internet please help me find the young child who so earnestly sobbed "this is the *worst* part of my day!" outside my apartment this afternoon, I'm so here with them in that moment
Anyways.
"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."
Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.
Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

An unstated part of this article: There is an enormously long history of calling Jewish athletes in particular soft. They did it to Koufax, they did it to Hank Greenberg. 1/

Sorry, that’s the way *what* is, exactly?

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
I feel like I reckon with this every day and I've come to the conclusion that if you as an adult don't feel this level of devastation when we fail to protect kids, when they're afraid for no good reason at all, you are not as well-adjusted as you think you are
In danger of being a broken record a bit but really, truly, take comfort and strength in knowing this *is* most of us. It’s true it should be all of us and it sucks it’s not. But most everyone hates this stuff.

In a lot of ways the 2023-2025 Dodgers were the weakest of this period of success, but they just finally got the luck they missed in prior years. Tucker and Díaz gets this team close to the 2019-2022 level where they were not exactly invincible
