Congratulations to Great Britain's a-bit-less-shit party!! 🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧🎉 www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

Abandoning the quest for the "best deal" and settling for not getting ripped-off can be very liberating.

A thing that has really improved my life is giving up obsessive comparison shopping. Set a budget, look at two or three options choose. Done. Move on. Sometime I get really wild with it and just go with the first one I pick!

yes how unimaginable

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

Good advice for those with fans.

Don’t fuck your fans

And that's why I always say: "we need more people." I never forgot that lesson. My dad was right about appreciating the people who do show up even if it's one person and also about being less self-involved so that you can appreciate what is actually right in front of you.

He could see how upset I was so he broke it down plainly: Why did you make this all about yourself and how you felt? You missed out on the chance to focus on the people who were right in front of you. Three of them who you could have recruited to join you. We always need more people.

I said: "we apologized that more people weren't present." He said: "that's too bad. perhaps it would have been better if you'd thanked them for coming, gotten their information, and invited them to your next event." I was so furious with him. What UNHELPFUL ADVICE! Couldn't he see how upset I was

When I was a teenager, I organized a protest with a couple of friends after Michael Griffith was killed in Howard Beach. Almost no one showed up. I think we had 6 people [including us 3 organizers]. I was crushed. I cried to my dad & he asked: "what did you say to the three people who joined you?"

I’ve been skeptical about the idea that there is an actual rightward turn underway at the NYT, and assumed their recent baffling editorial decisions were a result of the usual tepid liberal both sides-ism. Today I’m canceling my subscription.

read What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? instead

The New York Times found it appropriate to publish this drivel on Independence Day just one week after the Supreme Court ruled that Republican presidents are above the law.

It’s time to lose all West Wing illusions about the thought work of the Democratic Party. They’re not smarter than the leftists who call them out. If they were, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Losing to Trump should not be politically possible after the events of 2020, and Dem leadership has made it extremely freaking possible. They suck at everything. Let’s name that.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.
