Same with WaPo this go around. The caving is just... pathetic.

That and the Baltimore Banner (plus PBS passport) are also my jam. Same team, different flavors.

Seems like people don't want to read government and oligarch controlled messaging.

Live from Audi Field, where DC Power's Carleigh Frilles did the new DCU flag-planting ceremony pre-game as part of Pride Night.

I'd argue the overall pre-game DC Power promo effort tonight is the biggest I've seen out of DCU yet. It's not where it needs to be, but it's something.

Let us honor those in public life who take risks, who speak out, who stand up for what is right, who work to reduce gun violence, who advocate for everyone's rights.

Democrats need to communicate everywhere.

Podcasts to streaming to vertical video to TV to radio to email newsletters to conservative media to rural weekly print newspapers. On every medium known to voters, and to potential voters. Communicating authentically. 24/7.

Honestly a Cataphract heavy tank sounds deliciously warfarish. Similar in vein to the Crusader tank the british army used.

Go for either a fast /predator animal (Hence Leopard for modern Germans). Wolf (or Lupine if you wanna go Latin'ish' or just take the name of their earlier era fast cavalry and call it that or some version of that.

EG Turkapol Light Tank (Eastern Roman in history)

What type of imperial we going for? Warhammer? Roman? China? English?

A weekend away from the computer does a world of good for my soul it appears.

Anyone else loving this super cold weather here in the DC Area? Absolutely makes me feel more in the mood for the holidays.

Loving the "pick your feeds' option. Disliking the bots that are just algorithm creatures (following zero, only posting long lists of nerdy things to get into the feed).

But hey, I can PICK a feed and still BLOCK if I want! yay #blsky

Taking a well earned recovery day after two thanksgiving meals to go to another one tomorrow (oh my poor stomach)

Also thankful for the #thanksgivingdayparade as I can enjoy riverdance yet again #riverdance

Thankful for being able to cancel subscriptions I no longer need more easily and cutting cable bills. Too many other options out there to make paying so much $$ a month watching just local news primarily (switched to a local channels only plan and it hasn't changed what or how we watch at all)
