I really think I might be a west coast person.

I’ve been in Seattle like, 10 hours, and I’m suddenly a person who has secured (excellent) coffee at 8am and is jogging before stores open.

It could just be the time difference. But the vibes are good.
If I lived on the west coast I could write a book. If I lived on the west coast I could run a marathon.

This isn’t magical thinking you’re magical thinking.

Googling rents.
Nvm.
To be clear, the rents are better than anywhere I’ve ever lived. But the reply guys are insufferable.

I got big mad on the anniversary of George Floyd's murder and wrote a piece about what @JoeBiden could do with executive orders if he really cared, and why civil rights leaders need to stop letting him off the hook.
I revisited the demands @sifil_ldf made during the famous leaked Biden/Harris call with civil rights leaders last winter.

She specifically anticipated that Biden might not have the votes to pass the George Floyd Act, and offered that he could do quite a bit by executive order.
Chiefly, Iffil argued that @JoeBiden has duty to use Title XI, which bars federal funding from discriminating institutions, to defund police departments that don't adopt reforms.

"These are actions that you can take, that indeed I would suggest you are compelled to take"

On a recent episode of Still Processing, @Wesley_Morris was explaining how a bridge can really make a song, but how they’re getting increasingly rare in modern music. He ran though some of his favorites but I gotta say— some great ones deserved a mention.
1) Just my imagination.

2) “I wanna know” not only has a great bridge, it gets repeated. That’s god tier bridging.

So, Godzilla King of the Monsters is just another Thanos/overpopulation plot?
“The human infection.” 🙄
Muted everyone who “well actuallyed” this tweet.

I’m on this Kong/Godzilla movie watch journey and while I was disappointed by the lack of Cranston/Binoche in the first flick I watched, this Tom Hiddleston/Samuel L joint is making me confident about this choice.
Killing off the Japanese soldier and making the native people “not talk that much” seems like a cheap way to ensure John C Riley never has any non-English dialogue.
Chapman making his way alone is really stressing me out.

When the min wage "comes back up" again there will be even less incentive to pass it.

The fact that the COVID bill AND the #FightFor15 are popular is why both should be pushed now.

The pressure should be on those *against* a $15 min wage to justify tanking COVID relief over it
Instead, corporate Democrats are *thrilled* that, by decoupling the $15 min wage from the COVID bill, the parliamentarian has provided cover for their lack of commitment to a living wage. Now they have cover to avoid campaigning Manchin/Sinema and upsetting the donor base.
No one is "moving goal posts." People with experience on the hill understand that the conditions during the next reconciliation process will make a $15 min wage *less* likely to pass, not more. And some of us are unwilling to negotiate with -- say it with me -- A LIVING WAGE.
