logically then, the next democratic administration can do whatever they want to these freaks as well, right? Is that how it works?

I'm very tired of so much of the world going to shit because of people who couldn't cut it in show biz.

DUUUUUUUUDE. Get'em Anand. And as the thread says later on, cities should understand this and invest in housing/infrastructure so the people who need it can find a safe place to exist.

I think you’re right about it.

Any suggestions for middle grade books with arab protagonists? My kid just said they dont like being arab because "we're always the bad guys."

In the last 24 hours, I've seen two #birds in my backyard that I've never seen there before. I've seen them other places, but not in my backyard. Yellow-Rumped Warbler and a Red-Breasted Sapsucker. Very fun!

I'm about to tell my 13yo that he can't get a certain video game for the Nintendo because it's too violent and, wow, I feel like such a square.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

Just got the stickers. My therian-adjacent 9yo loved the wolf face and I thought the Ruddy duck sticker was lovely. Thanks for making them!

I will likely be flying from the PNW to Edinburgh next spring so I'm paying CLOSE attention to this story. Also, as much as it sucks to go through this, it has been a very entertaining read.

Just finished a rewatch of Loki s1+2 and man oh man that is a good show. Even better the second time through.

You kinda can’t go wrong anywhere. Honestly just throw a dart at a map and you’ll be close to something good. Pyro pizza is a personal favorite. Matt’s BBQ is also really tasty.

I think our mainstream media is drawn to shame. GOP has none so media just moves on. Dems have shame to spare so the coverage is extremely lopsided.

I would love to see one of these guys but also feel they should be left tf alone.

It's stunning to think how easy it would be to get this question right and take a moral stand. It would simply involve talking to a single person. And yet . . .

This is good, but he could have given basically the same answer for the trans kids in sports question as well, and didn't.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
