Finally saw this on Friday! My husband and I really enjoyed it. I laughed and cried. I can see why so many people are taking offense to it, and I'm eating that up. I thought it was cleverly subtle while being completely IN YOUR FACE with its messaging.

Jesus. H. Christ. Some people...

My kiddos start back on the 14th and 16th. And since Noah's at a charter school, even a public one, his school is on a completely different holiday schedule than Luke's.

Holy shit, jacob. did you even open the calendar??

OH crap. Thanks for the reminder. I was prescribed Ozempic since I'm pre-diabetic, but the pharmacy needed the doctor to approve something. I need to follow up.

Not sure exactly. I think they're looking at staying close~ish to Denver. We'll probably work out more of these details in the coming years.

We've been talking about moving out of Texas. We're not going anywhere as long as my grandparents are all still alive, so we've got a few years yet. My sister and BIL are looking at buying a large tract of land in Colorado, and we might do something like build on a small part of it. If that doesn't happen, we've talked about heading to the NW.

Yes. It's only fair.

HYPOTHETICALLY...my spouse would be laughing his ass off while I tried to politely faked a stomach bug.

I know I've said this before, but I still just love how hanging out with all of you is soo easy. It's amazing what 20ish years of online friendships can give you, even with people you still haven't actually "met" in person. I'm probably more comfortable and more of myself on these Zooms than I am with most people in real life.

Ahh. Good times. Good times.

I was shocked by the death! I know they haven't done much lately, but they're always just like a comfort character showing up randomly. Just nice knowing that there's someone out there fighting the good fight completely behind the scenes.

How do I join the game? Zoom is open btw

Do NOT show this to my teenager. OMG.

My heart truly breaks for the families of those men, and especially for the 19 year-old kid that was with them. But the absolute hubris and privilege on display from all of this is just...I don't know if there's a word tbh. It's anger inducing for sure.

Honestly, I don't have any major issues with Biden. And I doubt too many people do (R's excepted). He's just kinda...blah. I think he was a good solid choice for 2020, but I'd prefer that the party move on. But I'll vote for him over 95% of republicans these days. That party has moved from "conservative" to "crazy" and I just can't with that.

Somebody text me about 10 minutes before I'm supposed to open the Zoom. I might forget because I'm fairly sure I'm perimenopausal and my brain sucks these days

It's not really that. His base does not care one iota what he does. That won't change. But all this culture war bullshit is starting to really grate on many other people in their party, those that care more about their corporate profits than banning books or drag shows or whatever new thing they come up with next. Culture war fatigue. It's real. Even most of the leftists I know have it. People will vote for less drama.

I really don’t believe he’s electable in a general election. Most republicans know this. They know they screwed up by going along with his bullshit all these years because they can’t lose his base, but they also know he won’t win in a general election. It’s why I don’t much care that Biden is on the ballot again. He’s electable. His only real liability with the general public is his age.

He was a baby the last time you and I hung out. A baby. I don't understand this passage of time bullshit.
