The GOP theory of politics is that voters will not remember or care stuff that happened six months ago, that the thing that happened today was born fully formed from DemZeus's head, and thus must be avenged.
(Nods, sadly.)
It's a painful week.
I agree with conservative Virginians that it really does suck to be gerrymandered out of fair representation.
![9: The Faith of Beasts, James SA Corey (4/21) The second book in "The Captive's War" series about living under seemingly unopposable tyranny and surviving -- drawing, the pseudonymous authors have said, from the Book of Daniel, to tell the story of "resistance through just existing, [the idea] that staying alive sometimes is an act of rebellion." It's about the tension between doing whatever it takes to survive, about holding out hope for a better day whether or not you live to see it, about the moral compromises it takes to keep going. I've thought a lot about resilience during the pandemic and since, and here is a novel that invites us to consider what resilience looks like, even if it takes place among aliens of all shapes, sizes and bizarre naming conventions.

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt Washington Democrats love illegal aliens more than they love Americans. Once you understand this reality their actions are predictable. Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt · 18h Bring back DOGE!🇺🇸
I am no longer professionally obligated to keep track of Sen. Eric Schmitt, but I see he still thinks his voters are dumb and evil.
No one, and I mean no one, has ever been more destined to repeat history.
You're my NBA guy!
"Public opposition to American-Israeli military action is an opportunity for them to launder an ideology of racial and religious hierarchy through a sanitized lens of politically expedient isolationism."
Life is tough, but also:
Weighed myself this morning. I'm 69 pounds lighter than my worst, when I thought I was going to die.
I am still fat. And because I have a thoroughly broken torso, there aren't any real aesthetic gains. But I've made tremendous progress and I didn't think that was possible.
Going to be the refrain of an epic poem about grappling with mortality OR a memorable line uttered by the next great Star Trek/Avengers villain.
We watched HIGH SOCIETY right after and Frank Sinatra delivers the same line ... less convincingly.

His wife divorced him. He's very publicly angry about that.
My wife pointed at the TV in excitement when Jimmy Stewart said "there's rules about that sort of thing."
I remembered THE PHILADELPHIA STORY as a flat-out comedy, and realized on this viewing it hints at something much, much darker than I'd previously considered. It's a confounding movie. My 83rd movie of 2026. #filmsky boxd.it/e3IoGd
. I know what you’re talking about. A lot of us want to pretend that this is a temporary aberration from the right and normal working out of history. It isn’t, and we know it isn’t. But we’d like it to be. Part of that is we’re old as shit, some of us, and God help us if we have to keep reinventing ourselves.”
This from the new James SA Corey book THE FAITH OF BEASTS kind of hits hard right now.

They won’t get rid of Kash or RFK Jr. or any of the others until they run out of women to fire.
Gonna be a tough year for McKay Coppins.
That was an abovepar typo.
Journalism will never love you back.
Told the Kansas City Star got hit with more layoffs today.
Going to miss Senior night having any meaning.
Take that, Tarantino.
My team is the Sixers, so effectively they are out.
"Save it for the lie-berry."
This might have been optimistic.
