    This is how I always was.

    Then I sat down in Vegas at a machine and pulled a few times, while my husband sat next to me.

    Every time he lost, I won.

    A half hour later, I’m up $80 and vowing never to do this again, cause it suddenly makes sense.

    Now I can’t hear the “Kroger Top-of-the-Hour Conditioning” noise without getting a slight dopamine rush.

    The GOP spent 40 years building a Big Tent Coalition. Their message was simple - if you share some of our values, you’re one of us.

    The Dems have spent the past 10 years building a Shrinking Tent. Their message is now simple - unless you share every single value, down to a specific level of support for each community, you’re not one of us.

    And look who’s winning.



  • I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I’m pretty involved in my son’s life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I’ve ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

    “Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!”

    What? He’s being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

    At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.
