Every Republican accusation is a confession, suggesting Donald Trump is taking a cut of the Ballroom and Kennedy center renovations/constructions.

Also I encountered a former friend with whom I’d had a long running estrangement but whom I still wish well from a distance, and that felt weird at first but got more natural after a while, so I’m hoping that will be more ok in the future.

I mean my pitches are still not where I want them but it is getting to the point where you don’t have to love me to sit through my playing, PLUS (brag:) I played a simple song in a completely different key, in canon with other people, and it worked! It is REALLY FUN playing with people!

(Brag:) I gave a concert, and had a hard time choosing what to put in the set list, and then ended up substituting a thing I should have thought of in the first place, but it all went ok, and several people said they enjoyed it, so yay!
(Brag:) I also played violin in circle, and that went…okay…

Just back from FilkOntario. Very grateful to the wonderful volunteers who helped put it on! (brag:) I am the volunteer coordinator.
We had multiple first time members, and new filkers, and (brag:) one person said I had made a lifetime filker out of her, and also she wants to volunteer!

I am 6’1” and the mice all look sympathetic while setting up a contra dance in the middle seat with a little mouse band. Violin, mandolin, guitar and boran, but the instruments are so small the music is too high for me to hear.
After a few hours the smaller mice climb on my lap and go to sleep.

There is also the issue that a Republican accusation is a confession. Always.

Ergo, he's having the Epstein files doctored to make Democrats look bad.

Yay! Looking forward to this!

Antryg is a great character and I look forward to hearing your song.

JD Vance got his start holding the people who raised him--his own family--up to public humiliation for money. I don't think there's anywhere he would draw the line.

That's quite a turn from demanding Anna work extra hours--oh, sorry, "carry out extra 'reproductive' labor"--at home, which is what you sure seemed to be doing before.

Look over there!

Given the opportunity I'd make the same choice Annafroma2 did, and save more time in the day to rest and have fun, but you should feel totally free to spend more hours than necessary on your (work plus "reproductive" labor). I mean, you do you, boo!

Just don't demand other people do it.

This argument would only apply if you don't consider housework "work."

One of the two? Because I hadn't read them either. But maybe I will go do that.

Sure, and more than that, Trump is likely to demand she accuse, oh, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama for example.

Not to mention that we can't trust anything she says when we know she said it *just to get out of prison.* I mean, it might be true... but she knows damned well if it doesn't please Donald Trump, back into prison she goes, so how likely is it that she'll tell the truth?

Trying to distract his base from the Epstein list I see.

So "lies"-- a series of lies. Donald Trump's mouthpiece Tulsi Gabbard is lying for Trump. Again.

It's okay to use the word; it's factual.

July 19th? Saturday?

To be fair, they just want to attack us--I mean, they voted for Trump "to make libs' heads explode"--so they're just assuming we think like they do.

Maybe the same thing you say to someone who was crippled in utero because artificial wombs do not exist?

Made me cry.

Once the procedure was well understood in other mammals they might move to primates--some lemurs are endangered, for example. Then chimpanzees, which are very closely related to human beings.

I'd expect if someone was trying to make an artificial womb they wouldn't start with a *human* womb; they would start with a sheep or cow womb. Or they might aim as a first step to produce more of endangered species: start with a cat womb frex, so the step to snow leopards wouldn't be so big.

I remember when Fox News was trying to make it sound like Portland Oregon was a smoldering wreck. I have family there--Dad was like, "what protests?" and Jake was like "Oh yeah, I drove past it; there's a block or two where there are some broken windows and graffiti; the rest of downtown is fine.

If I’m New Hampshire Public Radio, I’m putting this entire article on a tote bag.

Actually I think for them it's all about being able to punish people. They WANT people to sin/break the law, so they will have an excuse to hurt people. I think they get an almost sexual pleasure out of causing misery.
On second thought scratch the almost.

It's all in whether they have enough money to gift him a gold plated airplane.

No.

My parents were Dem / Rep, but that was to have an ear in both parties, not because their values were particularly different.

Pretty sure Mom would NOT have put up with Dad supporting the current Republican party.
