It feels like everyone I know is fighting some kind of quiet battle against a system run amok. I used to live in the Bay Area where I assumed it was just the high cost of living. But I have moved to the Midwest and it seems like a different set of problems with the same result. The problems are different but the grind is the same. There are signs of it everywhere. We are out here awash in a sea of doubt, the waves crashing about us. We are on the grind.

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.

from Mike the Liberal:
This response from itzadryheat to my comment about tiki torches in Crashing Vor's diary A Perfect Picture of the 24% might just be the germination of the greatest hoax ever done on MAGA hat wearers. It's pretty damned funny. And we really want to do this! If there were just some way...

Oh, and there was, apparently, sportsing today. Which reminds me that we should all watch the SOTU over antannae so we don’t contribute to his ratings. And then turn every tv we have into Stacey Abrams’ response.
