AND THE AP CALLS IT. CINDY BURBANK HAS WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR NEBRASKA SENATE. SHE HAS PLEDGED TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE SO THAT REPUBLICAN PETE RICKETTS WILL BE FACED ALONE AGAINST INDEPENDENT DAN OSBORN.

Fun fact: my friend's husband, who is a doctor, told me recently that the Infectious Diseases section used to be called Tropical Diseases

In the heated NE-02 Democratic race to be the nominee to face off against Brinker Harding for the House seat, three candidates are likely to have the best shot to win tonight. (🧵)

Listening to the new Serial podcast "The Idiot", about a murder-for-hire plot by M Gessen's cousin. Their family expresses surprise that the cousin would have done this, and then briefly mention the fact that the cousin previously had his victim (his ex-wife) beaten within an inch of her life. ?!?!

it's every man's dream to inherit a really big expensive watch. it's every woman's dream to shoot someone through the eye with a longbow

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

it’s good for the soul to spend several hours a day with at least one beautiful woman though ill stand by that til i die. so you’re welcome, everyone i’ve ever hung out with

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

Imagine you had a few months to live, and all of the living you're doing now is painful. Rather than spending the precious God-given time you have left with your loved ones, or grappling with your complicated legacy, you go on TV to call everybody a bunch of virgins

This was my experience in this field. The way the laws are written, it's perfectly possible for a majority group person (white, male, Christian) to be discriminated against. The law does not differentiate. It just... doesn't really happen in real life, for obvious reasons.

It's Berkshire Hathawagy shareholder weekend, who wants to go out to the bars and terrorize some finance bros

Friendly reminder:

I love driving around in like Benson or Dundee and seeing a house with a Trump flag and all the surrounding houses have stuff like pride flags or blue dot signs. What's it like to be the one crazy neighbor that everybody else hates

I help organize a plus-size clothing swap for women/femmes about once a quarter, and every time we do it, we get multiple people asking if they can bring their boyfriends/husbands along to just hang out

Two more things about the Blue Dot discourse and then maybe I'll shut up about it: 1. It's a perpetual concern when a member of the unicameral decides to run for higher office in the middle of a term. People talked about it when Vargas ran for Congress. Bacon won, partly because of that fear.

Sometimes I miss being a librarian til I talk to a person in an uncontrolled social situation and then I'm like, ah yes, never mind

Vietnamization! We love to say it, don't we folks? The Vietcong... well maybe they're not all bad. Very fine people on both sides

All respect to former senator Megan Hunt, but what's the alternative here? Sending a less qualified, less effective candidate to the general and clinching a win for Brinker Harding, who has been endorsed by Trump?

Happy 8th birthday to HER

The thing about these religious exemptions to public accommodation civil rights law that the court is creating is that they have no limiting principle. If commercial enterprises can refuse to serve me because my marriage is gay, why not because it’s interracial? Why not because I’m a woman in pants?
