yr friendly neighborhood former musicologist here to tell you this holds up and “jonasquin” is a great username

have been pretty good about going to a meditation or relaxation class at least a couple times a month, and every time I get back from one and get on here it seems more obvious that a lot of people aren’t doing anything to make themselves less reactive

I can’t tell if the football game on tv is that consequential for some reason or if the fans in here are just that drunk lol

just heard someone describe TPUSA as "kirkchella"

oh man i bought this weighed neck collar thing at the thrift store for $2 and i'm pretty sure i need to just wear it 24/7

minaj is on the verge of having her $20M home forcibly sold by the court to cover a $500K debt, in case you wonder what’s going on here

Oh this’ll end well for sure

before everybody gets to sharing this, the only source seems to be this tweet from a youtuber. Nobody has it posted or shared anywhere with a link to the files or file name, and nobody else has reported on it that I can find? The other pic of Trump made the news pretty fast

1/ We have an update to share on this past reporting: We reported in late October that Gael Gomez and his family were all but certain to leave D.C. due to the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. But so far Gael is still here — trying to find a way to stay. 🧵

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

ok but when was the last time you saw magnetic tape unspooled all over the ground

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

it's a little covered by some of the other categories, but I would love to know how people are reacting to his handling of the military in general

all evening this has had me thinking of the very many marketing consultants i have worked with over the years who act like they are making fair inferences from data, when most of the time it's just a powerpoint deck of stuff they think sounds cool

checked to see if i got any holiday cards and I didn’t but I had an overdue medical bill I never got in the first place and a jury duty summons so

I am an expert in prompt engineering, actually* *shaking the magic 8 ball again

i feel like he’s losing the media lol

stopped in Giant on H street to pick something up and why are the national guard in here

this is the future liberals want

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

as an avowed pacifist who is also anti-head injury in sports, I hate that this is so satisfying

a guy on the bus is telling me he’s running for Holmes Norton’s seat

ok but when was the last time you saw magnetic tape unspooled all over the ground

I guess I just think it’s completely preposterous to think that political candidates should make no effort to move public thinking on an issue

ok who is gonna go adopt Bimbap

seriously what would you do differently if you wanted to make this worse

Biden ran a point and a half ahead of House Dems generally. But more relevant: you know what winning a seat by 13 points instead of 8 points gets you? Absolutely nothing. Even if Casten traded away a few points he didn't need anyway in order to go further on whatever issue, that's rational behavior!

This is why I'm really starting to hate the data bros. Matty Y: "Dems should focus less on climate change/renewable energy, it's a losing issue." Sean Casten (an actual Congressman): "I won a purple district multiple times by focusing on those issues" Lakshya: "YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T OVERPERFORM"

still out scavenging things for upcycling and I randomly made friends with a fellow mender at a thrift store who taught me a super cool way to patch things, all because I was wearing a @capitolhillbooks.bsky.social hat

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Oh man. They have now deleted this Epstein photo that they overlooked showed Trump. As people have said, their incompetence may be our only salvation.

ok I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for but Upcycle in Alexandria is open again as of yesterday and I get such good stuff there for so cheap it feels like stealing

well idk much about natural gas production but Matty is certainly getting liquified

i mean what do i know, but i feel like the right wing continuing to obsess over 2020 election stuff in Georgia just pisses off the moderate republicans who actually run a lot of the statewide elections (and who they kinda need in their corner to hold power) and potentially suppresses R votes

get in loser, we're going scavenging for craft supplies

may i suggest

oh more stuff showing up in the files now

😑 www.wkyc.com/article/news...

oh missed this one

These Epstein files are wild

🤔

All legal options are on the table to force the release and hold predators accountable.

still true

this seems especially funny bc one of the few reasons they can legally redact is if the materials are related to a current investigation, and aren't big democratic names like Clinton the ones they were supposedly opening investigations into

he says part of the reason they took the road they did is bc if Bondi doesn't comply, it will be a crime (as opposed to ignoring a subpoena or something and being in contempt of congress)

i can't stop laughing at: HUSBAND WAS ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN FINAL DISAPPEARING ACT; AT END OF SHOW, WIFE GOT VERY UPSET BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T FIND HIM

the files were not only supposed to be complete, they were supposed to be searchable, yo!
