I miss the Grand Old Party (GOP) and long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. (We idealistic hippies sometimes need to be reined in by practical conservatism.) But this election is different… and much deeper than D versus R and left versus right. It’s a clear choice, and the survival of our democracy is on the line. The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris. The world needs America.

Dammit, they figured out the Democrat's plan.......WTF

Remains a stunning failure on the part of nation's leading news orgs that none appear to be pressing for any official report or even statement on how Trump sustained his injury because they fear blowback from an aggressive Trump campaign. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/one-oth… via @TPM

@RickSteves The Middleheim Sculpture Park outside Antwerp, Belgium is a great break from everything going on in the city and an easy bike ride away. Very interesting artworks, lots of trees and green space - and free.

When I’m in Europe, I hear a lot of people complaining about the crowds. And generally, it’s because they’re all going to the same famous places at peak times. But I’d estimate 99% of Europe has no crowds at all. So, stop moaning about crowds and instead think about avoiding them. The theme of my spring trip was exploring neighborhoods and finding serendipitous magic moments — in a market, in a park, at the cobbler’s, popping into a church — to turn into travel memories. In this clip, it was early evening in a crusty district of Naples called Sanitá (your choice of neighborhoods makes a big difference)… the church was open… a middle school orchestra was practicing… and I stumbled onto a moment I’ll never forget. What magic moments have you found in the untouristy parts of Europe? Inspire me with a little positive serendipity you enjoyed… because you left the crowds.

@BillKristol What if the strategy is not to win an election, but to seize power by force at the federal and state levels via militias, sympathizers, and current electeds who will refuse to leave office?

“To win the election, you need to win over hesitant or even reluctant voters. And these voters respond to people like themselves, saying things that resonate with them, and sounding different from the normal cheerleading one hears in political ads.” plus.thebulwark.com/p/trump-can-be…

I am a lifelong Republican, and I will support Donald Trump as our party’s nominee for President. Republican voters across our country have spoken, and it is clear we want to return to the secure borders, strong economy, energy independence, and SCOTUS nominations that President Trump delivered. It is time to defeat Joe Biden.

@yogacid I’d be interested in the results for “safe container” as well. I mean - I get it in both instances, but it just seems like there could be better terminology.

The term “holding space” is cringe.

@solarise_webdev @remkusdevries @zackkatz Looks like it's iffy and conditional: docs.gravitykit.com/article/729-ca…

@remkusdevries @zackkatz Might be able to add a custom hook that'll sync the data between the GF entry and the CPT if not - though feels like a bit of a workaround. I also recall working with acf_form() too a while ago, can't remember exactly how straightforward it was though. advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_…

@DanWilsonMusic @SemisonicBand It’s beautiful. Thank you so much for making more music. :)

I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. The “Little Bit of Sun” album is finally out and we can’t wait for you to hear these songs. What a soulful, joyful, funny, complicated, challenging, satisfying labor of rock band love it was to create this batch of songs! @SemisonicBand

@SerweWX My least favorite and most expensive thing that I have to deal with *every year*

@theothermoody I'm looking forward to it, too, but anticipating the same disappointment we get every year.

ok fine i made some Pavement datavis comparing setlists from the 2022-3 reunion to shows going back to the 90s (ICYMI i went to 13 @pavement_band shows [17%] during the reunion) not for the faint-hearted; know your versions of "Here" before entering: deniselu.com/sandbox/paveme…

@DeniseDSLu @pavement_band This is amazing - thank you!

@BNastanovich Can we take this as a confirmation that there WILL BE MORE SHOWS? And there should be a show in Omaha, since we're so centrally located and have this amazing new venue called Steelhouse that clearly understands what "perfect sound forever" is supposed to mean.

@jameslkent These jokers are going to ruin it for the rest of us.

The current state of Twitter leaves me thinking that it’s time to be done here. I’m on most of the other places at the same handle if you care to follow. Good job killing it, Elmo.

@ChuckGrassley If you're praising the Lord about this, what exactly is it that Jesus would be happy about in this situation?
