i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious
$35 for a paperback??? With zero frills?? Like, I'm not one to care about sprayed edges or foiled covers, but a cardstock cover, onion-skin translucent newsprint pages and visible pixels from poor printing and you want *$35*? Absolutely not
If you are a waitress and no-call, no-show even one shift, you could get fired.
But you can be an ancient elected official at the highest levels of our government and just go AWOL for weeks or even months with no real explanation, and we're supposed to pretend that's... fine?
next time a “leftist” gets exposed for having a bigass nazi tat, don’t “aw shucks he was just a little baby guy who didn’t know any better” about it. you dump him and RUN. crazy this needs to be said!
US state constitutions are way too similar to each other. A lot of the younger states even stole theirs wholesale from other states' (ex. Utah's is a copy of Iowa's, with a few edits as time went on). California should have a Prime Minister. There should be a Cazique of Indiana.
Platner is a example of both the failure of the Dem establishment to field a competent candidate and the consequences of progressive populism untethered from a organization like DSA that can responsibly vet and develop cadre candidates over years to run for office.
"Cats don't actually love you"
A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.
Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.
Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.
