I am slowly coming back around to something approaching normalcy after my jaunt up and down the Mid Atlantic Seaboard. I have spent a few nights in my own bed and the dog is speaking to me again. Life ain’t too bad. Tonight, I shall ramble. You have been warned.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
My ability to put thoughts together and translate them into words is slowly coming back. Bear with me, please. I got to spend the morning easing into the world with AM Joy and Dee’s FP piece about the New Young Lords. My socials are beefed up with a boatload of new friends. I’m even, kind of, doing the Twitter. So I’m having even more great conversation threads.
My wife launched her website at a conference of her own on Friday morning. The fact that I was able to coordinate all of the socials and the website to be “on” is a minor miracle. (see it here)
Meanwhile, protesters are taking to the streets in both Puerto Rico and Hong Kong.
And still:
- Flint’s water is all fucked up
- Human beings are sitting in our cages on the southern border
- Homelessness is on the rise
- Most US families are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy
- People are arguing POTUS isn’t a racist because he didn’t cite color with “send her back”
and then there’s this …
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 I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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.
