Corey Booker, a moment ago, after 22+ hours on his feet, compellingly : ‘Who are we, if you don’t think this is a moral moment where the character of our country is being tested?’
Cory Booker is about to hit 23 hours on the Senate floor. I'm guessing--and hoping--he's got his eye on Strom Thurmond 's record of 24 hours and 18 minutes on the Civil Rights Act. I found the apology for the party's inaction to be quite moving, and he's drawing attention to issues across the board
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
Oh no.
Particularly as I start my last full time semester of teaching…
Turns out explants of loop recorders hurt as much as implants. Dang it!
Shoutout to @kateheartfield.com for an amazing newsletter about her favorite Dante autobiography!
Hilarious.

"Seriously, I don’t care how much it costs. Take every dime I have. But know this: I would level my house to the ground before I paid slightly higher property taxes to fund infrastructure that would prevent a landslide from leveling my house to the ground."
Oh my god. What's wrong with those men? I am very pleased my wife earns more than me, because that's how we get nice things! If she earned less, we would probably be homeless.
Don’t know if the other Gen-Xers have been following this saga to its completion but yes, brontosaurus is a dinosaur again. There was a mixup with apatosaurus and that’s why we thought no brontosaurus but turns out that yes there really were thunder lizards after all!
I officially apologize for my foolish country persons. Of course, I think YOU should invade US. 😁
Congratulations!
Hear me out: letters. Because no AI in letters.
So…this is where I live now.
Who needs truth, Meta? Not this country!
