Used to say this all the time and so I have corrected myself (because I love cats) to say, instead: “There’s often more than one way to do a thing.”

Them: “There’s more than one way to skin a cat” Me: Eww. WTF is wrong with you?!

If you want to know what it's like growing up in Appalachia, "Demon Copperhead" and "Winter's Bone" are the books to read. Fictional, they have may more truth than "Hillbilly Elegy,"--Admittedly I only read excerpts b/c it's so infuriating-- which seems to have been written to glorify Vance.

I recommend reading Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. More accurate, more brutal, more genuine love and respect for the people, more historical context and - best of all - written by someone who actually grew up there.

Again, we have NO IDEA whether Trump is a business partner, an employee, or a Foreign Agent of Saudi Arabia, and the DC press thinks that's far less important than Biden's age. www.emptywheel.net/2024/07/17/b...

Boiled Frog Journalism: Is Trump an Agent of Saudi Arabia, and Other Pressing Questions Buried under Biden's Age - emptywheelwww.emptywheel.net Trump might literally sell out the next journalist who opposes him to be chopped up by some foreign dictator.

Why isn't media covering this? TFG fell asleep for extended periods of time on first night of RNC Convention. Time for him to step aside (for this and all the other reasons). #DonaldSnorleone

The white supremacist gunman who murdered 23 people going about their day in El Paso five years ago next month had been obsessed with an alleged “Hispanic invasion” of Texas. There is no pivot, or softening. This is the Trump Republican Party. They keep telling us who they are, so believe them.

Lake also warned of the "Bidvaion" reference to the replacement theory that smashes the claim that Biden is intentionally facilitating a literal "invasion" of the United States, before leading the crowd in the nativist "build the wall" chant.
