People of DC 10 minutes later:
Yeah didn't have it in me to suffer through the actual address, but I watched Bernies,. I can't believe the energy Bernie Sanders is bringing to the table. Bruh still gets that finger ☝️ up like he's 74.
I feel like he needs to be doing what he's doing right no, but there is an edge forming that feels like the Republic needs to be reformed. Democrats were too weak a party to have invested our hopes for the future in, that when empowered, all they can do is compromise and fuel that which we are trying to resist.
Bernie's got the fighting spirit that Democrats needed to have embraced in 08, which is anathema too all the brokers of power in the party now worship. There is no clear path to resolving the issues created by perpetual cuckoldry of DNC leadership, or frankly, the DNC base. The handwringing, the schadenfreude when they are actually losing, the elevation of norms and social grace to canon: a general unwillingness to act early enough or forcefully enough to make a difference.
You can and should hate the Republican part for what they are. However, it wasn't the Republicans who have perpetually and permanently betrayed you at every turn. While Republicans do and say and promise horrible things, they're honest to your face about it.
The Democratic party is a farce older than the modern progressive movement, and in some ways, have held worse faith than the Republican party, at least with their core constituencies. They vacuumed up the support of the resistance movements and did basically nothing with all the power people have attempted to hand them over the previous 25 years. They've been a grounding rod to prevent the lighting strikes of change that the American electorate have been demanding since before 9/11, and through their unwillingness to accept their role, they've handed all the power their constituents imbued them with to a part of white nationalists and fascists.
To quote a malapropism: "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."
If your opponents are imbecile, and incompetents, and fools; and you are consistently losing to them yet are willing to make any adjustments in your approach, what does that then make you?
Is "fry whatever you have around, possibly with cabbage" really a recipe?
Gonna give it a ahot
if you want to keep losing elections, keep at it.
So.. funny story (well not funny, horrible).
So a friend of mine recently (within the past 3 years) was motivated to go back to school and get their degree in conservation biology. They had been a chef for a while and were sick of it. I pushed them to quit their job and get back into it, and they did.
They ended up getting an internship with a federal department, and are still technically a probationary employee (not career or term). They are still in school but the work was what they wanted to be doing, so they went for it.
So it turns out, almost all the career and term staff have now been let go. But they, as a probationary employee, are still there. Like somehow they were missed or forgotten. So now, somehow, they are in charge or at least responsible... for almost everything?
Its the smokey the bear meme about "only you; no seriously its just you now" in real life.
You can call me the fediverse chick
If this is what you got from reading that, maybe have another at-bat.

Apple banana coming in. I've had this patch planted maybe five years. It's becoming a bit of a problem and I'm gonna have to move it because it's taking over and crowding out some native plants but I thought garden and farm nerds might want to see how non industrial bananas are grown.
You startem out as keiki:
which grow at the base of a large corm, or pseudo bulb. I usually dig them out with a shovel and then throw them in a pot like this for to transplant. I fertilize with an organic heavy phosphorus mix just to get them going.
[note: this picture isn't apple banana, but Tahitian blue banana.]
At that point, with enough water and any where from 30-100% sunlight, they establish themselves. It takes almost 18 months from keiki to mature fruiting plant, and usually your first bananas are so so in quality. However, the new keiki will be coming up (about 12 months after planting), and if you irrigate or have enough rainfall, once established, you press up up down down LRLR start select, and that unlocks the infinite banana cheat code. Bananas, once established, are insanely productive, and you can manage the sugar to fiber ratio by how early you harvest. Boiled banana a favorite at our house and we do that with very immature bananas.
When a banana plant is ready to give it starts to lean. Bananas are all effectively nodal clones from the base of the corm, and can be pretty destructive. We had some come down on a fence and with the stem, which is basically all water, and the bananas, it's at least a couple kg suspended pretty high in the air. You can also tell they ripe when they yellow up and start to fan out like a open palm 🫴. The longer you wait the better the flavor is, but also more likely to fall uncontrollably. Depending on the variety can do real damage to cars or whatever underneath.
Most of thes going to go to a food bank and we grow enough fruit to keep an ice box pretty much full all year. Anything extra goes to an auntie who that's her thang and she'll make sure they get to the right people.
