"None of them have shown that they can work with the Democrats in a democratic way."

I think that's almost right, @tomgrzybow.

I think a more accurate statement would be None of them are willing to work with Democrats, full stop.

Republicans are quite explicit about their goal to put party above country: They don't want to govern well; they only want to rule absolutely. Cooperation with Democrats for the good of the nation is, to them, treason.

Yes. I don't think this will change much after Don The Con loses.


Skeleton Crew will start with two-episode series premiere, streaming December 3 on Disney+.

I admit that this new trailer has finally aroused my curiosity about this new Star Wars series, which looks very different from the others. That's all I ask. Something new and different.

Kamala and I worked like hell to protect the pensions of millions of union workers and retirees – and not a single Republican in Congress voted to join us.

But thanks to that work, over 1.2 million pensions have been protected.






Mira: [Steps onto the coffee table from the couch]
Me: (mild annoyed shushing sound) "We don't do that, girlie."
Mira: [Attempts to backtrack but cannot, as she is in the air with her front paws on the coffee table and her back paws on the couch.]
Mira: [Looks at me somewhat helplessly] "Mreeeeehhhh!"
Me: 😻😻😻😸😹

hehe, I can visualise that.

Of course, our cats own everything and are generally allowed everywhere. Exceptions are in the wastebin, eating from our dishes, and in dangerous areas (like where something is soaking in cleaning solution).

Yeah, I don't have too many hard rules, but I do try to discourage them from totally roaming anywhere.

She has yet to figure out how to jump onto the top of the fridge from the countertop and pace around on top of the kitchen cabinets like it's her own personal catwalk the way Hobbes used to. I think she's more chill (and a good bit more little) than he was, but I do hope she tries it some time. ^__^

Just in case you thought SpaceX Crew Dragon returning NASA astronauts when Boeing's Starliner failed makes SpaceX the good company and Boeing the bad company, they're actually both bad companies...

I think it's weird that one can order a "caffè all'americana" in Italy. Why would one do that? When in Roma, drink coffee as the Romans do.


Received my copy of @glennf’s “How Comics Were Made” and looking forward to making time in the coming week to read it.
in reply to Paul Goracke

I know of some other folks on the “I Read Comic Books” podcast discord who are looking forward to their copies, they just don’t have the shipping advantage of living in the Seattle area.
in reply to Paul Goracke

Awesome! The printer is in Canada, you may have seen, so they drive to Blaine, WA, to ship USPS and it fans out. Most people will get their books on the east coast between Nov. 4 and 10 by current estimates.
