. It is smart for several reasons. First -

tips: - block annoying accounts without replying. - log off if you feel yourself getting upset. - ignore most discourse. - if an account keeps arguing with randos, you probably want to unfollow them. - mute words / phrases that you don’t like. cleans up the app significantly. 👍

The image—a dim side view of a hooded, slightly bent forward Doctor Doom raising his gauntleted right hand toward his face with fingers and thumb spread—looks like they caught Victor mid-facepalm after he realized he left the keys to his Reed Richards–crushing machine at home: "Sonuva—!"

Reminder that when you feel your mental health is particularly bad, you have full permission to take a sick day. Feeling mentally sick is the same thing as feeling physically sick, and it's ok if you need rest. I need this reminder often so I'm reminding you too.💗

What's especially notable is that after having his nose rubbed deep in the unwashed crack of his own stupidity, the Honorable Senator doubles down and insists Jack Smith is a perjuring dirtball. Even Emily Latella, on being lurched back to reality, offers up a quiet "nevermind."

Also reminder the best help for food pantries, or people struggling or any 'need' is cold hard cash. Always. Always always always. Food pantries can make that money stretch MUCH BETTER THAN YOU CAN, and it'll go to their most urgent needs. I mean, the other stuff is great too but cash is king
