What I hope everyone remembers when the voting starts is that he was only able to do all that because he had a Dem majority in the House and Senate. And, yeah, as much as it pains me to admit it, that includes Manchin and Synema. Every D counts, even the feckless.

An ethical plastic surgeon would have refused to do about 75% of that.

He wasn't my first choice for president, I didn't vote for him in the primaries, but he's done a hell of a job, and I *love* Dark Brandon.

You joke, but they have museums that show that. Because the planet is only 6,000 years old, so dinos had to be around.
Went to an exhibition and was astonished to see a display where primitive man was interacting with dinosaurs.
Then I realised Iโd gone to the Notional History Museum by mistake.

Dems can call press conferences, issue statements, it might get a mention down in the corner of Page 7. McCarthy farts, and it's front page news.
But sure, "liberal media".

There's also the morale issue. Ukraine knows it has the support of most of the world, Russia has criminals and draftees.

I think the simple framing Ukraine / Zelenskyy use is very effective: To those advocating peace talks, tell me which parts of your country you'd be willing to give up in exchange for peace.
Have to say I'm encouraged how even after Republicans cheering on a year of Putin's systematic raping and pillaging, most Americans still recognize evil.
This is my viewing setup, by the way.
One monitor to watch, one to toot, one for any research needed, and an extra in case things get really heavy.
Brand new instance, brand new #Introduction! Iโm the author of the Galactic Cold War series of #scifi spy novels, the most recent of which is THE NOVA INCIDENT. (https://dmoren.com/writing/galactic-cold-war/)
Iโm also a #technology journalist: I write regularly at Six Colors (https://sixcolors.com) and have a weekly column at Macworld.
And I also do a ton of #podcasts on technology and pop culture, including @rebound, @clockwise, and several shows at @incomparable.
@ScottSoCal @dabertime That's probably for the best. If you did you might be responsible for changing the future, and that never turns out well.
Annoying birds 4. About to prune this bush to stop it poking me in the eye when I get into my truck and found myself eyeball to eyeball with this. Very small, I think a Zebra dove. Sitting on the flimsiest nest imaginable. I tried to get it to agree a deal: I leave it alone if it stops using my truck as a toilet. A very nice page on them here https://rcannon992.com/2013/12/25/zebra-doves-an-appreciation/

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
