i recently bought a recliner and now the damned furniture store is stalking me
me: ashley id like to buy this chair
ashley:
shouldnt surprise you but after i assembled the chair kal was the first to actually sit in it and now he finds it extremely comfortable and preferable to his doggy bed
Here’s Kal in what I call “muh book readin’ chair”
Recliner update: I got the main seat but I have to share one of the two arms. He’s helping me read my book.
I know everyone thinks their pet is the best but I just cannot with this dog, he is the best

whenever i die, if you're nice enough to say something about me, please dont say "rest in power." say peace. my ass wants to sleep.
"may oliver rest in power"
my ghost: no no no im napping
cause if you say "rest in power" i feel like my ghost then has to go haunt racists or something. and i just dont want to. leave that to some other ghost.

this keeps getting touted as a way to say the pieces about democrats losing rural voters are justified. trump went from 8% of the black vote to 12% of the black vote. that still means that the republican party lost 87% of the black vote, a stunning rebuke which is rarely noted.
republican party performance with nearly every demographic outside of rural white is abysmal. a national party being this utterly rejected by every nonwhite demographic feels noteworthy. yet it is rarely discussed like dems and the rural vote.
as some have noted, a lot of this stems from the fact that journalism by default believes the rural and white vote in this country is the baseline. white people are the norm and so a party losing them is more noteworthy than a party getting crushed by the others.

i wanna live in the alternate universe where aoc and the squad are controlling biden, pelosi and schumer to the degree theyre going to be blamed for in the fall
who among us does not remember the day biden forgave all student debt, opened the border, abolished ice and signed the green new deal -- all before noon?
it was a bit jarring when biden outlawed meat by executive order and simultaneously banned all police. but it def happened, and tlaib and omar were at his shoulders as he did it.

like The Plan, we should just embrace the caricature from the "open everything" crowd.

yes, we want lockdowns forever. in fact, we're tasking the army with going door to door to mandatory mask everyone. then we're force-vaccinating you.
going to fully embrace my identity as a Liberal Heel. insult the audience, bask in their boos.

looking at some of the silly punditry on the right-wing trucker convoy it reminds me of the early days of the tea party, when the organizers and fox tried to portray it as an organic uprising unrelated to party or even ideology.
at end of day it was racists freaking out at a black president, dedicated to electing republicans to office. same as it ever was.
if i sound world-weary about these things its because i first started paying attention to and writing about politics circa 2000 and it just endlessly has repeated itself for the last 22 years and few want to learn from it.

Republicans have lost the popular vote in every election but one since 1992, and in most of the states with the largest populations they cannot muster a win, so of course it’s time for the 7,000th piece on the democratic rural voter problem.
Cause otherwise we would have to talk about decades of gop failure with black, latino, asian and women voters and we can’t do that. Instead we need more bits about how Democrats can’t appeal to a majority of rural voters, even though they still get millions of those votes.
