You should not be surprised that Trump has chosen the most venal, grasping and ethically pliable yes man possible to be his vice presidential pick

At this point "get words on the page" is the thing for me. I can spend months NOT doing it and then when I start doing it, I'm all, "oh, right, I know how to do this, why did I procrastinate so damn long, oh right, because I am lazy"

Do not believe for a fucking minute that the GOP will rest until abortion is outlawed nationally, and if they think they can outlaw contraception and no-fault divorce in the bargain, they'll absolutely take a swing at those too

Dear United States:

Look, both the UK and France kicked THEIR fascists to the curb, are you going to let those countries show you up like that? Or are you going to show them that NO ONE kicks fascists better than the good ol' US of A? For every fascist the UK and France kick to the curb, you're gonna kick FIVE! TAKE THAT, UK AND FRANCE IT'S TIME FOR THE US TO RECLAIM THE FASCIST CURBSTOMPING CROWN HELL YEAH

Trump trying to weasel out of Project 2025 means absolutely squat, that man has mayo where his brain should be and anyway it's a blueprint for the whole fucking GOP. It's going to happen if he gets in office.

So, here is the CEO of Scalzi Enterprises, and that's not metaphorically, since we have an LLC and she is the CEO of it, as she should be. Aside from having an actual business degree, Krissy is one of the smartest, most detail-oriented and absolutely most formidable people I've ever met. I've had the (considerable) success I've had because she is the brains behind the Scalzi business operation, period, end of sentence. I bring this up for no particular reason. BTW I was the stay at home parent.

I've long thought that social media is a particular type of intermediary communication where its form is editable, but its function is spontaneous -- it looks like typing but acts like speaking. People just plain forget that they don't have to post every thought that's in their head. Posting every thought in your head is what folks think social media is for -- or at least, it's how the social media companies would really like for you think about it.
