In general, things are better than ever for most of us, but it seems that gloomy pessimism is the preferred mood these days. Right up there with “Make America Great Again.” As far as I can tell, we should be happier, prouder, and more positive about the successes we’ve achieved. With the right attitude, we’re more…

Based on the rather Eco-environmental focus of that video, I can predict some rather upset greenies if 70 000 people descend onto those wetlands and trash the place.

There once was a girl from Nantucket
with talent as deep as a bucket.
She tried to “sound black”
and wrote songs like a hack
so they gave her a Grammy when they should have said “Fuck it.”

Nah, back when this sort of hazing was legal, they still became a bunch of violent assholes.

I just read some other very good news tonight on FiveThirtyEight’s liveblog:

I can only imagine. Tonight is a good night. :)

Exactly. She earned my vote for other reasons, but I am totally, crazy stoked that a woman is the nominee!! This is historic - a huge moment - and nobody is going to make me feel bad about being excited!

Took my almost 4 year old with me today. She helped me feed the ballot into the machine and I explained that I was happy to vote for a women to be in charge of the country.

I voted for Hillary today because she is the most qualified presidential candidate. But right now? Right now I’m sobbing because she is a woman and today is fucking beautiful. Can’t wait for little kids to grow up knowing that anyone can run for president. I cannot believe that it’s finally real.

Crying like crazy during that speech and I hope all our fellow Democrats join us and defeat the squalid sack of sallow snakes.

I keep thinking, if you don’t understand why this is important, you’ve never been one of two women in your PhD class of 15. Or one of three women in your cohort at work. Or though, maybe I’d want to do this in my career, and then remembered that 90% of people in that position are men. I cried the whole train ride home…

I said basically the same thing. I was a Bernie supporter, even voted for him in the Indiana primary, but I will be happy to vote for her in the general. And, similarly to you, I have a six-year-old daughter who is already very interested in U.S. Presidents. The fact that she finally can aspire to be one herself…

Amen and well put. As a woman, I don’t think I fully understood how much I needed to see that until I saw her up there

I started this primary season as a Sanders supporter and now I’m pouring myself a nice big glass of wine. I'm enjoying the fact that my daughter is going to grow up in a world where a woman is a nominee for the presidency. A world where most likely Hillary Clintom will be president and she will be able to remember it.…

I voted for Hillary for many reasons that had nothing to do with her being a woman. But I am fucking proud and deeply moved to see her take the stage in this historic moment. It means so much to me and other women and little girls around the country.

Her speech, with its references to Seneca Falls and all the history that came before, was in perfect tune.

I'm proud of my party today.

I had a nice glass of wine and cried some happy tears during that speech. It’s a nice night!

I’m waiting for someone else to say Yay, Hillary! so that they can shoulder the brunt of the anger and conspiracy theories.

I started out as a Bernie supporter and now I’m crying happy tears because I am so damn excited that Hillary is our nominee.
