Yes? Because Sanders had that weird earnestness and seemed shocked when people didn’t believe her, kinda. This one is openly tearing apart babies at the podium with a shrug.

We got Disney+ just to watch Hamilton and now I’m knee-deep in all the old Simpsons episodes. :)

PhoebeCaulfieldTheThird did suggest Penny, but I’ve had a couple bad Pennies (pun intended!) in my life so that won’t work. But I’m loving all the cute suggestions!

Oh yes!

Willadean.

See?! Every time you took little Looks Like Rain on a walk, people passing by would likely be, like, “Sure does!” and it would make you laugh!

Biscuit!

Oh lord, I hear ya—never name a pet after another pet (my grandmother’s cats—all of them—were named “Tinker.” She was seriously fucked up).

I think you might have given the name already—Peanut is good. We can name our pets all we want, but then we give them the names they get when we scold them or cuddle them or talk about them on Saturday Night Social.

I thought I had lost all faith in the wisdom of the American people. Then I was actually surprised Republicans were so stupid as to nominate Trump. So THEN I thought I had lost all faith in the wisdom of the American people. Then COVID came along and I was actually surprised that it was politicized.

And all lives matter. Until they’re expected to treat all lives like they actually matter.

I’m Facebook friends with Rebecca. She’s a libertarian. I report her to FB a lot, but that does nothing. Anyway, I read her feed to learn what the thought process is.

Social Media in particular. Nothing like giving the equivalent to a nuclear powered megaphone and a handy directory of shitheads with agendas to fuel your moronic tendencies.

Fuck Zuckerdick and his goddamn ‘basket of oily rags and book of matches’ making machine in particular though. The massacres in Myanmar is gonna…

One of the scariest aspects of this nightmare is realizing that intelligence, training and education can’t save you from bad thinking if the right temptation comes along.
