Tim Walz tonight was a teacher. I mean that in the best possible way! Providing context, extrapolating the unintended consequences, giving space for the student to grapple with their own understanding and values in a safe way. Vance is the loud guy who presents his cousin’s friend’s story as fact.

Many abused women don't even make it to giving birth. So I am seething at Vance's implication that his "friend" doesn't know her own life. That he could callously share her story and then suggest she lacked character. He's vile. And no amount of Yale polished car sales shlock will cover the stench.

if you’re wondering why JD Vance doesn’t think childcare is expensive, it’s because his mother-in-law dropped her professorship to become a live-in nanny, as he believes “post-menopausal females” should do. he also suggested that otherwise, she should’ve paid for their childcare.

The humor in this pastoral classic with themes of hard work, empathy, and self-sacrifice contrasted against self-indulgence, gluttony, and greed being kind of perfect is not lost on me. The action happens at a LITERAL state/county fair!!

JD Vance is just three horny raccoons in a trenchcoat, feasting on garbage like Templeton in the Smorgasbord song from the animated feature classic Charlotte’s Web

There’s a specific brand of smarmy kid you can probably picture, who picks one non-essential detail in an argument, simplifies it, and declares, “nuh-uh!!” before doing a self-congratulatory fist pump. While the rest of the class goes, weird flex but if you wanna talk deets you’re maliciously wrong.

Tim Walz, I am begging you to take over the debate by walking us through a top score completion of the AP US History PDQ example on how the Constitution survived because it offered a stronger federal backing than the Articles of Confederation. This could be your JAM. Notepad data viz, let’s gooo!

This article is SPOT. ON. “The result is a life of perpetual outrage because the rest of the world seems uninterested in flattering them endlessly about how they are the greatest, smartest, funniest, best boys of all time.”

It seems all JD Vance does is whine, especially about reporters asking him questions — often after he invites them to. David Frum thinks he's "thin-skinned." But it's worse than that: Vance is so MAGA-pilled, he thinks whining is a good look. www.salon.com/2024/10/01/j...

JD Vance isn't just thin-skinned — he thinks whining is a clever political strategy

Trump's running mate soaks in the online culture of MAGA self-pity and doesn't realize it annoys normal people

Does unliking and re-liking notify you again? Asking for a friend…
