Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We are watching the convention.

I just put it on in time for AOC. I watched a lot of the 2016 DNC, because I was so excited about Clinton. I didn't watch any of the DNC in 2020, because 2016 just broke my spirit. But I'm watching this year, because I'm feeling optimistic.

Watching the convention. Noticing how many of the speakers are women

I got teary when she talked about Geraldine Ferraro and Shirley Chisolm.

I'd give a bazillion dollars for Hillary Clinton to refer to Trump by saying "Fuck that guy."

Our wings are not tired.

Clinton looks and sounds great. What a different world it would be if she was in the White House where she belonged.

Yah, the extended ovation for HRC made me happysad because of the timeline that we split off from back then. The "lock him up" chant was pretty epic.

(Ugh, did not like the dis on Stormy Daniels in that Law and Order thing. Unnecessary. They could've hit that point without using that tone on "porn star" or her picture.)

Raskin is going to town. Kinda love it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I haven’t seen any Trump signs, because Harris is the more conservative option here. We had a building taken over by anarchists not that long ago. Since Bakunin isn’t on the ballot, Harris will take my precinct.

I’ll be visiting family in a very red town over Labor Day, and I’ll be interested to see what the signage is like.
