If you know anyone who still thinks the #FILIBUSTER makes sense in a democratic system, ask them to listen to this short talk by @AJentleson https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1381246406908768257
Mitch McConnell says the filibuster is ‘the essence of the Senate.’ Other Republicans say it’s how the framers envisioned the Senate and that it has a noble place in governing.
That’s all BS, says @AJentleson
160 yrs ago today, Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter, launching a war to secure the ugly principle that some people are created to be dominated by others. Thankfully the Confederacy was defeated, though at unfathomable cost. Today’s insurrectionists want to refight that war
This is a truly wise and lovely essay, about both dogs and writing. Brava. https://lithub.com/leaning-into-mystery-on-the-inner-life-of-an-aging-shelter-dog/

I think your timeline probably needs this bluegrass cover of "Take On Me."

ummmm….I think I’m insulted!
There’s at least fifteen grand in plastic surgery and 170 hours of working out standing between me and Britney. At least.
Plus, I would never touch Justin Timberlake under any circumstance, for any paycheck.
I would, however, dance with a snake if the snake wanted to. And I’d make out with Madonna, bullshit Kabbalah or no. I guess that’s good enough for the world of LJ.
I’d rather have my gender be thrown into question- god damn that supergee 😉

I’d be insulted too. I always imagined you more as the Avril Lavigne type.
Kidding, Laurie, I’m kidding!

Friendship over!!! I think that might have been a deal-breaker!
Grrr….I don’t know how you knew this, but every time I see or hear that kid, my blood gets a little hotter…and NOT in a good way.
Uncanny, that ability of yours.

Hey, Bob, seen Rear Window lately? (I’ll be checking the garden next.)

It’s a gift and a curse. She is an annoying little bint, but at least she’s Canadian.

Hah! I’m much more worried about what my ex already knows about me.

My dearest Bob –
This markbourne fella looks like he might be stirring up trouble. Should I have him killed? Or should I put your ex on that one?

Wow, even random LiveJournal PHP scripts know how incestuous the SF community is! No way I’m posting my results.
Oh, okay.

Let me guess: in this context “SF” stands for sub-feline community. Yes, incest would explain your total lack of hair and imperviousness to your own body odor.

Hah! Boy, nothing like living in a big, flat, open place to bring out the homicidal tendencies, huh? I think you’re just jealous ’cause Mark still lives in the number-one mold-producing region of the country. He might get a little mildewy by late spring, but at least he doesn’t have to worry about tornadoes carrying his hot tub away.
