I had a similar experience when I had my first baby. I gained SO much weight, and in the first weeks after birth, was still heavy. I met a woman in a yoga class I wanted to be friends with, and she treated me with disdai,n until the weight came off and it became clear I was actually a thin person.

This is great. Any chance you might cut it to, say, 1-2 minutes so we can repost it around and people will watch the whole thing?

Yes, I love that whole region. I'm down on the Peninsula, but we go up to Tomales Bay often. You are up there?

Monterey? It was shot near Pt. Reyes, no? But yeah, come on down, seagulls!

Ha! Riots in Monterey now? Are the sea otters rebelling? Kelp forming battalions?

It's hard to read much predictive value into GOP confidence. They (almost) always act confident, which admittedly is itself a great political tactic. But they do it even when they're losing badly. For example, Cotton's last op-ed like this was followed by a big Dem win in the next election.

Hate and anger make them feel powerful.

Gavin Newsom agrees with you. So do the NYT and LAT, or at least they are giving that viewpoint some space. We are learning this narrative business!

I was alive then. Pretty much we were outside or reading, since TV was limited in our house, and I listed to the Four Tops and the Mindbenders

So much better than Newsom styling himself as an Internet whatever of the non-existent center;)

I agree. If I step back, I come inevitably to the conclusion that Trump in power is the single greatest danger to the most people (except white rich Christian people) on the planet. So any internecine struggles have to come second, albeit as excoriating, painful seconds.

OF COURSE THEY WILL SUPPORT it's all just a performance of Loyalty To Da Leader now

Use your noggin and stop allowing yourselves to be propagandized into transphobia—and maybe examine why you're pretending to care about something that affects fewer than 100 athletes in the country directly, but which has devastating affects for trans people generally as hate against them mounts.

I love this! Surprise is one of my favorite things, if it's happy. Hope you also enjoy it.

Both the NYT and the LAT, in this case, have had the truth on their front pages

Wow! They haven't switched to glorifying baldness? I feel like maybe the US has, or at least segments of it.

Accuse them of bias, but do it from a diner
