Willis being amazed that his defunded inner city school delivered a better education than my fancy private one was the highlight, I think.
Daniel J. WillisGood(?) news, I just recorded a podcast with @ashmcgonigal.com. So if you've ever wanted to listen to us replying nonsense to each other's Bluesky posts but longer and audio your time will come.
There was a time that Republicans were dominant in California politics. It was their immigration policy and rhetoric that undid them then, too.
Greg SargentRemarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
"Fuck all y'all, I'm out."

The answer is a star in the middle surrounded by concentric circles consisting of 6, 7, 8, and 9 stars, then two more circles of 10 stars.
River_TamIn 4th grade my class debated Puerto Rican statehood and the pro side was "my cousin is Puerto Rican" and the anti side was "How would you even arrange 51 stars on the flag" and I want to stress that this is the level at which the American public as a whole generally engages with issues.
Corson is my pick based on this debate. Although I do enjoy Holscher's giving the shortest answer possible on every question and then pivoting to talking shit on Trump or her opponents. Skoog said "I'm not an insider from Topeka" and that was very funny but I don't think he's the guy.
Ash McGonigalTransgender sports/care: Corson: "We can have fair competition in sports that doesn't exclude anyone, and medical decisions should be made by patients and doctors." Skoog: "The legislature needs to butt out and stop telling cities what to do."
Whataburger. They come in here and steal my favorite Mexican restaurant's lease to build an ugly abomination with NO outdoor seating and extremely mid burgers Also Patrick Mahomes because he visited this curse upon me
Sanjay SrivastavaWhat is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?
Hell. Fucking. Yes.
Gillian BranstetterEl Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"
...yeah this woman's nickname has nothing to do with her features
Darryl Mott"Big Nose" Kate, his partner, was just as much a firebrand as he was. Also, there are photos of her. Her nose isn't that big. There was a quick line in the movie too where Doc mentions she's Hungarian. She immigrated to America around 20 or so.
Research on my own backstory is blowing my mind. Yesterday I found out that I went to the very first "Classical Christian" segregationist academy in America. Today I found out that we were a charter member of the ACCS, which was founded by... Doug Wilson, Pete Hegseth's evil pastor.
Ash McGonigalKelly has noticed that every time my mother does this, I pick up my old evangelical segregation academy textbook (from the four-semester section on how to think like a Christian) and start making plans to publicly dismantle it. WHICH WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THIS TIME.
Last update I heard was it was coming out in July. There is no more July after today. Where the hell is my Jessica Chastain hunting Nazis show?
Ash McGonigalOkay, where the fuck is The Savant? I've been waiting for this show forever and it keeps not coming out

I'm not sure if part that has surprised me most about the transphobic panic has been the sudden vilification of drag, an art form that was not controversial thirty years ago, or that anyone bought that the transphobes cared about women's sports.
Alejandra CaraballoBen Shapiro spends his entire show mocking the WNBA and its players. Including a montage his team put together of missed shots at the All-Star game which he laughs at. It's incredible how much transphobia can just let you be an open misogynist.
This is what it looked like from my perspective
Kelly “Free Link” McGonigalOut of things to watch on Hulu but still wanting to make the most out of our $20 for the month, we’ve decided to try MASH. This is the first shot of the series. Was this hyperbole, or does no one talk about the fact that this is being told from the perspective of someone in 2050?
