remembering the grudge pelosi formed against jerry nadler of all people for daring to defy her and consistently push and push for impeachment of trump. lmao

i keep these types a lot in mind for when people talk about how you gotta build coalitions and backslap and not be so confrontational and all the reps who do just that consistently get told to go fuck themselves by leadership in the party no matter how long they've been in politics

the 'dramatic improvement since learning years of loyalty and quietly going along to get along got him jack and shit' train keeps rolling for markey

"It sounds like you're just feeding young white centrist dudes to Ed Markey."

Between Platner saying he wants El-Sayed to win so he has a lifting buddy and the GOP attacking Talarico for not being manly enough, I truly never want to hear anyone tell me that 2016 and 2024 weren’t about gender.

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

When I lived in NOLA, Verti Marte was a regular stop. A po’ boy could feed me for two meals, for a killer price. It warmed my heart to find it is still there. Sandwiches to write home about, and one of the best Muffalettas in the city, which is saying A LOT. Tiny, take out only, but KILLER.

If you’re visiting NOLA, you can EAT GOOOOOOOD, without breaking the bank. Coop’s Place is on Decatur in the Quarter, and it’s authentic New Orleans, that could charge 3x as much for the quality of the food. Skip the tourist spots, hit this. Eat and drink GOOOOOD, for very reasonable prices.

Platner story is weird because based on the reporting, it's either borderline un-newsworthy or so-bad-he-should-drop-out and the reporters who broke it don't even really seem to know which of those is the case.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

man how did graham platner fuck that one up

they should make a jackie chan game like the new bond one where you're just having slapstick fights. there should be a button to yell "sorry!" or "i don't want any trouble!" while you're smashing someone's skull with a mop

the video game "hearthstone" may be deeply foolish in a lot of ways, but nothing else in the universe would come up with the concept of a "frost-lich cross-stitch"

dug out my acoustic guitar for the first time in over a year. sang "one tin soldier," "october song," and "girl from the north country" and a few others. felt like something pent up got released

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

whatever happened to those guys who were sorry for party rocking

Found in a sidewalk giveaway pile, an incredible case of staple multi-generational Dudes Rock cassettes; a musical taste profile of a certain type of 1990s white guy frozen in time

awhile ago i bought a huge megatub of PB2 powdered peanut butter and i've started sprinkling heaps into stirfries, it adds great depth, i recommend

Sentence starts bad, somehow ends worse.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

Breaking: Louisiana Republicans just approved a new congressional map — eliminating one of the state's two majority-Black districts and drawing an additional Republican-leaning district in its place.

Heck, look how dated half of Genie's references in Aladdin were when the movie came out! Not to mention Tiny Toons and Animaniacs!

ok look. i've got a mandela effect going on. i'm someone who never watched shonen anime, so i don't know the origins of either one, but i remember maybe a decade ago the joke for a hand laser ninja move was "hadouken." everyone was saying it. now they're all saying "kamehameha." what gives?

Scott Summers next to sliced summer sausage.

see i knew this was going to happen. Jorge's exactly the sort of autist who sees a new toy that gives him creative control and a psychedelic result and thinks "this is so cool!" i had the same reaction when i first tried Ai art. but he's also vulnerable, for good or bad, to public pressure

every day i get to go out into the Louisiana heat, sit down at my lil local diner with some diet mountain dew, cool off, get work done, then walk home in the heat and jump into my air conditioned apartment and cool down again. it feels great, life is basically good rn

i keep getting these Ai promotional materials services emails trying to rep my book via Ai and i feel very weird turning down free publicity but it seems real sleazy

mainstream democrats have evolved some sort of gland in their brains that makes them fundamentally incapable of acknowledging the fact that the youth are depressed as shit and don't really have a lot of hope for the future left

talarico could not have shot himself in the foot harder than refusing to vocally fight for trans people when given the pulpit to do so. miserable own goal.

real talk, i walked out of Knives Out. did not care for it. it . . . insisted upon itself.

Yeah this is basically exactly what you said

the guardian doesn't mention this but maureen always spoke very expansively about LGBT rights. she wrote a play in *1968* about a trans woman transitioning whilst working in a laundrette and she was in a long term relationship with at least trans woman. as ever: fuck the guardian

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

got my chipped tooth fixed in less than a minute! shoutouts to second line dentistry, they're great!

In French, a dad bod is père shaped.

Pope Leo got behind the wheel of Ferrari’s first all-electric car at his residence in Castel Gandolfo near Rome.

2 of the dentists at my childhood dentist were called Dr Smiley and Dr Sharkey

one of my most “Character From a Whimsical Middle Grade Novel”-coded lore drops - which came up again this morning at the dentist - is that the three orthodontists we were given to choose from when I was a kid were Dr. Fear, Dr. Wrench, and Dr. Strange

it was never about kids, not one time

this is so disrespectful to the intellectual capacity and curiosity of children. unreal
