The Silhouette’s story had a bigger impact for me for being visualized rather than a side anecdote in Hollis’s memoir.

I so badly want NYC’s No Kings to feature an inflatable water dog brigade. Entire blocks of people marching under the SABRETT banner.

You know, when I saw Rush at the Meadowlands in 1986, I kind of enjoyed the fact that there were lots and lots of us who liked them, it was fun to be part of a big fandom, I dunno

This was 2019. Think she voted for him again in 2020 and 2024? Cause I do.

Bottom of the ocean?

Howard the Duck‘s redeeming feature is a hilarious novelization by superb humorist Ellis Weiner. Absolutely laugh-out-loud funny. Read it if you can find it!

This is a really well done—I hope it catches on: A silent roadside protest staged over the weekend in Westerville, Ohio, and posted to the Facebook page of the Westerville Progressive Alliance.

“But if we tell the plain truth, Republicans will yell at us”

A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work. The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things. "I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Let’s hear it for Crystal Minton, the ur-Trump voter.

Let me guess? “He‘s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting”?

Ahhhh I saw that at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival a few years ago! Seeing it in an outdoor theater was perfect. God, was that good.

Shoulda thought of that earlier, I guess?

Just noticed you said Judith Krantz when you meant Judith Rossner - back to devouring this amazing article!

Have you had a Ludacrisp? I used to just be a regular Fuji person but Ludacrisps blew my mind. They taste like Juicy Fruit gum! It's amazing!

Please tell me you borrowed a Segway for this?

"Anyplace that US citizens enjoy visiting on vacation is not nearly enough of a torture location for our purposes"

Will you take your car to get washed tomorrow pls, so it ends up not raining??

...what Jack was like initially, their life together as the drinking got bad, how she was ready to leave him and how he asked her for more time.

"Divorce went back to committee, unvoted on." That line has never left me. (I didn't know what a committee was when I was 12.)

This was my first King book and I read it when I was too young, but I remember it piercingly. There's a long internal monologue in Wendy's mind where you see the marriage from her perspective, including stuff with her mom...

If it’s a permission structure for a climb-down and will get people to drift away so they don’t have to admit to a mistake, I’m ALL FOR IT

Amazon inflatable frog costume

Earlier this week it was 100+ sold, then 300+, yesterday it was 600+, and this morning it was sold out.

This is why inflatable frog protests are something that completely throws them off balance. And why we need to do much, much, MUCH more of that kind of absurdist ridicule.

When I was teaching freshman English composition decades ago, the three things I said (nicely!) to challenge my students’ assertions were “Oh yeah?” “So what?“ and “Says who?”

I feel like we should be saying this kind of thing to our government much, much more often.

One week from right now, millions of Americans will gather in every state for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history. Join your local No Kings Day event to make it clear that We The People won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Oh that is so annoying! It took GLUON a few days ago.
