I remain somewhat perplexed at some conservatives arguing against mail in voting, which helped Republican candidates win multiple races this cycle, but at the same time, I am not entirely perplexed.
The Republican Party, is not, in fact, an entity in service to one person, but it is financially optimal to apparently pretend otherwise.
“These Republican candidates won in tough races that leaned on early voting, but Trump lost, so we gotta get rid of early voting”
The reason I am nonplussed at these developments, by the way, is because I believe this is not an attempted coup, but a giant grift. This is a cash grab, much like past cash grabs we’ve seen.

There is a scene on The West Wing where CJ lip syncs to a song called “The Jackal” and everyone ... loves it? It’s a whole thing?
Like, people discuss it as if it is an exciting and memorable thing to which one looks forward?
For reasons best left unexplored I have watched virtually the entire first season of this show in the last five days and much of it is like Acceptable Television During Which You Can Do Other Things Because Whatever but man, I don’t know about ... that whole thing.

“Intense” is the kindest, most gentle way of putting it, Trent. Thank you.

I will note that being Extremely Online is a common affliction, as is its beloved child, Assuming Other People Are Also Very Online.
I write about a lot of stuff that happens largely in the world of the Online. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, but it is important to put it into context. There are nearly 330 million Americans. Most are not frequent social media users, let alone Extremely Online.
Take whatever online phenomenon thrills or terrifies you most, then dial it down roughly 86%, and that’s probably what its relative actual influence is.

My treatise: Donald Trump’s campaign is too dang Online. vox.com/21504280/trump…
“Extremely Online” does not mean “exists on the internet.” It means that the ideas being discussed are ones tethered in total to online life.

This reminds me that I failed to include the “Sin” remix album in my rankings, which is way up there due to this absolutely unhinged cover of “Get Down Make Love,” it is glorious open.spotify.com/track/7DKJqpzw…

Remember when “Always Our Children” was released by the USCCB back in 1997 and people were like “how forward thinking to argue that the Church should be nice to gay people”
What fun times I’ve had with Mother Church. vatican.va/roman_curia/co…
