"But what if love isn't enough" is a strange statement to me; love is beautiful and powerful and the best weapon we have

Why is the NYT always reporting on the Regime's framing this way? I am so jaded by terrible journalism I just can't

as an intern, I met William F Buckley Jr. at a '90s at a PBS climate debate

I was the enviro intern helping put the show together for his opponents

But he was the only one who took the time to know me; he asked about my education, my family

That type of conservative is lost now

To borrow a phrase, β€œFuck your feelings.”

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a β€œfeeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading β€œBREAKING NEWS.”

The best thing about being Gen X is thinking you grew up during the darkest times in the 80s only to think you're an adult during the darkest times in the 00s and now realizing you're probably going to die during the darkest times now

My consistent experience in hotel bars has been striking up a conversation with an interesting lady or guy and being quoted a price for their product line or other things

You definitely attract a better vibe

Absolutely! How many new EV owners are about to happen bc of gas prices? If you were already shopping for a new car . . .

On the fourth night my bosses arrived, wanted to go to a jazz show and were totally confused when the band yelled my name and dragged me onstage with them

Honestly never understood why they wanted a white boy as a mascot

For $3 you got to drink from the giant communal wine jug that was being passed around

There was another hole in the wall leading to a Greek place that you could order food from/though

After my second night they started taking me with them to gigs on the riverwalk just to hang out onstage 🀷🏼

I have had exactly no good times in a hotel bar

One of my travel tricks used to be asking my cab drivers where people went for live music - that's how I ended up at an actual hole in the wall at the end of the riverwalk with a neon "Jazz" sign

A bunch of old jazz musicians hanging out 1/3

I had ad hoc open bars in my room a number of times. A surprising number of people prefer a bottle and a bucket of ice over the hotel bar
