So say we all! โœŠ

A wave is building. The kind of wave that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far, and they decide all at once, all together, that enough is enough.

Tonight, I heard a failed president desperately casting about for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively, as I expect he will.

ABC is absolutely crushing it today with the America Celebrates 250 programming. The National Anthem segment highlighted Jimi Hendrix's version and reminded us that the poem ends with a question mark... Does that star-spangled banner yet wave? Can our nation stay united and live up to its promise???

Thank you Disney and your 24 hour Celebrates America 250. Watching today has given me hope that America can survive and thrive. Disney has showcased how we are a country of many different people. Created, formed, grown, and thrived for 250 years because the vast majority of people are Good.

Emily M Weinstein seems like a horrible, hateful person with zero empathy, compassion or self-awareness. Why would I ever want to read a memoir by that type of person?

It's been brought to my attention that possibly this pillow was in fact meant to be purchased exclusively by kings. In which case, "I AM KING" is not a typo and I stand corrected.

Remember when scholars of authoritarianism told us he would go after his political opponents, unions, academia, and the media and people were like, โ€œBut Tim Walz got the date wrong from when he was in Tiananmen Square?โ€

Champagne Problem of the Day: PreviDent helps my sensitive teeth, but the packaging is annoying AF. Who designed this? I have to hold its giant hinged cap open while wrestling my toothbrush into place and then try to squeeze paste onto the brush without getting it all over the cap and/or the sink. ๐Ÿคฌ

Dear all subscription services, Please stop offering me 60% off my first month in an attempt to make me believe that I'm saving money by signing up for you. I'm not specifically broke this month but wealthy the rest of the year. I'm broke year-round. Best, Me

Here's my set of takes on Biden and his age and ability to do the job. 1) The decision to seek reelection was very obviously the wrong one, and indeed I'd say catastrophically so. *At the time* it may have been defensible but with the benefit of hindsight, it was a terrible mistake.

I think Dickinson said it best in "1776": "Most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor. And that is why they will follow us!" ๐Ÿ’ธ

I hate it when a series brings back the villain from a few seasons ago but makes them even more evil and powerful this time. It's such lazy writing, like, think of something new, America.

You are up to date.
