Well done! Rest up. Then you’ll be ready to go out again and fight the fight.

It’s like when Ignaz Semmelweis told doctors they should wash their hands to avoid infecting laboring women and they were so offended at the implication that they, as gentlemen, could be dirty that they drove him to a breakdown and sent him to an asylum.

Furthermore, many of them will line up first for free food, even if they don’t need it, and take more than their share if they can because “it’s there for everyone, so it’d be stupid to pass it up.”

It can’t go back to being what it was, but it can be rebuilt, hopefully along the same lines but better.

Probably and yes. Also, behind door number C we have “narcissists will never admit they were wrong.”

So Hegdeath, et al. breach ALL the security rules and regs in the whole entire book and everyone shrugs and moves on, but this person criticizes the regime and gets dismissed? So, that’s where we are. Great.

You don’t know them. They go to another school.

Yeah, I spent my high school and college history classes thinking, “boy, that sucked! I’m glad I didn’t have to live through that.” And now I have to live through one of That (having now lived through a couple of other Thats). I’m sick of That. I want to live in uninteresting times.

Ace people are literally living the “virtuous life” that the terminally rightward would claim is ideal. How do they justify being mad about it??

I remember the “grittiness” backlash to that on TV shows in the 80s because people were so over the perceived pap of those “everything is perfect and easy” shows, because they were so far from people’s real experiences.

Been wondering that myself.

Start calling it the “Trump Recession/Depression” and referring to him as “that loser Trump”, and saying “It’s Trump’s fault” loud enough and often enough and he might get freaked enough to change course.

I was just telling someone that the other day. If there comes a chance months or years from now to rebuild the departments that are currently being trashed, it’s going to look like a bunch of partisan meanies firing “innocent” workers or “sinking our tax dollars into unnecessary bureaucracy”.

I wonder if these people were counted in the total number of people participating in protests.

So we’re back to indulgences again, then?

Gender affirming care for he, but not for thee.

Knowing when an active volcano might erupt seems like vital knowledge to track and share. Taking away that ability is not in the interest of the people. So many ways they’re taking away things that serve and protect US citizens.

Galling that real heroes are being removed at the behest of a classic example of a Fortunate Son.

Yeah, the Vichy government is not remembered well by history.

Good luck with the thing. Hope it helps when you do it.

Like, why do they think trans people object to folks choosing to detransition? If a gender isn’t right for you, don’t force yourself to live in it. Being forced to detransition (or being forced to transition) is terrible, because of the forcing part. And the living in not-the-right-gender part.

About as well as they understand that “reasonable police reform” gave us George Floyd’s murder almost 30 years after Rodney King’s beating. And that presenting yourself at a border is literally how you’re supposed to claim asylum. And that prepubescent kids don’t ever get any medical transition.

To say nothing of the fact that none of his points have ever actually worked the way he thinks they do.

I had to root for the mouse when they were beefing with DeSatan. It felt unnatural. I am enormously displeased to see the usual order of this tiny sliver of the universe restored in this current era of hateful chaos.

So dude admits that he’s a predator that would totally assault women in bathrooms…and oh hey look, he’s not trans.

Do you know what kind of dog Ivy is? Bonnie came from the shelter, so we don’t know. Best guess is some sort of hound mix. Maybe some Springer Spaniel or something mixed in.

Here’s my Bonnie, ever-hopeful that those same kinds of pets will happen to her.

Whoa! Our dogs could be twins! What’s your dog’s name?

Just now? I’d have figured that a “top general” would be more intelligent and insightful than that. Or at least more aware of the scuttlebutt.

Noooo! It’s the main big fabric dealer around here. Also, I refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby.

We know from bones that Neanderthals cared for their injured, sick, and elderly community members. That spark of humanity shines to us through the millennia. And here we are, being less humane than Neanderthals. WTAF, humans??

Right? I keep thinking what we could be doing right now instead of this *gestures broadly at everything*. I want to be in that other timeline.

I’M TIRED OF WINTER. I DO NOT LIKE BEING COLD. (NOR DO I LIKE BEING TOO HOT.) I NEED TO LIVE IN PERPETUAL PERFECT FALL OR SPRING DAY.

Can we yell-yell? Is profanity allowed? I’ve only managed to talk to low level staffers at my D reps office and I don’t want to yell at them. I would leave a salty voicemail with my R senators offices, but I don’t want to get discounted for not following decorum or something.
