Cool that two sitting US senators have tulpas.

I was mad when someone did a spoil and told me there was no cane in that movie

The 2020s are defined by anomie. Turns out, norms are good!

Pretty much the only people who see through this are African American

The urban planning profession is an abject joke, really.

What the right-wing foresaw was that in a world soaked in media, seizing and working it is like catching the snitch in Quidditch (I know, sorry). Policy doesn't matter. Nothing else does. When you get that, you win. Dems are stuck in Cronkite mode.
