Thrive to spite them

Ha! jD Vance broke a polling record...least liked VP nominee since 1980. He polled at -6pts.

So . That decision is baffling everyone .

I’ve seen this quote going around: “J.D. Vance is the Dan Quayle of Sarah Palins.”

Amazing.

I still can't quite believe that the Dems managed to do this. It shouldn't have been a high bar of difficulty, but they've been tripping over that shit for years. But they coordinated a thing, and they shaped it well enough to get energy and momentum from that. Energy! From the Democrats!

I'm just sitting over here and savoring it before the next Unprecedented Historical Event happens.

Right? It's not what we have been taught to expect, but I am trying to let myself enjoy it unreservedly

Same here. I am feeling hope, and I'm trying to just feel it and not revert to steeling myself, as I have been doing for the last decade.

That quote just delights me so much.

Savoring this moment.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm just going to sit here and cry for a minute.
Yeah, same. Wow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That is really tremendous news. Basically, HIV has been around my entire adult life as a threat. (65 here now.)

Now, why exactly don't we have vaccines for gonorrhea and syphilis?
