Mercy and I watched Hedda yesterday night and first of all, Tessa Thompson was amazing (seriously, I looked her up after the movie because I was like "wow I didn't know she was British?" because her accent was that good) and she had such Olde Hollywood glamour about her,

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

Vance has been harder on his wife than he is on the Hitler lover, who often refers to him as "fat boy" and his wife by a racial slur. Makes Ted Cruz look like Costner in The Bodyguard.
Vance shares a strange immunity with Trump.

The press cannot or will not pierce through his rhetoric to see the what-should-be-obvious danger of the man.

This includes:
1. Vance follows lots of neo-Nazis on X
2. His championing of Germany's far right
3. HE'S WELCOMING HITLER LOVERS INTO THE GOP
JD Vance now leads the GOP. And he wants the party to welcome Hitler lovers.
And the press refuses to reckon with what this means.

Big part of why I can't stand white collar jobs ranting about shit being 'anti-social'- if you haven't dealt with how much worse service workers have had it, you don't have the right to talk about what's appropriate or not!

as a society, we really should be hesitant to take anyone seriously who hasn't worked in a food service job or acknowledges that it is incredibly difficult

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Night night sweet dreamies

Your current situation is temporary, even if it feels heavy in the moment, and it is not stronger than you.
You have faced difficult chapters before, and you made it through every single one. This will be no different.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez DeRemer: "It has been less than 2 months since Charlie Kirk was murdered, and the radical left is at it again. Antifa groups are terrorizing some of our cities ... I am so grateful that he has deployed the National Guard. The American people deserve law and order."

Is it good when a major international news organization is actively soliciting stories about people leaving your country because the government has fucked it so hard?
Tell us: are you a New Zealander planning to leave the country?
We want to hear from people in New Zealand who have or are thinking of leaving

I don’t know how to express clearly enough how disempowering it is for the 8 Dem senators to have caved after the incredible victories of last week

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Do you even know how bad this is?

It’s like you kicked us in the gut. Sold us out. The GOP will not save our healthcare

Despite appeals to save the birds and after an 11-month
legal standoff, the Canadian government on 8 November culled a flock of farm-raised ostriches by sharpshooters that had survived an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1. 😔

The Democrats reflect a wider swath of the electorate. That’s not a weakness. It’s a strength they should embrace.
Did the off-year elections settle the Democrats’ big debate?
It'd better have.
