Love these guys!

Is this different from goSuperego, or will my current subscription still work?

Love the Bunny!

I think there are also some sports where there is almost a fetishizing of letting coaches be assholes to you, letting them run everything, as if your submission to that is key to be great.

I think a role model whose approach is “I’m the athlete, and it’s my body, so I’m the boss” is useful.

Thank you! I was actually having to listen to ads!

Such a good writer. The futility of heroism and fodder for contemplations on religion.

Neither can AI (nor Coral) recognize quality. If it could it would gobble up this essay!

Holy shit. I hate him so much.

2020 presidential candidate. Bernie Sanders wanted to abolish ice and place Citizenship and Immigration under the Dept of State. In case you're wondering why us "Bernie Bros" can't just get over it. #Abolishice #fuckice

Here are multiple still shots of Alex Pretti holding what is obviously a phone in his right hand. Not a gun. Right-Wing posters all over the Internet on social media are still claiming as of today that Alex Pretti was holding a gun in his right hand and was threatening ICE agents with his gun.

Going on my To Read list.

And why no investigations or indictments? At least for lying to Congress?

There was a strange justice to the fact that, after all of her "and that's when I knew I had to leave, " she got fired.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

This one is complicated by the fact that the author is complicit, but boy, she pulls no punches.

Noem and Rohm - ICE and SA. Not hyperbole. It's the playbook. From the Make [insert country name] Great Again slogan, it's their playbook.

Watching "Hitler and the Nazis" on Netflix and feeling sick. Absolutely sick. I wish there was footage of people who must have been watching the swooning acolytes of the their dear Fuhrer and thinking, "what the fuck?!"

Shit. Retired in 2024 ready to travel and enjoy life.
Woke up in 2025 living in an autocracy with our worst demons fully in charge.

Jeez Louise. Thanks for the perfect "head in the sand " response.

I don't disagree, but the limits of "growth" have become, well I was going to say undeniable, but...
I think late stage is just that we can see the end from here.

In my mind it has to do with the fact that it requires growth and growth is not sustainable.

Alternatively, deface your 2026 card. The classic graffiti penis works well.

Buy your America the Beautiful pass this month and it's good to December 2026 and you don't have to look at the petty monster whose only interaction with an NPS site was to raze part of it.
