I picked the wrong millennium to quit drinking!

Thank you for all the work you’ve done for Harris. And for your writing. You do make a difference.

This is the way.. paying Jedeed-like folks to live a writer's life instead of being peddled shit on X. She can write better hungover, furious, and crying than 99% everything else I read (sorry if I'm making false assumptions.)

May I please please use this quote in the "about" section, it is in the running for my favorite compliment of all time

Thank you for knocking on doors. Thank you for helping me de-stress for a few minutes while listening to you. I’m calmer than I was a few weeks ago just because the campaign is almost over. By this time tomorrow, we will have ruled out at least two of the four possbilities.

FWIW, I read the last line *twice* incorrectly as:

"To survive, you must find yourself. Then it won’t matter where you die"

Weirdly both a very different meaning and the exact same one

I wish you good luck in our new strange reality.

Thank you for this. One of the things I am most weary from is the barrage of articles proclaiming what is going to happen and why. I read them thinking they might offer some new info that backs up their claim, only to find that no, they are sure because they are sure (trying to force reality to march the map in their mind?). It's refreshing to read and honest assessment of where we find ourselves this morning.

Thank you -- coming at you from the future I am also personally very tired of people acting like they didn't get it wrong and knew all along.

Sounds like a fascinating book. I’ll have to check it out.

That book helped me survive both a rip tide and an extremely dark night of the soul. Worth every penny
