You will kinda take this personally when you’re 50 and older. Because you ARE falling apart and they SHOULD just put you in a plastic bag.
@maskedscheduler Hahaha
It's not really about protecting kids. They don't fight to protect them from guns. They don't fight to protect them from infectious diseases. They don't fight to protect them from pollution or hunger or climate change or homelessness.
'Protecting kids' is just the easiest way to attack everyone they want to attack.
@maskedscheduler He’s a unique evil. I did the same even though it meant giving up a lot of great decade-long relationships. But also have never for a moment thought there was any other possible reaction.
Hunter Biden has actually been a very useful case study for the difference in this country between the right and the left.
I’ve never heard anyone in my liberal circles suggest he shouldn’t be investigated and prosecuted if there’s evidence of wrongdoing. Joe Biden hasn’t blathered endlessly about political witch hunts, hasn’t insulted and attacked everyone involved in the process, and won’t make this a violence-inducing talking point at cultish campaign rallies. Because we’d think that’s nuts.
My brother, a cook who—like our mother—never sends a recipe without noting several modifications.
I—a lousy cook who rarely cooks—never really know how to interpret measurements like ‘more’ or ‘way more’ or ‘less.’
@feld It's tough because I understand why we don't. But there really is the Emmett Till principle of showing the world what monsters did to a child -- and I think many families would probably consent on that basis.
Breath fairly taken away by this note at the end of Washington Post article illustrating with 3D models the destruction caused by an AR-15’s bullets.
It’s not just theoretical. With autopsy reports and family consent, they use those 3D models to show us how Dylan Pozner (6) and Peter Wang (15) were killed. Thoughts and prayers can fuck themselves.
If you’re up to it, I think it’s useful knowledge, and here’s a gift link: https://wapo.st/3B5O47K
@maskedscheduler What a great image, too.
I feel like we’re gonna look back on this whole positive-words-on-walls thing like they’re the macramé owls of the 2020s.
Also thrilled that SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE is back for another season. One of the most emotionally honest shows I’ve ever seen. So honest I’m actually drawn to its earnest goodness, which would normally drive me crazy.
I mean, sure, it's embarrassing for Tucker Carlson and it'll interrupt his revenue stream. But I don't think someone with impeccable white supremacist bona fides and an audience that's already wary of the network that just martyred him will have much difficulty finding some new venue in which to look dimwittedly confused all the time.
And Fox will find someone else at least as vile. God knows every Fox guest is constantly auditioning for a show. So, I guess it's a half-hearted hurrah from me.
