“This is a prank, right?” Is my favorite set of plant morphologies.

I’ve toyed with the idea of staffing the House by sortition. Maybe not entirely random, pooling from State and local offices might be more practical, political efficacy is a skill and a little experience is valuable.

Having this pop up in the middle of a dozen goofy 5 minute skits with guys in Garfield and Odie costumes was an unexpected surprise, but a welcome one.

Used to swear a lot, still swear but much less frequently.

The effect of swearing is fairly diluted, they’re used so often they don’t really carry any weight when you use them. I find that there are typically better ways to emphasize a point, and using them more sparingly makes them more effective.

Biden didn’t drop out because some online leftists refused to vote for him, he dropped out because big donors that back the Democrats wanted him to.

Back pocket for me. Even at my most active I’ve never had it fall out. Just have to remember to take it out when you sit down.

I heard he replaced his ear with a permanent earpiece

This is a real thing people do. My wife is one of them. I tried it; it’s not as bad as you’d think, but I’d still rather not.

My nipples explode with delight

I somehow missed the MLG phase, but everything else makes sense to me

Vote progressives into local offices so they can get experience to work in state offices so they can get experience to work in Congress so they can get experience to be a good presidential candidate. Also to fill offices at every level with progressives.

They’re right off the interstate, typically at about the intervals you’d pit stop anyway, so convenience is a factor.

The food is pretty decent for fast food, tons of snack selection including lots of their house brand, at least a dozen flavors of their jerky. Prices are somewhere between grocery store and convenience store, but some of their house brand stuff is pretty competitive. They’ve got a lot of clothing and housewares, think like a cross between a Cracker Barrel and a Target. Gas is typically reasonable for the region in my experience, bathrooms are famously clean.

It’s kind of the perfect spot to stop for gas on a trip: stretch your legs, pee, grab a hot sandwich, maybe some flavored popcorn to snack on later, grab a blanket with a big beaver face on it cuz the kid’s trying to sleep in the back and you forgot to pack one. It’s a true one stop shop.

Ducks. Masters of land, air, and water. Good ol’ duck, nothing beats that

Clearly she wasn’t referring to the office of Vice President, but was acknowledging that he was a president beset with numerous vices

Why should it? Why should anyone vote for a candidate with no political administration experience? Regardless of their stated positions, what evidence do voters have that any of the third party candidates have the skills necessary to execute the duties of the office effectively? Without progressives in Congress, how exactly is a progressive administration supposed to navigate gridlock better than the neo liberals?

With the exception of Donald Trump, every single US President previously served as a Senator, or Governor, or a Major General, or Secretary of State, or Director of the CIA, or something. Some kind of higher office to prove their fitness in a political administrative role.

If we want a progressive president, we need progressive members of Congress and State Governors. Not only so we have an experienced candidates to put forward, but by having a significant representation people will just psychologically consider a progressive candidate to actually be viable.

And if we want progressive Governors and Congresspeople, we need progressive mayors and County Commissioners and Attorneys General to pull from. And if we want those, we need progressive City Council members and School Board members and all the other local elected offices.

These third party candidates with no real political experience shooting straight for President are so counterproductive, it’s difficult to imagine they’re anything but bad faith, intentional spoilers.

There was a period of time in middle school where I was obsessed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Definitely not my favorite film anymore (not even my favorite Monty Python film), but since I don’t really rewatch things nowadays it maintains its record.

Unless you count the one of the Disney movies my baby sister watched 3 times a day every day for months.

I use a smart alarm app. It uses your mic to track your breathing, and uses that information to identify when you’re in deeper and lighter phases of sleep. You set a range of time for the alarm, and when it detects you coming out of a deep cycle it starts the alarm. I’ve always slept through alarms, and this works like a dream.
