Grassi Lakes Alberta Canada. I was greatly amazed at the awesome Grassi Lakes. It was a short hike, lots of rock climbers up there. A great place to just hang out.
fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.
Why don't pictures like this ever trend 🥰 ❤😴😢
I remember how excited I was when Kamala raised a billion dollars, thinking "Maybe we can compete with messaging and ads!" Then, the 1% went Shock and Awe and spent SEVENTEEN billion dollars on ads and messaging. Can someone give me a practical example of how to counter this?
I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.

Together? Shared values? @SenatorFischer, your husband refused to look at VP Harris. He refused to shake her hand. Did you approve of his behavior? Do you agree with that type of indecency & lack of civility? If not, call it out or take your version of "shared values" & shove it up your ass.

“We’re seeing this impulse to surrender across American society right now. Where the forces of authoritarianism never give up and never apologize, big chunks of liberal society are bargaining and capitulating without even trying to try to stay independent first.” www.thebulwark.com/p/mark-zucke...
"you busy?" yes i'm listening to music

Oh my sweet goodness!!!! 🥰😍🥰
we are in the era of “it FEELS true” mindset
We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America. A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition. snyder.substack.com/p/shadow-cab...
people in the south are on balance better at driving in winter conditions than people in the midwest/northeast because salt trucks are far more scarce. when they do face inclement weather they have experience driving through it on a far higher difficulty setting. in addition the food is better there
