This reads almost exactly like the thank you letters my mom used to make me write to older relatives who gave me birthday/Christmas presents:

Does the fact that he actually posed as and impersonated her online make it any more prosecutable? That seems like a distinction between this case and other cases I’ve read about where the photos were shared but not in the form of impersonation. Especially since he used details of her private life in order to pretend…

Yeah, this is a serious conversation among environmentalists: When should visitors be encouraged to disperse their activities (to limit major disturbances), and when should they be encouraged to concentrate it (at an already disturbed site)?

There’s so much to unpack from the Pro-Liars new pro-lie strategy, which is basically: every pregnancy is truly planned and perfect; every woman is healthy enough to withstand pregnancy and childbirth; every fetus is healthy; US maternal death rates aren’t alarmingly high; woman = mother and no more than that,…

ugh, that was too real. This in particular, I think, is worth remembering:

A Virginia GOP candidate who campaigned with white supremacists is allegedly a “devotee of Bigfoot erotica,” according to running Democratic candidate Leslie Cockburn.

I live in Juneau Alaska and hike the many wonderful trails in the area. Even way out in the woods there is a surprisingly large amount of noise, mostly from airplanes and boats. Granite Creek Trail behind downtown Juneau can be quiet because when you get back there far enough, the mountains block the sound and it’s…

True enough. Right now I’ll be happy if the Dems bring the EPA back.

Fantastic piece, Brian!

I was at the Hoh week before last. Truly a wonderful place. 

Honestly watching anyone run is pretty funny unless it’s someone full on sprinting with perfect form. I got stopped waiting for a 10k to pass by a while back and watching people try to pace themselves is just hilarious and so unnatural. I say all of this as someone who is a very slow runner who’s body and long legs wa…

Actors running is one of the things that I can’t not notice in films. I can’t not pause to shittalk when I see some actor flail along in an action scene like their limbs have never talked to each other before, and I always appreciate when an actor looks like they could genuinely put down a decent mile time.

I miss the Obamas so much. Also, Jake Tapper remains trash and tweeted a trash take about how the Obamas shouldn’t be going to a concert because the Democratic party is in trouble. Luckily, the replies ripped into him.

I love that picture.  The Obama’s more so than almost any other public couple seemed to have a real and generally happy marriage. I loved that they seemed to show genuine affection for each other while acknowledging that marriage takes work and that they don’t always agree on everything.

Not for nothing, but this is probably my favourite Barack/Michelle photograph. It was taken during their final state dinner, and I would pay good money to know what Barack said approximately five seconds before this picture was taken, because he looks pleased as hell with himself for having said it, but Michelle…

Watching anything with the Obama’s or even Hillary Clinton makes me too sad for what we’ve lost. Fucking hell but I’m glad they are living their best lives. They deserve it.

I didn’t realize Trump had ever actually held one of his children.

How about restoring the unique sand dunes you destroyed for yet another golf course you miserable orange bloated bastard?!?!? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/29/donald-trump-golf-environment-sssi-damaged-broken-promises

He does seem to have been vandalized. 

Awww, Baron’s just a cute baby there. Wonder which porn star Trump was sleeping with then.
