At press time, Seattleites were wondering if the Coast Guard had ever heard of these other guys who terrorize Seattle every year called the Blue Angels.
If you actually want to see anything like a curtailing of these robber barons owning your whole life you'll bring back the only president of my lifetime who actually took them on where it hurt them and has vowed to raise their taxes
Watched 4 in the morning, did the holiday games and food, then watched 5 while the boys did fireworks. I was barely hanging on at the end near midnight but Yay!!
Starting 6 now. One day I might be caught up.
Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here.
Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.
Great. One of those watching the TdF on a several day delay just looked up someone's number and so now I know at some point there's an "oh shit"
Dont know what, who, or when but its enough of a spoiler to make me mad at them now
"Oh shits" aren't a surprise and are very much expected but still :(
Hey TdF friends. Still *no spoilers* please but I think I got too far behind. Just starting Stage 2 now...
Is there a dull stage I can speed thru quickly, or even a couple halves?
Y'all are thru 5 already right? Streaming not letting me skip commercials is NOT helpful 😒
the media, led by the Times, has done to Biden what they did to Claudine Gay at Harvard
there is no way to convince the public, because the people who he needs to convince to do that (the media) are never going to tell the public that he’s fine
I think dropping out is a when, not if at this point
"President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week."
Finally starting the TdF coverage. Way extra behind this year, like I just saw the flag drop after neutral section stage 1. No spoilers but holy crap I have a lot to catch up on.
I had my first stroke at 23 years old.
I've done those cognitive tests (and many many more even deeper tests) on the regular for 20 years.
None of the talking points piss me off in the way the neuro test speculation does.
Why why why do all the polls look like a popular vote?
They know thats not how the real deal is decided right?
Like, its cool if Harris is up on Trump by 15 with independents overall but blowing him out in CA isn't going to do shit if she's down 20 in Georgia, Ohio, Arizona, Pennsylvania...
Men. *sigh*
Can't give the toilets a little swirl and swish once in a while but, by golly, spend a few days camping and the bed of that truck is getting soaped up and sprayed out before I can even get the coolers emptied out.
Guys. Not exactly how I wanted the top of my feed to look when I finally hit civilization for the 1st time in 5 days.
I was hearing the world got fucked while I was gone but this is too much
Oh yay. Fell down the deck stairs while cleaning coolers in the rain. Was the first step of the day towards leaving for the big camping trip.
Should be a fun weekend
