I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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!

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

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.

This too shall pass.

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.

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?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
he he ... came across a post with this title (not going to link to it):
House Republican leadership engages in doomed effort to make members express marginally less racism about Kamala Harris
It finishes up with:
After that, they can work on turning the tides of the Pacific Ocean.

Thrive to spite them
I had to go search that out because that is good writing. Ive been reading Salon more because I find their takes on Trump and the GOP amusing.
