The online tarot readers are forecasting shocking revelations and sweet sweet revenge for my coming week and yet my heart’s longings are pasta, pie, and a modest win in powerball. Don’t even need the whole jackpot

Pointless rolling the dice when everything’s already owned by a Goodman, Menashe, Russell, Zidell, or Schnitzer. No thanks. I’ll stick with Scrabble

I remember my friends’ three year old getting fucking pissed about “bad guys” but like most of us he grew out of it
I think the core belief that shapes the most people and is simply unthinkable to me is that "there are good people and bad people and one of the primary goals of society is to identify and imprison/remove the bad people"

So far, the Council has done very little oversight work. But the budget can be an effective way of doing it. For example, instead of trying to litigate the Mayor's shelter strategy as an amendment to a complicated technical budget exercise, do it as a part of a deep-detailed oversight effort. 3/
