I think we really do need drastic change to get more housing in the state, but I'd feel better about the BUILD plan if the advocates reasoning was more easily distinguishable from trickle down economics and/or neo liberalism.

I watched the colbert recording and part of the reason I'm mad is even when I'm mad at the guy, he still seems so cool and so reasonable. If only he'd throw some of this weight around for anything other than his own expensive museum.

When I get what I want by using my power, that's not politics, that's just the natural order. When you get what you want by organizing people for decades to agree to a path forward, that's the bad kind of political.

I have no patience in these times for Barack posting cutesy videos about his expensive museum in a park comparing himself to Luke Skywalker.

My state of mind -- folks are chatting about the silly but correct great lakes awareness day, and some one joked that the great lakes sucked and I held back and only muted them.

I court watched a handful of times, and these were the things I learned. Hopefully the data I collected was helpful too.

Lake forever, great lake awareness day for now.

Load up the rack and drive to these five Midwest destinations where you can explore mostly flat, scenic trails that offer an idyllic getaway.

I love museums but I hate seeing Ken Griffin's name all over stuff.

So @katiemcvay.cryptoanarchy.network is making a a biting satire of a right-wing Christian podcaster and it's very good.

A visibly emotional Anne Hathaway responding to a trans kid--who named herself Ella after Ella Enchanted, and thanked Hathaway for her courage as an ally--saying "Ella, sweetie, I want to make something absolutely clear: It takes zero courage to love you"......now I might cry too
