Love 2 go to the doctor and not know what body part they’re analyzing

Haven't seen Paul at all today. It's 945p. TGIF? I miss hanging with my husband after a long, hard work week. #chronicillness #GBS Do we still use hashtags? 🤷‍♀️ Le sigh.

I want this 😁

"Catcher in the Rye." Anything by Jack Kerouac. 99% of Alan Ginsberg's work (could be biased because he was mean to me when I interviewed him for a radio show once). Sensing a trend?

Home ownership. I lived in apartments from birth til my mid-30s (very brief period in my early 30s when I owned with my ex-husband but I gave it to him in the divorce just to get out quick). I truly believed being a homeowner was "making it." I get the $$ value, but it suuuucks.

Oddly, even though I just posted about "Sharknado," this answer will always be: "Jaws" the movie was vastly better than "Jaws" the book.

In light of the news today that another installment is in the works, I'm gonna have to say the "Sharknado" franchise. I'm sure any other day, I'd have a better answer.

Senator Tina enjoys her fucking weekends and she wants all of us to enjoy our fucking weekends that's someone who understands the people and understands the fucking weekend and understands AMERICA

Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying. Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

YAY!

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Mitch McConnell (with help from John Thune) SNUCK legislation into the "clean" CR on behalf of BIG ALCOHOL, which will effectively kill the hemp industry in America. Hemp Farmers will be devastated along w/thousands of small businesses, staggering job losses will pile up just before Holiday Season.

They’re calling her Megyn. R Kelly now.

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

Trump is cutting funding that helps end homelessness. And now, over 170,000 people are at risk of being pushed out of homes and back onto the streets. We’re in a housing crisis. The solution isn’t kicking people out of their homes – it’s building more housing.

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

DOJ asking for a 1 day sentence was insulting enough — this is a complete affront to the justice Breonna Taylor deserves.

This man, Rev. Michael Woolf, wrote this for us earlier this month: "It is up to us to keep our communities safe from this terror, and scripture tells us that God will meet us there—at the picket line, amid the tear gas." sojo.net/articles/opi...

One of the real revelations of the Epstein emails is that Epstein himself was not especially bright, dispelling the "genius" tag that had always seemed ill fitting. It's almost like there was some other reason rich and powerful men were drawn to him, some other skill he had. Weird.

Published yesterday: The Trump Organization requested a record 184 foreign workers this year. me, for @forbes.com

Thinking about how quickly my 7th grade English teacher would've ripped a red pen line through this headline and written "PASSIVE VOICE"

The NYPD has 34,000 officers. If, say, 300 leave, that’s less than 1%, which is still well below the normal annual rate of attrition.

Louisvillagers: I have just discovered that there is an Indi's a couple of minutes from work. I've only had it at catered events (at work), so tell me, what's good? Chicken for sure... but I never seem to make it to work lunches before the sides have run out. What else is good?

@cornbreadhemp.bsky.social is everywhere in the new. My boss, @jimhigdon.bsky.social was on NPR Marketplace this morning, CNN tomorrow morning. Every customer who came into our store today had seen us on the news last night!

fuck *absolutely everything* about this administration, but top of mind today is fuck their permanent supportive housing cuts

remember iu's football success is currently being used to sportswash the regime of president witten. 93% of faculty gave a vote of no confidence and the board of trustees did nothing.

We sent an email to our customers today updating them on the hemp ban. One customer emailed back and said "You will be fine. It's only THC products, not CBD." And attached an AI article saying just that. Like we wouldn't know what's actually going on in our industry and she was setting us straight!

$28 Billion Hemp Industry Faces Extinction With Government Re-Opening @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/willya...

This is not normal. This is the direct result of Republican inaction on the health care crisis. I'm tired of Congress pretending we're powerless to fix this.

ICYMI ... Congress should nix a regulatory bait-and-switch on hemp – www.forwardky.com/congress-sho...

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Last night, Congress passed a government funding bill that included language to ban the entire hemp cannabinoid industry. Comment, like, and share this post to let the world know you are with us and oppose the ban on hemp!

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this happened! this is a thing that happened!

It sucks to watch locals close. But if you’re in Louisville and looking for good food and good beer, my sister’s taproom, Shippingport Brewing, is still going, and she could use your support. She also used to be head brewer at Against the Grain a few years ago, just so you all know….

FX’s renewal of “English Teacher” sends a dangerous message: FX's decision to look past allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez signals a troubling disregard for survivors By @moryan.bsky.social

When I graduated HS, I'd been working for years at a local diner. Tons of regulars. I was 17. On grad day, a bouquet of 2dzn red roses were delivered to my house with a love poem. Anonymous. I hoped they were from my crush. They were from a 50+ y/o regular. Tale as old as time...

A lot of people have said this already but I have gone from "Epstein probably just killed himself" to "Donald Trump personally performed Sub-Zero's Spine Ripper Fatality on Epstein right there in his cell."

In local Louisville news: Yesterday Silver Dollar announced they're closing. Today, Against The Grain at Slugger Field announced they're closing. Never been a big fan of either, to be honest. But both have been around a while (I know SD changed ownership). ATG had beers I liked, but the food...? 🫤

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed That they should “try harder” The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

...well that's new

If there were any decent and respectable leaders left in the Republican Party, they would be sitting Trump down and telling him it’s over. They did it with Nixon. How sad that we’re longing for the days of Nixon?!?!

And due to the temps they reach, they kill a good number of bacteria. One of the best inventions

I think it's pretty pathetic when people use ChatGPT to write an email, because who can't write an email? But then I saw all these Epstein emails. These guys can't write emails.
