That sounds like Texas in a nutshell.

I always capitalize White because White people like to invisibilize their Whiteness.

Race will become "not real" when White people stop treating it as if it applies to everyone BUT THEM.

You'll be in good company. The Arquette sisters have both said they're going too. And bringing people.

And you know they're both pretty popular.

Story is btw: some 8,10% of registered Democrat voters supposedly voted for Republicans in the primary, basically Raffensperger and Kemp, to send a message to Trump.

Guess what magical quality the suspected shooter possesses that he's in custody and not the morgue.

Wouldn't his money be better spent on his attorneys? Keeping his day of reckoning always sometime in the indeterminate future can't be cheap.

Never heard anything about Ginni Thomas earlier. It suddenly occurred to me that her influence with Clarence might have surged when he lost his puppet master. he kind of tried to latch onto Alito, but you could tell his heart wasn't in it.

Can you go down and object to all the Republican ballots, or is this one of those Republican-only things?

That was the scene that ended my love affair with Mr. Bond (that started in fifth grade with my Dad's copies of the books). I haven't seen a Bond movie all the way through that was released after that one. Heard good things about some of the subsequent Bonds, but Cubby really screwed the pooch with Roger Moore, and I've never been motivated to give him another chance.

The local paper was basically a big Amazon ad as the local (corrupt) city and county governments try to push what a great job they did forcing us to accept an Amazon fulfillment center on us in an opaque fashion. The ungrateful locals apparently aren't sufficiently thankful for the chance to be working for an extremely shitty employer or the fact of the unintended consequence that it exacerbates the affordable housing crisis that exists in these parts.

I am rethinking my subscription. Is it worth it to get day-old news (the paper is published in another city and trucked here, so none of the news happening after noon is in the next day's paper) and a few daily puzzles and spotty delivery?

I'm leaning in the "no" direction.

Walk down the line with water bottles. "Accidentally" drop them. "Oh, my! Will you help me pick up my water bottles?" Then walk off. Maybe shedding a tear for effect.

That would be brilliant - and also GREAT advertising for their business. "Hey, it's that restaurant that gave us a free coke and sandwich when we voted - let's stop there for lunch."

I could object to all of them, theoretically.

The problem facing Georgia isn't that TFG was not repudiated, it's that voter repression kept Stacey Abrams from winning in the last governor's election.
