Not relevant to your situation. But when Trump dies I’m going to take a day off in celebration. And if I can find a way to piss on his grave I will.

He’s gonna do some shit again. Just have to wait.

Set up a recurring donation to ProPublica. They have been a thorn in the side of those shitheads at the supreme court and we need their investigations in a Trump presidency now more than ever. https://give.propublica.org/give/346423/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=UpRed

You could also try to get in contact with a more left-wing group like Democratic socialists or something and get involved in letter writing campaigns.

Finally, get involved in a local issue - think city or county. Those meetings are filled with 1)people who have something to gain - developers, 2) retired people who mostly miss the point, and a few outgunned non-profits. You can make a really big difference.

Post-democracy autopsy of how it all went wrong

If it was biden making a deal then that’s one thing. I don’t think that’s what happened. I think the DNC power players or donors said ‘we don’t want Bernie’ and the rest of the group fell in line.

In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I’m not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of ‘DNC sabotaged Bernie’

Don’t worry guys. We’ll run another centrist in 2028 too. But this time it’ll work.

Where are you getting news, and how often?

“I think you’re pretty. Wanna bang?”

My main issue was the controls being a lil finicky. Otherwise it worked fine.

Time to pirate my Windows updates

They should buy the primo stuff and save lives

It’s funny how much nicer the pokemon cards look - the foils and etc. - compared to MTG. The misprints and printing quality have also gone downhill.

Requires knowledge of geometry and that shot is hard. Perspective lines and angles and etc.

So this is what tweets from the fallout universe would look like pre-bomb

Yeah. Totally makes sense, and that is fair. Tho turns seem to lead to the ‘is it my turn yet? Is it now? Now?’ conversation that sometimes I would rather avoid.

I tell my kid I can’t play Spotify in the car, and so she’s fine with the radio or quiet. Wife does let her sometimes - and every time we get into the car with her, kid says ‘can I listen to X music’.

Sometimes a hard rule is just helpful to avoid those discussions.

The other thing I’ve learned is not to cater media to kids. E.g., every time I get in car we don’t listen to her music. I’ll put on the radio and sometimes she tells me ‘I like that’. Who knew kids would like Foo Fighters Everlong because it’s relaxing. Or that my 3 yo will watch Jane Austen movies with my wife?

How old is the kid? They might be ready for you to read chapter books to them at bedtime. I remember being about 10 and getting lotr and Brian jacques read to me. For ‘can I watch something’ - predictability is key. If they have a chance of trying to wear you down, they’ll take it. Settle for something like: you get 1 little bear after daycare, and that’s it for the rest of the day.
As other guy said tho, that means you can’t watch either tho.

Ash vs ash next

IMO, daycare should be helping you with potty training.

It sounds like she is forgetting whether she has diapers on or not. That’s something you can only do by going cold turkey on diapers - minus nap and sleeptime. Then immediately off again.
