The Ron DeSantis Bubble Deflates
You know it's hard out there for a Florida governor... Remember six months ago? The Republican Party had just massively underperformed in the midterm elections, and a lot of GOP power brokers were grousing that the blame lay with one Donald J. Trump. Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, romped to a 20-point re-election victory despite the occasional jab from Trump.
Watching the movie 'King of Comedy'...
Thu Apr 6, 2023, 01:27 PM I think someone posted about this before, but the main character in this little known Martin Scorsese/ Robert Dr Niro film bears a remarkable resemblance to both Donald Trump and George Santos. In fact I wonder if George Santos didn't get some of his moves specifically from this movie, which concerns a shameless con man who becomes wildly successful in spite of everything. I hadn't seen 'King of Comedy' in ages, and it was rather a creepy experience.
‘I learnt the hard way that we all need to frontload our self-care’

How to write a welcome email for new Substack readers
By the time your welcome email hits your reader’s inbox, you may think your job to sell your publication is done: they’ve subscribed and are on the list! What else is there to do? But this overlooked space can be the difference between instant churn (unsubscribe or inactive reading) and upsell from free to paying subscribers.

Almost invariably I am much happier with the work I’ve done after my “waiting period.” Especially with the sky. I honestly think this looks great. Your light is really well done and I like how loose you are with your lines. Really nice. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
Super Pigs crossing in from Canada.. oh for the love of Mike.. what next
Response to Peacetrain (Original post) Wed Feb 22, 2023, 10:58 AM 5. I have encountered wild boars while hiking in the backcountry of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They are not to be messed with. They are also quite destructive, as the post above mentions. The boars in the Smokies were introduced over 100 years ago when a game and hunting preserve was created near the park. The owners of the preserve quickly learned that the boars, imported from Germany, didn't take kindly to being fenced in.
The U.S. would be a much better place without most red states

Stevie Van Zandt sent Jamie Raskin a gift
Response to Tanuki (Original post) Sat Feb 11, 2023, 05:41 PM 14. Stevie Ray Vaughn vs Stevie Van Zandt For some reason every time I see Stevie Van Zandt’s name my brain instantly replaces that with “Stevie Ray Vaughan” who lamentably passed away in a tragic air crash long ago. So, when I first saw the headline of his story my immediate thought was, “how did Stevie Ray Vaughan give representative Raskin anything?” Now that I’m back to reality I love the story.

The overturn of Roe cost the GOP. So why are Republicans now doubling down on abortion bans?

Did any of us think it was going to be this bad??
Thu Jan 5, 2023, 07:57 PM Sure, we all knew it would be a clown show when the Republicans took over the House, but to repeat the same identical vote ten times in a row with no end in sight is a level of madness that escapes me. There needs to be some kind of intervention, but what can be done?
National Guard checks homes in Buffalo for storm victims

Truth from Michael Beschloss:
Response to Bucky (Reply #32) Wed Dec 21, 2022, 02:22 PM 38. There you go. I've always thought Ford got a bad rap. I've been a liberal for going on 35 years now (before that I really didn't know what was what, so....pardon me!) but even in the 70's I knew that what Nixon did was bad, but what Ford did by pardoning him was presented to me as something necessary for the country to move forward. My dad worked for the government (25 years CIA) and always voted conservative, to the best of my knowledge.

‘I'm so envious of parents who 'indulge' in a child-free holiday’
A couple of weeks ago, I was searching for a blue cupcake. Not a white cupcake, or a pink, but a blue cupcake. The colour was important. A specific request was made by my almost three-year-old. I knew my friend’s cafe had them. Why did I care so much about this darn cupcake? Because this was a reward. This was a celebration for my son and my household, as it was our first whole week of sleep in almost three years.

Wisconsin GOP candidate calls for 'pitchforks and torches'
Sat Sep 3, 2022, 08:30 AM MADISON, Wis. -- The Republican candidate for governor in Wisconsin endorsed by Donald Trump is calling for people to take up “pitchforks and torches” in reaction to a story that detailed his giving to anti-abortion groups, churches and others — rhetoric that Democrats say amounts to threatening violence. Tim Michels, who co-owns the state's largest construction company, faces Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in the battleground state.
Barbara Ehrenreich, Explorer of Prosperity's Dark Side, Dies at 81
Her book “Nickel and Dimed,” an undercover account of the indignities of being a low-wage worker in the United States, is considered a classic in social justice literature. It was a casual meeting. Over salmon and field greens, Barbara Ehrenreich was discussing future articles with her editor at Harper’s Magazine. Then, as she recalled, the conversation drifted. How could anyone survive on minimum wage? She mused. A tenacious journalist should find out.
After isolation, my child has gotten more sick than ever-and I'm at breaking point
It was 11am on a Tuesday morning when I got the call. I hadn’t been at the office long when my phone started to buzz repeatedly on my desk, breaking my concentration.

The educator told me Freddie had a 39 temperature and requested I come and collect him as soon as I could. My heart sank.

Egging a Repuke at the grocery store
Response to packman (Original post) Mon Aug 22, 2022, 01:17 PM 18. Hehe, good for you for calling him out I made the mistake of not looking into a carton of eggs I bought at the grocery store one day. Found cracked and distorted eggs inside along with some teeny tiny ones. It was the last "no cage" carton of eggs there. I think everyone put all the bad eggs in it. In my defence I don't normally buy eggs as I have chickens. But it was winter and a possum had raided my chicken coop.

There is something about Islam that doesn't exist in other religions. The Iranian Ayatollah called for Rushdie to be murdered. In the UK British Muslims literally took to the street to call for Rushdie's death. This was in 1989. They still haven't gotten over a book that he wrote more than 30 years ago.

How does Cipollone explain the fact that he wasn't fired? He says he quit on January 6th. I don't think he was such a hero, and I don't believe he stood up to Chump. Mike Pence told Chump "no" right to his face and that took some courage.
