Try zumba! Not boring at all (it's like dancing, and I love to dance).

I've retrofitted a Shrek ogre beanie into a frog beanie.

So incredibly disturbing.

Where's the passive voice in what Derek wrote? I guess both St. Paul's prep and Harvard failed to properly educate Matt Stoller.

Sending healing vibes, Ariella!

Smart . . . I thought about at the time but didn't act, maybe hoping it was just a blip. But when he refused to concede in 2020, I knew we were in trouble.

Haven't moved yet but have done a fair amount of research. It's not easy for me to just pick up and abandon my life here, but it is easier for my kids, both of whom are looking at grad programs in Ireland/EU.

One grandparent or a parent. I made sure I secured my dual citizenship back in the day before I had children so that they would automatically qualify. The moment Trump refused to concede the 2020 election, I began the process of getting them formally registered because I knew what that meant.

I imagine they were told to (after the stony-faced generals' meeting). That doesn't mean some of them wouldn't have smiled anyway, but I do think there must have been instructions in this case.

Excellent news; we need this, just like they needed it in the 1950s.

Michigan church shooting suspect went on anti-LDS tirade, political candidate said Burton City Council candidate Kris Johns canvassed at Thomas Jacob Sanford's home less than a week before the Grand Blanc Township, Michigan shooting.

I haven't seen that either; in fact the Detroit Free Press just published a piece detailing an anti-LDS tirade that the suspect delivered to a city council candidate canvassing last week. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Ariella, I don't know how you do it! I am in awe of you. You are doing such important work.

Preach.

Well done. I too have been wondering why this person allegedly romantically involved with the suspect is so very cooperative. It's not making sense; such a person might feel deeply guilty knowing what they know but they would be reluctant at best. We're missing context.

I don't know if this still on the table in Florida; I'm hoping not, although given Florida, that hope is not high. It dates to 2023, and I haven't located very recent news about it. The interesting thing about this is that is acknowledges the existence of trans/nonbinary people, so wtf?

I tried to make it useful for copyediting, but it just isn't. You can't trust it to get things right, so you have double check everything it does, and by the time you've done that, you could have already done it yourself quicker.

I feel pretty good about VA 11! Fingers crossed.

My little town of Williamsburg, VA, continues to show up for various events, several of which have targeted our MIA congressman Rob Wittman. Early polling by House Majority Forward suggests Wittman's favorablity is upside down at 28/35. People here are mad. He won't hold a real town hall.

No one appears to behaving as if he doesn't have the power.

TRUTH. The amount of intellectual energy being devoted to this bullshit is astounding.
