Doesn’t matter if it’s Qatar or Quebec, you don’t attack your friends.

Other free suggestions:
- base it on a Shakespeare play like the other Lion King films
-not use Lin-Manuel Miranda
-use hand-drawn animation
-not use Lin-Manuel Miranda
-maybe not British voice actors!

Finally watched the Mufasa prequel, and… it just could have been so much better if only Disney had gotten Elton John to do the songs instead of Lin-Manuel Miranda.

It physically pains me that Trump and Musk are laying off our expert public servants and replacing them with unreliable MAGAcrats who will absolutely be feeding us economic, security, health, and even frickin weather lies to satisfy his majesty’s fragile whims.

McElroy: Mass deportations β€˜incompatible with Catholic doctrine’ β€œThe Catholic Church teaches that a country has the right to control its borders. And our nation’s desire to do that is a legitimate effort,” McElroy said Monday.

Michigan House ends session in boycotts, acrimony and dead legislation The Michigan House adjourned Thursday until the end of the year following a days-long boycott of session that ended with an hour-long call of the House

Over 15 years of working in state legislatures across the country, I've never seen a session this bad. The autopsy of what happened this lame duck will not be kind to Dems (except you Senate, you're great)

SML Brinks skewers the House: β€œLegislators are tasked with the responsibility of using every tool available to advocate for their constituents and communities, and β€˜frustrated’ is too light of a word to describe my dismay that the House failed to meet its obligations in this historic moment.” #MILeg

Worshipers returned to the Notre-Dame on Sunday evening as its first regular Mass was celebrated below the soaring stone arches. β€œFire has not conquered stone, despair has not conquered life,” the rector of the cathedral declared in his opening remarks. nyti.ms/3VuEaqW

Think public transit β€œdoesn’t work” in your city or suburb? If that’s true, it wasn’t a foregone conclusionβ€” it’s because of choices made. Land-use, funding, infrastructure & operational decisions. If u do fundamentals like frequency wrong, it fails.

Make good choices.

Opinion | Note to Democrats: It’s Time to Take Up Your Hammers There is a straight line from homeless schoolchildren to Donald Trump’s election victory.

I don’t have too many hard lines but building more housing ASAP is both a political and moral imperative and any state or local Democrat who gets in the way of it is in the wrong. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/o...

For a new generation of Democrats to step up, more of the older generation of Dems will have to step aside β€” and I think we need to be more aggressive about forcing that convo earlier moving forward.

Trump isn’t even president yet, but he already wants to make groceries more expensive for Americans.

I….have thoughts on this. Idk. I’d rather they develop that massive surface lot first. Maybe try to consolidate tenants into the towers next and ask for state money only last, if absolutely dire?
