I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

If you’re dining at an establishment and order a Coke but they have Pepsi products, your drink should be free.
I feel like I would exercise that executive authority if I were a server in a Pepsi joint: “Pepsi’s not okay? Drink’s on me.”
(This, of course, is Reason #8,474 why I am not a server.)

Two National Guard members have been shot and killed in Washington, DC.
They shouldn’t even have been there.
They shouldn’t even have been there.
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

This Congressional redistricting nonsense is an act of desperation by a flailing, deeply unpopular President and a failing, lackey Governor.

Hey, chat — let’s say I’m trying to protect my soul from the darkness of my very low, yet still unmet, expectations of my fellow humans.
Is there anything I actually need to know about the Nuzzi/Lizza situation, or can I just continue to walk in the privilege of my ignorance of this specific thing?

I just remembered that in my waking-up dream today, everyone on the cruise I was on was abuzz because they’d paid $3700 for a meet-and-greet with Janet Jackson. I followed the crowd and learned that they were not meeting Actual Janet Jackson, but rather an internet-famous parrot named Janet Jackson.
