THE VISCOUNT & VISCOUNTESS Bridgerton 3.01 "Out of the Shadows"

So the barbie movie happened 😭😭😭😭

Part of what Cory Booker is doing with this filibuster is reading things into the record. Sometimes when people do a filibuster, they just say shit. I think one time Ted Cruz read "Green Eggs and Ham" into the record. Another dude sang the Mets theme song or whatever the shit.

If you actually have substantial things to say, you don't have to do that. I mean, not for nothing, but what we're watching here is a man doing the job he was elected to do. Our public officials work for us, the people. It's nice to see some of them take that obligation seriously.

Booker is standing there with a binder that he's not even halfway through reading. *Over 42k people are watching it just on YouTube. I haven't watched the news yet today, but I've got the live feed of this open on my computer.

I hope he has a catheter and/or a diaper on. He said he'd continue as long as he's physically able. Probably he's been on a liquid diet for a day or so. I would plan ahead for this.

If Republicans are going to refuse to do the work, if they're going to refuse to take up serious business and would like instead to fuck shit up... Well, we've got a choice to make, don't we? I don't know what the long-term solution looks like. But we can and should talk about it. We can and should take steps to make sure the public record reflects reality to the extent possible.

Really, if we want to come back from this, we have to talk about it. And we know that the official records during this time especially will be, shall we say, less than reliable. So there is value in speaking the truth into the public record.

I'm not in love with the Democratic party as an institution. But this can also be energizing and inspiring for people. He's setting an example, and hopefully his example will shame others into growing a backbone. Hopefully.

I really don't have any hope for Schumer. But Booker, along with folks like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett, are doing what they can do, and I respect it.

This is definitely a coordinated thing, though. Finally, Dems are showing that they have some strategic ability. Booker is the main speaker, but other Dems are asking questions, while allowing him to retain the floor. In this way, it's clear that they're working together, and several people in the room have jobs to do in support of Booker's efforts. They're expanding on his points and doing a call-and-response thing, which is an effective tactic in more ways than one, and it allows him to rest his voice for a few moments at a time.

So I'm not becoming a cheerleader for anybody yet. But what he's doing is important, even if it doesn't change anything directly.

Miss me with bipartisanship talk though. I really can't see that as a viable option at this point. Unless something radical changes, I wouldn't trust that at all. So anytime somebody like Schumer talks about Republicans coming to the table, I can't be bothered to listen. They have repeatedly shown us that they have no intention of doing that and that they further do not care about right and wrong at all. Or if they do, they think their actions are right, and I'm not sure which is worse, but in both cases, I would not call them trustworthy. Their priority is being in lockstep with Trump and the prescribed agenda of the party, not the American people.

At least Booker is trying to do something. Shit.

THE MANDALORIAN CHAPTER 8: REDEMPTION

[on-a-lucky-tide]

Bear shifter Nikolai desperate to mate bear shifter Price and trying everything in his extensive repertoire to woo him, including gifting him with the biggest king salmon he can find while they're on op in Canada. He caught it with his own two paws while two native bears watched in confusion.

"What am I meant t' do with this, Nik?"

"Gut it, cook it, perhaps sautée some potatoes, be mine."

"Whot?"

"What?"

Now that it's here I do have a few things I want to get off my chest.

I'm sorry for how long it took. I have a demanding job and I'm physically weak so I tire very easily. I can't write for hours and hours the way I'd like after a shift of work. I'm just too tired. I'd be much more productive if I can cut back on my day job but I am not in that part of my life yet where I can do so. (The New York rent is a running complaint in 502 for a reason...) I apologize again. I know it's frustrating. I will work hard to update the story much quicker. One episode a year isn't feasible for you or me :P

Rainn and MC have been together for 3 years. This was already a complaint in the last update. Frankly, this is one criticism I don't understand. MC will not get over Rainn overnight and they will be mentioned a lot in the beginning of the story as MC navigates the grief of getting dumped and moving on. Rainn will be getting mentioned a lot in Episode 2. I'm not going to sacrifice the realism of getting dumped by someone you were with for years and expected to live with. It won't be for the entire story. Eventually in time Rainn can be a side character and (largely) disappear from MC's mind if you choose. That time is not now.

Please stop sending me hate in my inbox. It makes me bitter and spiteful.

Enjoy! I hope you like it <33333
