Stay vigilant. The cow cats are always lurking, and growing stronger

My chicken feeding neighbor is more reliable than my adult child…

this has never been more true:

It would really help global warming and I hate being hot so I’m in.

I have many gamers in my family. None of them like call of duty or first person shooters. I do think there is a desensitizing effect when you play a lot of those and are otherwise socially isolated. How could there not be?

Maybe all those moms worked up about violent video games in the 80s-90s were right

Really disappointing, Senator. You know this isn’t what Vermonters want you to say.

Listen, I email and call him constantly. This crap is really not ok.

High school kids are honestly the best people and if you aren't around them much you're missing out. Inquisitive, resilient, absolutely hilarious. Not afraid to call things out that need to be called out. They are the best of us. #iteachsocialstudies

Both too old for WW2. Born in the 1910s. They’ve both been gone a long time.

That’s the talking point- there’s a statement from the White House coming out tomorrow that says a β€œstate of emergency” has existed since 1979 which is justification for the use of emergency military powers

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Yeah we contain multitudes up here. (VT is Maine’s crunchier cousin)

No one polls northern New England. It drives me nuts.

The whole curriculum is basically fan fiction at this point. I wish I could teach a dual enrollment course instead. They would get more out of it and more guaranteed college credit.

If we had held a nationwide contest for the *worst* possible people in every way, we could not have done better than this.

The fact is that regime change wars only make life worse for the people. Especially in the short term. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. There is no dispute that the regimes are horrific but bombing the shit out of them does not make anything better for ordinary people.

I would watch the shit out of this but only after *It* happens

If you’re a normie, especially under 40, you can be forgiven for not knowing this. If you hold elected office and you don’t know this, you should walk into the sea.

I can’t help but remember that an attempted regime change in Tehran was like the fantasy position of the fringiest group in Dick Cheney’s Circle 20 years ago
