We just had a little chat here about this one (not this version just this song) as it was the only thing I could think of but I absolutely would not post it. Phew I came up with something else. Couldn't miss a day. But srsly glad you did this one and added the bit of context too.

[Gord rant] And then the D train rattled overhead, and knocked the joor a, the door ajar, the joor adar, the door ajar, the jar *adore*, the door ajar.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Look For The Helpers: Americans Come Together To Protect Immigrant Neighbors From buying out food vendors’ products to blowing whistles in order to warn about immigration agents, Americans are finding new and creative ways to defend immigrant communities.

From Seattle to L.A., Chicago, and now Charlotte, communities are stepping up as Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda grows more violent and indiscriminate.

"The ways that community members are helping their immigrant neighbors truly are ingenious and varied."

My first thought too which is why I mentioned it although it was already off but if others turned it off today does that affect things more broadly???

hahah, my partner opened the door and poked it with a fork, so no disaster. It just made me think of Alien (having just watched Alien Earth) and that maybe there was a toothy monster about to burst forth and cause havoc

We tried your new Indian restaurant last night by the way and it was excellent (although the service was not ideal because they were overwhelmed)

Thanks. Shared on the CA Indivisible Slack and with the local person who has been doing an amazing job sourcing materials and many hands for putting these kits together.

At least one day next week we are eating a tremendous number of desserts just for our midday meal so it promises to be weird. Not soul crushing weird, just lovely weird.

And then all the replies are of course people delineating the ways in which these unrelated things are in fact unrelated and them increasingly sneering and melting down.

Can't these people go back to finding solitary causes for complex outcomes please?

Every skeet from a lefty-who-thinks-they-are-smarter-than-you on this website which is free is like

WELL I wonder how everyone who criticized [THING THAT HAPPENED THAT WAS DESERVING OF CRITICISM] feels now that [A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THING HAPPENED]

(and just filled with gotcha-sneering tone)
