I’m just sad that we’ll never get to hear Seth Meyers argue with Meemaw again. Cracked me up every time

Dreamt they’d opened a Whataburger in Seattle a few years ago and I hadn’t heard about it but it was technically in Bothell so it was too far to drive to anyway

Needed a trigger warning before the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com interview with KMart because I was ready to steer into oncoming traffic from rage. Bro the explanation for those 10m voters who chose the couch is probably in that autopsy that we rightly don’t trust you to interpret for us #DNC

I know I’m getting old when I’m excited to use my birthday coupon at Target to get an extra 10% off the anti-fatigue padded mat I’m getting to put at my standing desk at work cause it’s killing my knees to stand all day 🥲

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.

Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

I don't think I could ever run for office because there's no way I could fake enjoying professional sports long enough to get through a campaign

I need to apologize for something I did. The @bostonherald.com is right, there is no place for profanities in politics.

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

I don't think it was a financial decision at all. It was all about having power over other human beings, especially their own workers and servants, and MeToo, BLM and 3% unemployment all were huge threats to that power.
Last week someone made this point, a lot of money people (including tech) made a very clear, very calculated decision that authoritarianism, even a corrupt kleptocracy, was better for them financially than risking Dems doing a wealth tax/tax fairness etc. It was an eyes-wide-open choice.
Cuban explains why companies like Intel are happy to give fascists a cut. The wealthiest people in the country see it as a smaller sacrifice than what progressives are proposing in higher taxes.

I guess I can appreciate my iphone turning on the headphone volume notification but it kinda makes me want to never freaking use it if I'm connected to my bluetooth speaker while I'm trying to meal prep and it keeps lowering the volume for my safety and instead I'm raging out while cooking
