Mission Accomplished

Well, you could subtract the 1.2 million who died of Covid. And also those whose voter registrations were peremptorily cancelled.

Soooo… With 2 already-wealthy men getting paid for doing the one job, outside of the official government, it’s actually the Department of Not-Really Government Redundancies and Grift, isn’t it?

And since the only good reason to make the error would be to invite another pedant into the conversation, I’m finding this whole little sidethread very satisfactory.

AOC is real.

But DJT is the most fictional character who’s ever existed. Nothing he’s ever said, done, or been has been true.

Sadly, we’re stuck in the reality that allows his falsehoods to affect real humans.

Ok I’ll shame that:

“Those are rookie numbers!”

Maybe it’s behind us with the fridge and maybe a dishwasher? Or laundry machine depending on the country?

Even cursive writing was not designed to be faster like my teacher said, it was to weed out the yokels from the gentlemen. A Thomas Jefferson-style hand, full of curlicues and serifs and f/s-es (i.e.“difcufsion” for discussion) could be read or written by a person whose wealth enabled their education, but not by someone whose literacy was achieved by reading the family Bible and local newspaper.

That definitely works too

Waah-wah-wah-wah-Waaah, à la Charlie Brown adults.

I see you don’t like “right wing” any more than I do, because I think they justify their actions by thinking “we must be right, we’re the right wing.” So I call them the Wrong Wing.

Or sometimes the Human-Rights-Destroying Wing.

A better-educated public is a net gain regardless who’s running the government.

Better educated women are less trapped in abusive relationships, although it still happens, because they have better job prospects and better chance to get law on their side.

Pretty sure it’s cool. And most people with disabilities would prefer to answer the kid’s questions directly. Partly for accuracy and partly for normalized interactions. But you should ask if it’s okay first.

Clearly a lot of men heard what he really meant by that and liked it.

College-educated white women backed Harris. All college-educated groups did. Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable, and accessible to women with small children. Frankly we should anyway. We should also start helping girls that get pregnant in high school finish with their diploma so college will be an option in their future. Especially since more of them are going to be forced to carry the pregnancy to term.

California’s “sweet time” includes allowing votes postmarked on Election Day to arrive and be counted. You might not be happy waiting but I’m glad to live in a state that values every vote and makes voting as accessible as possible. I won’t say “easy” because our ballot was 6 pages long, but it was easy to read and mark at home, and mail or put in a box or hand to a person.

With no paper involved, “tablet” makes even less sense. I’m quite old, it’s not an age thing.

Given how you’re using it, you could further confuse her by calling it a “chock.”

I grow them (cat grass seed mix) for my cat, but honestly she prefers when I pull her some of the crabgrass weeds that come up in my balcony plant pots.

This is true and good. But with the Supreme Court in Trump’s pocket the results may not be great.
