“Fine you tell me, how would you suggest we save democracy?”

“I got some bullet points…”

“Ok, what are they?”

“No, that was it.”

“Well shoot.”

“So you’re in?”

“Are we having different conversations?”

A confused article about #Reform strategy in #Scotland.

Given that Offord was not only leading NO campaigner and channeled funny money into the anti independence drive, why should anyone - no matter what party they vote for believe Farage? Even more so #SNP voters. Having said that too many Scots did believe the lie that the only way to remove the Tories from Westminster was to vote for #Labour I suspect a few might.

A guy was making his way thru Grand Central station, shouting:

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

TO JESUS CHRIST!

THAT’S THE REASON FOR TODAY—

DON’T F*CK IT UP!”

A good idea: "Pod Save America podcasters host CPAC for the left."

A bad idea: they stupidly are calling it "Crooked Con." Giving their conference that rotten name helps Republicans who say Democrats are soft on crime and Democrats help dangerous criminals:

Can I just say that I find it disturbing that a lot of news anchors seem to feel the need to smile while reporting anything

So they smile while talking about cars killing pedestrians and sexual assaults and shootings as much as during puppy and food pantry stories

It deadens viewers to horrific events. We need emotional intelligence

It wasn't this way as recently as last year

I hate the blurring of news and entertainment 🤬

Mixed Signals

I have to pick up a prescription. I went to the pharmacy’s website to check their hours. It said they opened at 7:00am. My watch said it was about 7:45. Excellent. I was off!

I got there and they were closed. There was a sign on the drive through window that said they opened at 8:00. No problem. I drove around the block until the clock struck 8:00 and went back. They were still closed. Ugh.

Screw the drive through, I went inside. They were closed inside too. The sign inside said they open at 9:00.

Oh, for crying out loud.
