I'm going for the silver lining: If those people can check this item off their bucket list, does that mean that they're that much closer to kicking the bucket? Does it work that way?

So many groaner moments

For starters, I'm guessing your luggage complement includes a hat box or three, which mine does not.
And then there's my general tendency to fail to keep nice clothes clean while traveling, but that's perhaps a personal failing and/or choice of destination as much as anything 😁

I'm baffled that you can dress like that while traveling internationally, but you look fantastic

She was so effortless that it seemed easy to dismiss her performance as just a pretty face.

Fascinated that I saw JB Pritzker assessed as being "too old" to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028. He'll be 63 years old then.
Tells you how some people are feeling about old men at this point in time.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I mean, there are many things they have zero understanding of, but supposedly mass media and communication was one thing that they actually understood a tiny bit.

I'm consistently baffled at how the current Administration appears to have zero understanding of the Streisand Effect?

Call it hell or call it karma, I have no doubt that consequences arrive eventually.

I thought it was more about partly/mostly obliterating the native culture?

I'm a nobody on BSky so I'm thankfully not subject to this.
Do you have any sense of WHY those people behave the way they do?
Do they hate their lives and want to tear everything down?
Do they think they're the experts and no one else could possibly be an expert?

You are 100% right to call that out and wow is it going to be a tough journey

It's not really helpful, but I read a recent court ruling that said basically "The Executive is charged with enforcing the laws. Therefore they cannot MAKE the laws." They said it better but it was admirable clarity

True, but personally I think finding that type of connection is an awesome Easter egg

I feel like you're underestimating what electro-shock therapy can do.
Or an experience with psychoactives like ayahuasca. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I love that you believe that the self-declared saviors of the white race would care what women think.

Collins is bad, but please raise your hand if you think a Senate resolution would change anything?

Screen shot from the show Andor. Someone says to Mon Mothma β€œThey [meaning the Empire] don’t even bother to lie badly anymore.” Mon replies β€œI suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

This one is resonating today. #Andor

I think it's safe to say that right and wrong aren't really a part of the decision making any more. But political costs might still be a factor.

I can't wait for the MAGA world to freak out about how an "American" team should win the World Series. When the Dodgers have Japanese citizens as three of their best players 🀣
