If Trump pretending to give a blow job to his microphone doesn’t convince you that he’s totally lost it, then there’s something seriously wrong with you.
MAGA has decided the closing message is hate, racism, vulgarity, Christian Nationalism, and violence. This is not a political rally to get out the vote. It’s a rally to prep for violence.
If you are voting for Trump after this rally, you support fascism. If you claim it's because of taxes or immigration or whatever issue makes you feel righteous about supporting a fascist, you're like an Italian supporting Mussolini because he made the trains run on time.
So Donald has backed out of the third debate, and now he’s backing out of the 60 minutes interview. I’m gonna need wall to wall coverage on his fitness for the next three weeks from the corporate media.
The Boston Marathon is the closest thing to a real sporting competition that the adult marathon scene offers.
It’s like college cross country - except for marathons.
It’s like the national championship of marathoning.
No, you don’t get in just because you’ve never been. National championships don’t practice inclusivity (they proudly practice exclusivity).
It doesn’t matter if you’ve already been 6 times. You earned it. It’s not “time to let somebody else have a spot” unless they outran you.
This is 100% the correct approach. It favors merit and objective performance - just like any championship race that you have to qualify for.
I’m appalled at misguided amateurs who want every marathon to be a celebration of effort. I reject that. Sometimes - SOMETIMES - we must celebrate performance. And that’s ok.
It wasn’t just Gus Walz standing up and telling everyone that was his dad. It was also that no one tugged his arm to sit down and not “make a scene.” They let him be him and that’s beautiful.
The worst part of election season is when women have to tell their greatest traumas in order to beg for our right to live knowing that some ham-scented brother-cousin is calling her a baby killer
My hot parenting take: Homework is stupid. Sending your kid to school for 7-9 hours a day and then sending them home with 1-2 hours of homework is like your job sending you home to work from home everyday after a full shift. 7-9 hrs/day of school is already too much imo.
