I've slept on it and yes, I'm STILL pissed off about yesterday's #Eurovision semifinal results. #Ireland absolutely should have made it, and #Australia was definitely better than several that made the cut.

It's incredible that @booker.senate.gov is looking to smash through the old filibuster record doing something actually worthwhile. I'm glad that someone in the Democratic party is actually trying to do something about what is going on.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

The pardoning of Capitol attackers would undoubtedly signal to Trump's most ardent of loyalists that they, like him, are above the law, at least for the next four years. A troubling outcome, to be sure...
Two things I’m not seeing anyone talk about
The pardoning of the capital rioters and the ripple effects of that ( I can’t even fathom who else might get pardoned)
They are already signaling plans to revisit their beliefs that the 2020 election was stolen.
