If you are on the Sky of Blue, please follow me at abhayakara. I'm also on the ancient hairy elephant, of course. I think it's well past time for me to stop being here.

IMO, if you really wanted to find traction with Canadian voters, you'd figure out how build about 3 million family sized households with good quality high volume transit connections over the next 5 years, not 1 & 2 bedroom condos.

for the last year and a half, I have been asking myself the question:
why do I shy away from feeling love?
TFW you realize that "ANC" means "Arlington National Cemetary" and not "African National Congress." #old
It's not enough to BE RIGHT. We have to BE RIGHT and WIN. So true.
Must Read. @AOC's response to a great question about why some Leftists seem to spend so much energy attacking her, despite *multiple* Palestinian advocacy groups continuing to rank her and her voting record as being one of the very best in Congress when it comes to Palestine.
This is what a kindness-positive culture looks like. A cruelty-positive culture would have gotten the kid expelled. We need to be a kindness-positive culture.
I first wrote this on the back of a student's paper, and two weeks later he turned in a paper about an issue he really cared about. It earned an A.

ALT For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I send it back into your own hands. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano
I was recently followed by violiincase, which is marked as "Hillary Hahn backup account." @violincase appears to be the real account, and I suspect that this is an attempt to use my interest in Ms. Hahn to lure me into a scam.
I doubt her account is the only one being so used.

This from @AOC is excellent. We don’t end the suffering in Gaza by piling on more suffering - onto Gaza and here at home - by allowing Trump to be president. We all need to vote for Harris, for peace in the Middle East and freedom here at home.

FWIW: a 'hard decision' isn't one which will worsen the lives of the basically voiceless people who voted for you in hope. It's the one which will make the people who have your private phone number scream and howl and threaten.
Kerry Washington is so great. Her speech for the Obama campaign was even better, but this is great.

one fun thing about democrats is that we can play good music without getting cease and desist orders
One thing I've been noticing on Twitter recently is that most of the people I follow get so many responses when they ask questions that there's just no point in me joining the conversation, even if I have something useful to add—how would I know?

People be like "there is no objective meaning, life is empty and i'm sad"
and like, sure, but also cats exist?
Find a cat
Make it so comfortable it purrs.
Bury face in it.
There's still no meaning but your face is now in a purring cat.

If the punditry has been slow to wrestle with the populist makeover of American politics, it's partly because they embraced the just-so story that Trump's victory in 2016 was a backlash against Obama's race, rather than a rejection of the technocratic worldview he stood for. 5/
