we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.

Years ago, I had 50 limited-edition 11"x17" art prints made to raise money that we were desperately in need of at the time.
I sold 7.
I found the other 43 and put them on eBay because I desperately need to pay some more bills. :(
$50, ships internationally!

(i had a whole folder of these ready to go at the Old Job, there are few greater gifts on this earth than living to see the deaths of your enemies)
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

weird take, but this is long-term good, you're never going to affect real change with the existing party, you need stuff like this to happen (and for people to revolt against it) so you can tear it down to the studs and start over.
Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.
