I got the Fetterman email sent by a right wing bulk mailer, and this is the text at the bottom of the email. I can abide a Democrat who isn't interested in socialism, but I cannot abide a Democrat who hates socialism so much that he cozies up to the other party.

I don't look out the windows as much as I did as a kid, but this (near Mammoth Mountain) struck me

Just two buds, hanging out, starting their engines, getting in my way of getting to my gate

Two United 737s, on the left a 737-900, on the right a 737 Max 8, starting up their engines at SFO.

"Ed Sheeran is what happens when a pair of khakis learns how to play the acoustic guitar" - can't remember the source, but this is how this quote comes across. If you have a platform, and don't use it because you want to play it safe, you are human khakis. Be punk.

A quote of Ed Sheeran:

“There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics – my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum. I respect Macklemore’s strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes. However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace. I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed. If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change. There are different approaches to being an advocate for change."
