They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Feels like Trump is striking a somewhat similar tone re: Iran as Bush's "Mission Accomplished" moment with Iraq.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Do not split

I'm upset that this was reported from Portland, but can't dispute its authenticity.

It is hard to write a story, especially a prequel, that enhances pre-existing source material and makes it better and more poignant. Andor is the rare masterclass in that; Rogue One was already my favorite Star Wars movie. Watching it after finishing Andor, and it somehow hits even better.

Time to finally unclench. First major trophy in club history. #COYP #CPFC #FACup

10 minutes left, nerves kicking in... #COYP #FACup

In case your heart needs a little melting amidst the perpetual doom scroll.

"And let me tell you: getting all of those Northwest people to agree on something? That almost never happens." So true, and amazing writing about what it feels like reading media written about our little corner of the country.

The four year old yesterday: "I am an artist. I am so creative." I'm doing whatever I can to nurture and preserve that feeling for her, and I love that her teachers do, too. ❤️

Andor season 2 has just been amazing so far. Weaving the storylines together as Mon Mothma dances, and the raw emotion of all of it was phenomenally well done. I can't wait for the remainder of the season.

Trans friends, no amount of legal shell games and weaponized bigotry will make you anything less than perfect beings exactly as you are and wish to be.

Conversations with the four year old, talking about a new coworker who does aqua- and mariculture work. 4yo: "Daddy, do you work in the ocean." Me: "No, I'm an accountant." 4yo: "No daddy, you're not a countant, you're a nerd!"

On a brace? Time to get subbed out. So it is written, so it shall be, forevermore. #rctid

Fun little 7-1 trophy to kick off the format. I love Tarkir, so glad Wizards came back to the plane. Thought this would be a 4-3 deck at best, but Abzan does silly things. #mtg
