Anyone else notice boomers get really hung up on whether someone "means" to hurt people feelings as equally important than actually hurting someone? Like yes, the whole maga "f your feelings" movement, but also just general "hey that was not nice" is met with "UGH but I wasn't being mean"

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

It's never been a better time to make friends with Amtrak. Chariot of the Northeast coast, luxury ride of the West and, most importantly, doesn't leave the ground.

What feels strange about this era is I fundamentally disagreed with Bush because his actions were antithetical to my beliefs. But I never doubted the people pulling the strings didn't have beliefs. I genuinely don't think Trump has more beliefs than "get money = get respect"

I'm going to be totally honest: I'm not enthused about the Buffy revival. If Buffy is coming back, it needs a whole new lore. The old show was great, but of it's time, and had plenty of problems that are deeply entangled with it's creator. I love Sarah, it's just not a good idea.

There's an incredibly stupid Op Ed in the NYT this morning about "How to stop worrying about Trump" which is basically "just don't think about it lol" and I felt compelled to leave a comment. I don't think it will get posted but I think it's worth something
