  • You know, you’re right. I’m weird. I love being weird. I associate with weird people, generally those who would also self-identify as weird.

    It’s a fluid word that can be used in a lot of weird ways.

    But it has never bothered me that it’s used in this context personally. I understand it’s directed at people who are just not right, and in other times that could’ve included some of us.

    It’s of course meant in the context of “You are acting unacceptably and we can’t be quiet about it anymore.”

    And the meme came from Gov. Walz, who carves butter. That’s weird! In a strange and adorable Midwestern way.








  • The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

    But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.

    And we will.

    Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.

    But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.

    But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.

    There’s a whole range of possible symptomatic ‘quirks’ autistic people have. I wouldn’t go trying to determine “how autistic” you are in such a way.

    If you go out of your way to try new foods, but settle in on the one thing you like and keep getting it, to me that would seem a little obsessive from both sides.

    “I must try everything so I know the best one.”

    Most people would go “Hmm, what do I want tonight?” That’s the ‘normal’.

    Me, I was very picky as a kid. Then I opened up my palate and tried a bunch of new things, surprising relatives who had known me my whole life.

    Then I discovered I have serious sensitivities, which is probably why as a kid I stuck with just a few foods.

    But in the end I don’t know I am autistic. I’d just be surprised if I wasn’t.
