Up all night as someone tried to steal our Dory @1AM. Her backpack and the oars (she stole from another boat) were already in the Dory and she had the bow untied. Cops came down and by 2 we had the dory moved (precarious in the dark) and were back in bed. Needless to say, I didn't sleep.

And the fact that the piece didn't even mention that northern Idaho has been regarded as a haven for neo-Nazis and white supremacists since the Aryan Nations set up shop there in the 1970s is just a gobsmacking omission.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

What's next in France: —In 15 minutes, all polls will have closed. Exit poll will immediately drop; these tend to be roughly right as big picture. I'll share as soon as I know. —Results will drop in following hours. Follow this if you want weeds; or my timeline for big picture.

Here we go: I prepared a spreadsheet to follow today's French elections, district by district. We already know results of 91 out of 577 districts. Rest will come in starting at 2pm ET. Open it + bookmark it and follow along as calls come in! Here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What could have happened today if more candidates who came in 3rd had refused to drop out? Hint of an answer in the city of Aix. Here, the Macronist candidate refused to drop out. As a result, no front vs the far-right. Result: RN wins with 37%. Left at 36%. Macronists 27%.

The way stories like this are framed reinforces a hierarchy of knowledge that marginalizes Indigenous peoples Western, white “evidence” is treated as more definitive than the living tradition passed on by knowledge keepers for tens of thousands of years

Nearly every time I'm at my absolute favorite place in Florida, I watch someone pull into the lot, pause for a minute, then drive off like they were underwhelmed by what they see. And I smile a little.

My 2024 hot take is: gatekeep like hell. You find a beautiful location tell only your closest friends. Keep that shit off social media. Unless you're talking about a literal stadium with explicit capacity keep that gem to yourself. Make people work for it

Meanwhile in Canada: If the scanner has a different price than the shelf price, the item is free (if it costs under $10), and if the price is over $10 you receive a $10 discount.

Snatched 2 mosquitoes out of the air today. One twice, because they get away if I don't crush them in my fist right the first time.

@davidakin.bsky.social, perhaps you could update your article to include this very deliberate dis to the #LGBTQIA communities? Poilievre clearly chose to visit Toronto on the most high profile celebration for LGBTQ in order to send a clear message to Christian evangelicals & other anti-LGBTQIA.

#PierrePoilievre is not only courting the anti-choice Christo-fascist vote, he made these visits to evangelical churches on a visit to Toronto during #Pride, while shunning Pride & the #PrideParade. If this wasn’t a clear message to & about #LGBTQIA, I don’t know what is. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre
