Republicans need to stop talking about bathrooms and junior high volleyball teams and start focusing on issues people actually care about

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

I’m watching the Kathryn Bigelow nuclear war movie and just wanna say now that I’d vastly prefer any of the actors involved to be in charge should we face a nuclear threat than pretty much any Trump cabinet member. Hegseth? No, give me Jared Harris

I kind of rolled my eyes, but in the end it wasn’t as much of a headache as I expected. Hard to figure out what the purples would be, though.

I have a friend planning basement renovations around it.

pretty fucked up you can’t buy a Tootsie roll the size of a bologna and have it sliced at the deli for sandwiches

I was going to say that actually sounds like a lot of fun, but then I did the conversion from kg to lbs and I bow to your stamina.

That might be worth a trip. I love Powells but getting to Portland is a bit of work.

Let me guess. Powells?

let me share a little story about a remarkable wasp that I encountered yesterday in our local deserts
