I cackled

Virginian here - this is not the time to focus on hiking and basketball, Senator Kaine. Please redirect your focus to the increasingly unhinged threats from our president, thanks!

🤦‍♀️

Okay, this is the best!

Northern VA: Old Town Alexandria in 4th grade, the Kennedy Center in 5th, three-day camping trip in 6th. Plus the National Gallery of Art three years in a row in middle school/high school!

I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

Yeah, no - JKR is not getting any more of my money

Thank you 💙

I don't even ride the subway anymore but I've thought about this scenario so many times, especially what name I would call out. I decided that Anna would work, but now I think maybe it should be Jeneane!

Oh hell no

Woohoo!

Aww, WordPerfect!

Oh, he will be hearing from me tomorrow

AAAAAAARRRRGHGRHHRHH I am so mad at him right now!

Thank you, Senator Warner. Please convince Senator Kaine if you can.

Do not vote to end the shutdown without restoring the ACA credits! We just gave you leverage last week - the Senate cannot walk away from this mess with nothing to show for it. Hold the line, Senator!

Don't give up now, Senator Warner! We just gave you leverage last week - the Senate cannot walk away from this mess with nothing to show for it. We need to extend the ACA subsidies.

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Wait . . . Are We Still in the Prequels? Welcome to 14 Bookcases

Do you like stories? Do you like democracy? Do you like to geek out about stories and democracy? Good news, I've started a Substack about exactly that. Come on over!

Everything is terrible but at least now it will be funnier! This is so great, Jill, congrats!

Last night they set up a checkpoint in DC and were stopping people for broken tail lights and seat belt violations - I hate that BUT maybe they'll catch this guy!

I was a late-night writer. Colbert’s cancellation hurts American comedy – and sanity | Jill Twiss If our overlords can’t handle being joked about on late-night TV, we don’t need new shows. We need new leaders

@jilltwiss.bsky.social is right: "In this world of algorithmic bubbles and blatant lies and deepfakes, late night television is a place you can gather at night and say: 'Yes, this happened and it is fucking weird.'”

anybody else’s gyre feel wider lately

Then I’ll see you in the streets, waving an illegible sign!

I saw a reference to this and assumed it was a joke, but nope. Real life. 😩

Woohoo!

Oh God, I read blood-TASTING and yes, that would be pretty weird! 🧛

I know! All the cursing!

Pope Mini Bundt Cake VIII 😆

NOOOOOO!
