Went to the store and saw the current dresses in season. Listen, they've been long for a few years, which is a recession indicator. The fact that they're even longer, long sleeves, an covering the chest and neck IN SUMMER - I think we might be a bit more than a recession.

Hmm. Glad there's a hair stylist near me that includes language and such for non-binary/gender neutral - but also noticing the price list for them is the same as women (much higher than the mens). Hmm.

Suggested reading on why people accept bribes? Why rich people accept bribes? Why rich people accept very tiny bribes (yes, I originally typed bread)?

Ok, this may be an asinine question but...say I wasn't a multimillionaire/billionaire and I wanted to run a news outlet that made money. Why wouldn't I run one that's exactly opposite than what everyone else is doing? Why wouldn't I use language that correctly depicts what's going on?

Wooo! #sumo Wooo! Wooo!

Normalize calling liars, liars to their faces and in front of other people.

Mamdani: You know, the last person with 3 terms as President was FDR. Trump: signs 10 trillion dollar funding order for universal childcare.

So, the problem I was starting to have with Twitter and now with Bsky is that there are so many insanely knowledgeable people on here in industries that are not easy to understand the real inner workings on. But if I ask those people ?s, if I get any response it's typically dismissal.

Really? We've decided to all buy the long furbys? (DJ long furbys...)

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

It's the time of the year where there's so many added costs in my life outside of the holidays, I have started budgeting for December to be the month I don't want to look at my credit card statement. It's not just the insurances coming due, car usually has massive problem, extra dr appts...

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

no one wants their vote recorded

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

Does anyone know the start date of when ICE arrived in Chicago? Did they do the '30 days' thing again to not have to reimburse people or does that only apply to Nat Guard?

Guys, what happened to that dude that killed Charlie Kirk? Any new news on how woke he was?

You don’t hate the press enough.

Is now the time to talk about the pedophile billionaire in New Zealand who paid the courts to hide his name and his company for less than $50k and is only seeing a jail cell for far less than 2 years for thousands of counts of kiddie porn?

A literature hub for tracking up-to-date scientific information about the 2019 novel Coronavirus. "LitCovid is the most comprehensive resource on the subject, providing a central access to 472,248 (and growing ) relevant articles in PubMed." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

Woo, 9th Covid vaccine! 45G! Gonna have to do some sort of celebration for the 10th. Or could stick to snacks/sweets when start o feel a bit sick 12-24 hours after and maybe light a celebratory candle.

Why all stock markets down?

Elite media is capable of making *anything* into a "scandal." If they don't, it's because somebody doesn't want to.

I just received a document from DHS showing that it has a detained population of 65,000, a staggering total, nearing half the total prison population detained by the Bureau of Prisons. The project is to jam them in horrible conditions until they give up their rights to stay

Why is Windows trying to update when Windows 10 updates stopped weeks ago?

Not a single risotto recipe in the bunch

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

this is bait and so it’s important not to get too worked up about it. but a couple notes about how dishonest it is. (1) implies all the docs out today are related to the discharge petition; they’re not. and the petition itself remains unlikely to generate new documents for the public.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

I'm sure most of it's jokes - but having only seen the southern lights once (yes, I'm downunder) - If you're in a less light polluted area and others are seeing them - get an app for your phone to take long photos. Prop your phone up on something as if it's a tripod and give it a go.

Terminally-online people don’t understand most people don’t know this is happening. They aren’t online or their activity is limited to FB Marketplace or Amazon. They may watch the local news. This means they don’t see sizzle reels of ICE kidnappings on Twitter either. The average voter is oblivious.

A thing that's striking about how Bovino is always there in-person mugging it up for the cameras: they really don't have the manpower to do this on the massive scale they want to make it look like. They can't do this to multiple cities simultaneously on the level of how they're terrorizing Chicago.

THE MEDIAN AGE OF A U.S. HOME BUYER NOW SITS AT A RECORD HIGH OF 61 YEARS, PER NAR.

In other words, the Court is trying to buy itself two more days to see if the House approves the shutdown deal (which may well moot this case), rather than having to rule *now* on whether USDA can be forced to fully fund SNAP for November. And KBJ objects because she’d just deny the application now.

runforsomething.net/donate if you’re feeling similarly.

Called my both of my US Senators to express my opinion that they should demand Schumer and Durbin step down from their leadership positions immediately. You can do the same by dialing the US Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with your Senator's office.

Heads up: The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day.

Ok, there's too much internet and I have vaccines and a pergola to work on.

Let's go!

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

So it was the flights.

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Meanwhile, Donald Trump just pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Sydney Powell, and dozens of people who tried to steal the 2020 election.

Hey 2028 Dems, You should call for Schumer to go now. I promise it'll only help you.

So US Senators will let all of us be led to gas chambers before they fight, won't they? IDK why I'm asking. We all know the answer is yes.

Could have been the Epstein Files. Could have been RFK.
