"The Deal" is on and it feels *so* uncomfortable to watch an episode about Elaine & Jerry's romantic relationship. It's icky tbh!!!
Until last night we hadn't had a massive rain since I started feeding the crows, and I'm waiting for the NextDoor posts that are like, "My gutters were clogged and when I went to clean them they were full of peanut shells" :/
I'm watching the latest Taskmaster Outtakes and I actually think Chloe, Isy, and Richard have a fun energy together in studio (for the exact reason Chloe points out: they start bickering with Richard, and then Isy says something ridiculous)

JULIA LETLOW will be the first US senator whose name contains exactly one of each vowel since EDWIN S. BROUSSARD (a 94-year gap)
"total cynicism can be just as self-defeating as libbed out naïveté" YES
There is a very real, understandable impulse to just roll one's eyes and say "well Democrats aren't going to do anything anyway" but the stakes for human lives are just too high for that. I genuinely think total cynicism can be just as self-defeating as libbed out naïveté. This is a generational mandate for real change and we have to demand/require that our representatives actually do something with it
When my dad was in the hospital I was like "OK, I'm going to go have a snack, don't do anything dramatic while I'm gone." Five minutes later I head back to his room and the nurse stopped me to tell me he passed.

I talked to a lot of purple state normies about the campaign this year and while a decent number of them believe genuinely in compromise and working together the majority of Dem primary voters demand blood
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
I tuned into NBC for Kornacki, and then also got to see Savannah Guthrie smack down a Republican guy and someone in AOC's camp be like, "It's hard to be too excited because Dems never deliver"

A rare albino porcupine was spotted crossing a road in Vermont! According to a wildlife center in Maine, only about 1 in 10,000 porcupines are born with albinism.
