If you write for it, quit. If you read it, quit. If you edit it. . . no comment . There is no excuse for this disgusting, stupid, pointless dinosaur to continue to exist in 2023. Papers weren't great in the 1860s, or the 1930s, but I genuinely had hoped for better.

All you democrats who forced us to vote for this ethically bankrupt president are not welcome in my home. Even if you wipe the blood off your hands first.

Is it something about the English language that makes people cruel and dumb?

I'm not a fan of light pollution. But, when it comes to ranking priorities, it's 8 pages deep. Maybe 12.

It's long past time for a genuinely leftist party in the US. (I'd be willing to settle for democrats who actually have a spine. But, centrist white folk who voted for this goofball in the primary seem committed to making that impossible.)

Just for the record, I am also not a drag queen and have never killed a dog. I have worn women's clothing in public and I have had a dog die with his head on my lap, so one could easily be mistaken. Please keep this in mind when I run for office.

The fun thing about not having children is that when people go out of their way to ask you nosy questions, and you respond honestly & politely, they act like you've insulted them.
Well, there are other genuinely fun things as well.

Nearly empty boarding area (unusually good!), airplane (bad), car to the airport (terrible.) Wear a mask, folks. It's not hard and it saves lives. Possibly yours.

I want everyone to remember that when they make arguments about how "none of these bills won't pass":
- We just had 3 pass to the senate floor in Utah
- We had 1 in North Dakota
- We have nearly as many bills 18 days into 2023 as we did in the ENTIRETY of 2022.

Cripes @IfBooksPod. I don't know if I count as a "quantum physicist," but I am a physicist who makes devices that depend on subtle qm phenomenon & have taught grad classes in general relativity. You are absolutely correct about this bullshit. Thanks?! (Really, thanks. Also, wtf?)
