Amazon Prime no longer means fast shipping. Yes, logistics are hard, but "it'll take 8 days" (and that's okay, but it ain't 2-day shipping), and then 4 hours ago, "oops, we mean another 9 to 13 days"...is bullshit in several ways. I live 80 miles from DC, not on Guam.
I’m a little embarrassed that I have only now discovered Chuck Mead’s “Back at the Quonset Hut”. I love BR5-49 and Chuck Mead’s solo work. But I missed this one. This album *wails*
I can be kind to Ted Cruz in this awful time that no parent should ever experience. I hope he realizes that he supports a hate and discrimination machine, and changes his heart to follow the red text in the Gospels, instead of Leviticus.

@nowviskie —@bethanybh ‘s longstanding vision will come to pass!
Today ALA will announce the end of the Dewey Decimal System. Starting January 1st libraries will shelve all books by color
Pfft, it’s not like *Alito* insulted his wife and accused his father of conspiring against JFK. Morals and integrity don’t get you on Fox for interviews, good sir.

I see “Trey Gowdy” is trending, and the weak attempts at dragging him show how many good content providers have left this platform. I really expect better of us.

Short thread and really worth it.
3/ ...politics (raises hand) learns the inside game is fascinating and fun.
We're not in that game any more. We're in a new territory where the stakes aren't "What will the highest marginal tax rate be?"
Now, it's a matter of "will we be a nation with the rule of law?"

Because if you’re going to dismantle antitrust protections you must invent a bland name for your group. Was “nothing to see here PAC” taken?
Amazon quietly donated $400,000 to the Independent Women's Forum last year as the group pushed back on antitrust bills being considered in Congress.

Attention grifters: duping MAGA people is easier if you can keep it in your pants. They like the veneer of morality or at least plausible deniability!
Randy Gene Kaufman, a far-right Christian nationalist Republican running for a school board position in Arizona, promised to get rid of “sexually explicit materials in schools.”
But then he got arrested for masturbating in his truck next to a preschool. tyt.com/stories/7015be31e708…

It’s easy to point out how ignorant she is, but I’d rather focus on the poor judgment, immoral behavior, sedition, mindless allegiance to the Confederate Army, and absence of serious policy efforts.

So where’s all the pearl clutching and couch-fainting from Democrats about the “tone of politics”? Oh right, only the GOP can do that. (Stefanik is still a lowlife, but for so many reasons, not just bad judgment and dog whistle politics)

Scoring easy points on these people only hardens the attachment their voters have to them, misguided and self-defeating though it is. Fight hard but fight clean. Call out Boebert for shooting her neighbor’s dog instead of calling police or just taking the dog back home.

I’m over 50 — but my momma sent me and @bethanybh some homemade sugar cookies for Halloween (and maybe some for the grandkids too), and there is so much love in the shipping box.

Change the rules, then arrest unsympathetic felons, thereby fabricating evidence of election fraud and getting credit for “fighting for election integrity”. It’s an evil plan, intended only to support lies about elections Republicans don’t win.

I’m not a member of the LDS church but after reading the Wikipedia article, I agree on many levels that it’s a desperately poor comparison.
