Hate is a tell.
There is no good person in this world who ever lived who needs you to hate anything or anybody.
Be aware when someone is trying to get you to hate something. They’re not doing it to help you. They’re doing it to use you.

I’m stuffing goodie bags for a party and realize I don’t have enough tissue paper to go around.
So I’m thinking… what if I use actual tissues? The guests will be all “hey look at that - free Kleenex! This guy’s a hero.”

You know who would be fun to talk to?
The very first butt-dialer in the world. Did they know they were making history? Did they have anyone to talk to about the momentous occasion?

Wow what a game so far. Tough that Caitlin had that little lapse of attention on her dribble to give SC a buffer to their slim lead, but still, what a half.
These athletes are *good* and playing *hard*.

This is of course true. Yet…
There’s a hill I may yet die on: “Apology” is overrated. “Acknowledgement” is the good stuff.
Refusal to apologize is refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing. Fake apologies that also avoid acknowledgment are every bit as common.
Apology overrated. Acknowledgement good.

Good on Rep. Swalwell to remind us that hypocrisy is a tell.
It’s how those who want to dominate over you demonstrate that they can.

Republican policies bring on the most pretzel-twisted questions.
For example, what is the best way to arm a frozen embryo? How do we get an AR-15 into those unformed hands?

They’re holding Smirnov in a facility in Pahrump, Nevada.
I’ve been to Pahrump.
Honestly, that may be punishment enough.
