Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan The president’s fixation on culture-war grievances is a colossal misreading of voters who just want prices to come down, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan

Personally I'd put it the other way around. People who wanted prices to come down massively misread reality & thought that culture-war grievances would achieve that.

It's not just you.

Ah, colonialism, maybe.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I really like Obsidian, but I am a dabbler, not a professional.

This one fucks.

I can't believe I've never read The Count of Monte Cristo. It is an absolute lodestone of modern adventure fiction. Like, EVERYTHING points back to it.

It's in an attractive scalloped dish by Emile Henry. It is lightly golden on top and contains shredded zucchini, green onions, and feta.

Frittata!

The neighbor does have chihuahuas.

He's a small tomcat so I'm wondering if he lost a fight with a rat, or if a girl cat laughed at him.

Whatever happened while he was out, he really learned a lesson. Look at this sad face.

My childhood favorite book, which I've read probably twenty times, is A Little Princess, and I never until now knew the story of The Count of Monte Cristo.

The cat, atop a fencepost

This little fucker went on a catabout, scared us to death, and cried like a baby when I scolded him (after hugging him).

Ooooooo.

You're living right.

Had to check Wikipedia to see if power steering was a thing. Looks like it was.

Missed that, but I have used a rotary phone, a card catalogue, and navigated via paper map. I'm mainly concerned about cigarette smoke and gearshifts.
