The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.
I am so specifically called out by this news.

Joseph Scrimshaw tweet from 2022: "Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, 'What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is.' And my stove is left blinking and screaming, 'IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!' "
Ah, it's that time again...

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

I broke the glass around my camera so now there are weird prism things BUT I have taken myself out for a leisurely German food dinner, with a delicious fall cocktail, before going to see Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons.
