@jaythvv I myself surely don't understand.

> Be excellent to each other!100%. So how do we get centre-right parties cosplaying as "left" to adopt this mantra, in place of 'be excellent to the donor class'? So we can drag them back at least as far as the centre-left.
MASTER PLAN, Ep 6: The Maverick Vs. The Corruption Machine
After John McCain got caught up in a corruption scheme, he went to war with his own party to try to make sure it never happened again.

@strypey @Npars01 I have shared publicly here in recent days and yesterday that I just lost a family member and am grieving.
Do you think you're being excellent to me as you issue these confrontative postings to me, one following the other?
This does not feel to me, the recipient of your postings, as if it's behavior rooted in your desire to be excellent to me.
-
@wdlindsy My apologies, I hadn't seen those posts and I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for your impressively measured responses, given that context.
FWIW I'm making no effort to be confrontational, just honest. About a topic I consider existentially important. But I totally understand that robust political debate is not going to be what you're up for right now.

Please spend this time of loss and grief with family and friends.
Know that your Mastodon posts are valued, but know that you and yours are the priority now.
Take care of yourself and accept my apologies for intruding on you at this time.

@Npars01 Thank you. I'm very grateful to you. I'm definitely trying to give myself time to process this loss and my grief. I tend by nature to be a "doer" and find it a bit hard to slow down, but I know that's very important and am working at it.
-
@strypey Thank you for understanding. I do not mean to be truculent, but am processing quite a bit right now.

@wdlindsy All hail #Kakistocracy!

> I do not mean to be truculent, but am processing quite a bit right nowFirstly, my very best wishes to you and yours, as you work through this challenging transition.
Secondly, I'm not sure how to say truculent means, or exactly what it means, but what a fantastic word! Hats off to your word power : )
Looking it up right now ...

Truculent, pronounced like truck-you-lint;
"from Latin truculentus (“fierce, savage”), from trux (“fierce, wild”)."
That's definitely me : P
