Screw the Boy Scouts. My kids are still members, and plan on staying that way, but one might have been disqualified by their stupid giving in to transphobes

Someone needs to leak it.

I’ve always wanted to set up a Rube Goldberg Machine contest. The final step would be to turn the final hex screw on an IKEA Calyx.

She's smart, she knows all this, and that there will never be any consequences for her, or any of them. The voters are to blame, the idiots who vote Red, and the rest of us who didn't could have stopped them.

And they applaud anyone who gives voice to that rage, even if it's ineffectual to any thinking person who understands the tactic.

Of course, there has been no minimization of the Right, nor Christians, no straight folks, nor any one else on that side, really. They still rule most of the country. But they feel the opening up is taken away from them, and they're not fully wrong. But it brings out their rage that others get light

You'll see conservatives saying that Pam Bondi ate at yesterday's hearing. They're right, in a way. She absolutely delivered exactly what Republican voters want: anger. They see the Left as having minimized them for years, and it has brought them great joy to see express rage at their "oppressors."

They're asking for too much. I know, I know, it's also not enough, but they only get drips when they ask for a little, and nothing at all when they ask for a lot.

The only truly successful rerouting in social media history was out of MySpace to Facebook. It was fast and thorough. The exodus from LiveJournal is one that needs to be studied because it never fully recoalesced.

Yep! And most of my maps at the first stage have gaps with [something pretty to demonstrate_____] on them.

It would be nice if someone in publishing might adress its connection, through Epstein's bespoke literary agent John Brockman, to so many of what we might call the Epsteinati. Since publishing was the hottest hotbed of the Me Too movement back in the day. Not holding my breath though.

Dick Cavett was pals with Epstein.

I am so disheartened.

Catherine O'Hara was one of those actors who could be called 'glue' as she held together so many scenes/films. Without her, half of the Christopher Guest movies fall apart more than once.
