And I haven’t kept up with him, so it was a surprise to see the actor who played Val Dartie all grown up in Bridgerton a couple years ago. “Wait a minute… where do I recognize him from?”

I watched that a couple years after it came out and looooved it. I hope they had an on-set massage therapist for Damian Lewis - Soames was always wound so tightly that he must have needed it!

I had my first-ever Guinness at that pub (I was not yet of legal drinking age in the US, but I was in England!)

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

Shouldn't be rare to see this said by a US senator

And where we’re at today is a complete denigration of that dream. Early Twitter compared to X as now. The death of Geocities and MySpace. “Pivot to video.”

We caught a glimpse of paradise (granted, with some problems), and then we let late stage capitalism drag us back into “number MUST go up.”

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.

We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

This is how I am with recipes - I have so many from people I love, and it’s a delight to think of them while I make their recipe. An unanticipated moment of softness and connection through something mundane. Such a gift.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

A secret apartment to escape to where NO ONE could talk at her or need anything from her. No having to find things that are in plain sight.

(This was also the “one bedroom” apartment that had the bedroom separated from the living room by a wall made of frame and two sheets of beadboard. They cut a spot in the wall for the baseboard heater to go through.)

I lived in an apartment that had carpet in both the kitchen and the bathroom, and that carpet had been there for at LEAST 25 years. And after the water heater died, wetly and mold-ily, the landlady said, “oh, there’s cement underneath, so I don’t have to replace the carpet! Great!”

My kid recently complimented our choice of silverware - “It feels good to hold, and it’s the right size” or similar - and I have rarely been so proud of my 23-year-old self and her wedding registry choices 😂

Based solely on looks and past experience I think 2 looks like the most likely candidate for me, but it still isn’t ideal (I’m not officially neurodivergent but I deffffinitely have Some Sensory Things going on)

Will you turn off the tool if they violate the rules?

Yes, we will turn it off in that very unlikely event, but we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law and policy. 

What we won't do is turn it off because we disagree with a particular (legal military) decision. We trust their authority

"we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law" not a history buff I take it
