www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2... These two things seem extremely related.

The right decision. If your real goal is to get rid of grossberg (as it should be) and you know you screwed up, don't draw votes away from the other candidate and make it worse. Take your lumps and move on.

It's giant what

I feel like this latest round of X/BlueSky discourse has highlighted something for me. Some people come here to talk to a LOT of people. Or talk *at* a lot of people. I come here to talk to like... Maybe 50 people. 100 on a really interesting day.

Today YouTube is going to teach me how to put refrigerant in a compressor. What could go wrong?

Please do not let your teenage boy get an electric dirt bike. They are treating them like regular bikes but they go like 30+ mph and I am watching these 14yo boys do the absolute dumbest things in the road, in literal traffic. They are not licensed, they are not registered, kids are going to die.

My only complaint is it says Morgantown, implying I would cheer for WVU. No, I just love the Duke. I'll cheer for Marshall sometimes though.

Hold on. The Wizard of Oz actually sucks. Like I know it's a classic but watch it again as an adult. It's really bad. It does not hold up. The music is great though. Obv godfather and apes hold up.

At some point we probably need to consider if A) the rising number of people driving like absolute idiots and B) the amount of people who are so smoked out that we can smell it from the next lane... are maybe connected?

It’s what they did in Ohio and nobody went to jail!

Ohio voted on illegal maps and also still used an illegal funding method for their school districts. Trump is illegally withholding funding from all kinds of programs. The right question isn't "is it legal" the right question is "what are the consequences if we do it anyways?"

To be clear, when the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled the new districts unconstitutional, the state legislature just said "sorry, we don't have another map to use so we have to use these." And the court said "Fine, use those. But we're mad about it." I don't see any reason Virginia can't be Ohio.

My kid's school is saying Canvas is back up and running, fwiw.

I remember when I was in college all my professors made me bring literal printed transparencies for every presentation in case we had tech issues that knocked the projector out. But entire colleges don't have a backup for canvas? Ok.

I don't think SGA did that on purpose but you can't dislocate a guy's elbow and not get a foul called on you. And that was just a dumb challenge by OKC.

He refuses to take accountability for his actions and has ignored calls for his resignation from Gov. Beshear, Lt. Gov. Coleman, and the Kentucky Democratic Party. If you live in District 30, I am begging you to vote this monster out on May 19th. (2/3)

You know what, I'm gonna rock out to some Yellowcard and clean the bathroom. I'm just gonna pretend everything in the world is normal.

Ok listen, if you're 30 and you've told a half dozen+ 20 something dudes you won't sleep with them unless they propose and NONE OF THEM HAVE that is the biggest flashing red light possible. Maybe at that point you re-evaluate your strategy for marriage.

I think it's likely Roberts genuinely believes this about himself, but I think it's impossible he doesn't know who Alito and Thomas are or understand why Kennedy retired when he did. Which makes all the rest complete bullshit. He knows, he just *wishes.*

This is why I add Vitamin K deficiency to the problem list, and inform the parents, so emergency treatment is not delayed. Other standard newborn interventions, including ocular prophylaxis and hepatitis b vaccination, are clearly documented and can be monitored through birth certificate data.

This is where measures of "the economy" and "personal wealth" diverge. The economy can look great, but if all we're doing is spending more money to get the same things (or mostly the same things) then it doesn't feel good. This shows up in inflation data, but there's a lag. Also consumer sentiment.

Evidence review finds HPV vaccines to be safe, extremely effective HPV vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer by 80% in women vaccinated by age 16, and aren’t associated with serious side effects, a new report finds. Read more: ow.ly/nRBl50YV6P0

If you are in Hamilton County and you do not have the HCDP endorsement sheet... I think this is readable with phone zoom.

Wait hold on, Republicans want to cut public benefits for people who drive luxury vehicles? I have some ideas I can give them. Let's start with the tax code and work our way up.

Dug a splinter out of my finger only to then see another splinter deeper behind it. 🙁🙁🙁

Doing dumb stuff like this is going to make it so that even with a massive gerrymander in every state possible, they still lose the midterms. How is no one telling them this? This shit is extremely unpopular even with their own constituents. Stacked on top of Iran? It's electoral suicide.

Will never stop saying "Wed-nes-day" in my head every time I see it in writing.

Ah crap I was hoping this would suck and I wouldn't have to watch it. This is gonna be brutal.

The single best advice I can give to younger adults is this: keep your friends and make rituals with them. Maintain those rituals for as long as possible, and rekindle them if they die.

Alright fine let's do this. Top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only. Sopranos. Andor. AGOT. Deadwood. 6 Feet Under. Supernatural. The Good Place. Band of Brothers. Scrubs. Community. HIMYM. Brooklyn 99. Justified. My Name is Earl. The Expanse.

Periodic reminder that the GOP doesn't actually care about consistent policy, they care about what "feels fair" to them. Which is why they see cutting IRS enforcement as good but *boosting* Medicaid eligibility enforcement also as good. This isn't a contradiction to them.

I'm going camping tonight. It's May 2nd. The average temperature in May is ~70/50. The overnight low tonight is 34. This is the second year in a row this has happened to us for our spring camping trip. Gonna be really nice on Sunday afternoon though.

If Grahm Platner could be the 60th vote to fund USAID then it is not just morally justified but morally necessary to vote for him and if you are struggling with that then it might be time to get off this website and talk to a real person.

As an adult, when was the last time you saw a Coca-Cola commercial? Was it at Xmas when they just did polar bears again? Maybe the reason you saw so much cola advertising before is because you were a kid and they targeted what kids watch.

The founders clearly did not anticipate the federal government having the level of detail it has about voters, and so did not expect this kind of district drawing shenanigans. And as much as I hate the SCOTUS ruling it doesn't change the fact that the solution is legislative.

I mean, it reads like a candidate who is too old, probably didn't want to do it but felt like it was an important and winnable seat, and then was happy to fade into the background when another candidate emerged. Which, I mean, fucking Nazi guy? Really? But not my state, not my voters.

Whoa. Janet Mills just suspended her Senate candidacy in Maine.

This is just straight up incorrect. Every study that has looked at this topic has set inclusion criteria for "ultra-processed food" because it's a requirement for the study. And there are dozens of theories for the mechanism, but adding "uniquely" here is intended to NTS the discussion.

Mostly correct but Del the Funky Homo messages me on discord. He doesn't email. We go back too far for that.

Today I linked all 5 minor pentatonic shapes from memory. Never been able to do that before. Did it in a few keys to make sure I understood. Something is starting to click in my brain now with how this stuff works.

I know this isn't the point but PKD definitely wrote more dystopic stuff than this. In one of his stories an advanced civilization, destroyed by war, leaves behind all of its greatest works of art guarded by self repairing guns that keep killing everyone who comes to retrieve them.

I have also stopped watching the CBS morning show almost completely and I can't tell if it's because Bari ruined it or if I just have a knee jerk reaction to being overly critical... But what I know is that I found myself arguing at the TV which is exactly what I *do not want* from a morning show.

That is definitely what *trump* said but it's not what trump's *media coverage* said. And that difference matters. His surrogates got on TV every morning and explained why he didn't mean what he said last night. They still do.

You know what *is* corporate welfare? The work requirements the GOP just passed on Medicaid. They will force people to take whatever job they can get, however poorly it pays.

Wait why can't Obama's daughters do it?

My trash Tuesday take is that the kind of guy who aggressively chases home runs at a regular season game is probably a dick. And so yeah of course he takes baseballs from 10 year olds. If it comes to you, great. Otherwise, sit the fuck down.

Hold on here. First of all, I do like Chipotle and Crumbl but Insomnia Cookies and Qdoba are better. Second of all, that ratio is terrible. That is entirely too many CFAs. 3rd of all, privacy fences fucking suuuuuuck. Neighbors rule. Lastly, a 45 minute commute would make me implode.

Emily leaves town for 5 days and I finish 3 shows. Time to start the next season of The Boys.

Yes. Like James Garfield.

It's interesting that the media, who were hosting the event the intruder was trying to get to, are going to sprint right past trump calling for THEM to be killed and into "did Democrats do this???" 🤔
