I think the one thing that really has people reeling about the 250 celebrations is that the State Fair idea was actually a REALLY GOOD IDEA. It could've been SO much. It could've been so much with minimal fucking effort. ANYONE who's been to a state fair, and even I have been to one...knows ...

I am sitting here eating blue and brown M&Ms while I can. Not a big M&M fan, but seemed like a thing to do.

Bullshit. They haven’t been calling PKs the entire tournament. There have been *much*worse fouls that they didn’t call.

the smaller football nations are getting shafted by refs in the last 10 min of every match

that is a lot of suck

How did I miss I am out of bread flour? sigh.

Lots of us pointing out the unsupervised algorithmic decision & $39.95 charged for blank page that says, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” But Springer Nature also killed an editorial that the editor-in-chief of Naturwissenschaften planned to write about the retractions.

I don't have a problem with having both moderates and progressive Democrats in Congress. I do have a problem when people collapse into a pile of wet noodles around fascism, and yet suddenly know how to pull every trick in the book to stop progressives.

Supergirl was excellent! I can see from reading reviews that several didn’t understand the feminist work the film does around grief, anger, and violence, including the trauma of women & girl refugees & the heart wrenching choices the parents of refugee children have to make. It’s worth supporting.

I would like to answer his question! "What happened here?" Because Danville, Virginia is one of the most important towns in America you've never heard of. 🧵

I have now showered in the United lounge and been reassured by the nice United service lady that either the bags will arrive on a different carrier or plenty of shops will be open in Porto and to keep receipts for United to reimburse me so I feel a million percent better.

2 years ago I was at a conference next to a lawyer from Buc-ee’s. I mentioned my confusion that no truck stop chains like Flying J had put in banks of chargers; I drive an EV and if I’ve got nothing to do for 40 minutes while charging, I’ll shop. Works for Target. She took furious notes. I wonder…

Momsofliberty candidate is scary close to an at large seat on my local board of education. Do your homework before voting! Some did; that is why the person has a high vote count. Plus other candidates split the rest of the vote. Plus i guess some voted based on superficial and did not look deeper.

There was grumbling about the expanded field for the World Cup but man, it's brought us nothing but one great Cinderella story after another. This was a thing of beauty and absolute joy.
