I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

Pretty sure I heard the Israeli national anthem in the instrumental part at the end of that American Express commercial during Eagles/Jags?

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

In general, we Dems and left leaners more broadly tend toward sad sack-ism, like “I will not allow myself to hope because one time I hoped and it didn’t happen and it made me sad.” I don’t say this unkindly but please shut the fuck up.

I get the worry that no matter how well Dems do, the media will paint it as a disappointment, and as a counterweight to that worry I suggest we all have some self respect and fight like hell and celebrate the wins where they come rather than letting someone else tell us what we’re allowed to do.

For the third straight postseason, the Phillies blow a Game 1 lead in the seventh inning or later. It's happening all over again. They lose, 5-3, and they face elimination Wednesday afternoon.

This was me. "I Melt With You" by Modern English. Heard it on the radio a couple of times, and then spent more than half of high school (when the song was ~15 years old) trying to remember how it went and hoping to hear it again.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

People tell me they like suits but don't have occasions to wear one. You can wear a suit to court, funerals, and religious services. Doesn't have to be your trial, friend's burial, or religion you believe in. Go to random trials, attend a stranger's burial, join multiple religions. Try it sometime.

Many people think this but it's not true! Data centers are a small rounding error compared to agriculture. And it pains me that this is the case as a golf hater but golf no longer consumes meaningful amounts of water as most courses in the southwest have switched to graywater irrigation

e.g. Las Vegas is a huge and fast-growing metro area in one of the driest parts of the southwest and is now a net CONTRIBUTOR to Colorado River flows because they took water conservation extremely seriously. People don't actually use that much water! It's the farms!

Huge grain of salt with prediction markets obviously but per Polymarket, gamblers think the chances of a Democrat winning the Maine senate seat just increased by a ton relative to the last few weeks, presumably because they think Platner is gone and his replacement won't be a stiff.
Polymarket graph showing 64% chance of Maine Senate Election Winner being a Democrat, up from about 50%.

The correct statement for Dems to give is this: It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.
