I'm a 4'11 heels/platform devotee, but it turns out I'm going to have to wear sneakers for pretty much the next five months. Can anyone recommend a stylish, yet comfortable pair?

No way.

How was the Trump speech, I was doing something more relevant (watching Mad Men)

I know we all hate Twitter/X here which is reasonable because it's full of Nazis. But I'm here to tell you that the most nefarious social media platform is Threads.

Watching The Five Star Weekend w/husband who did NOT appreciate when I started yelling, “They’re doing ‘Catch and Release’!” IYKYK

The Invite slaps. I will not hear any slander about The Invite.

Hot take: too hot.

I cannot stress enough how much you do not actually want Daylight Savings to be permanent.

at this point i think we can stop calling it “highly unusual”

I’m sorry but I will never understand the offsides rule. You can’t make me. Yes I played soccer as a child.

BARCLAYS: “.. AI has been widely heralded as a disinflationary force – a technology that will bring down costs, automate work, and boost productivity. For the time being, it is leading to the opposite: higher electricity costs, higher memory prices, and upward pressure on inflation.”

Finally reading Strangers and SCREAMING over every financial decision this woman made in her marriage. My god.

It sure is a bummer that they canceled baseball in May but I look forward to it returning next year. Or maybe in 2028.

Must alert everyone that the prevailing right-wing talking point on Threads, the dumbest social media platform on the planet, is that “they” (?) are telling people they can’t eat fruits or vegetables because of a big pharma hoax.

Not to stress anyone out but I'm pretty confident Susan Collins is going to keep her seat.

Well sure, my last flight (to Chicago) cost like $500 round-trip from New York.

That’s…not good

I have always been pretty confident Susan Collins was going to win despite the polling so I remain as baffled as ever by the Maine electorate

maine's senator should be one of those weird-colored lobsters they throw back every year

What was Morris Katz even doing if not vetting this man

What are the chances my flight makes it to New York today

The good news is that it’s 10 degrees cooler in Chicago than it is in New York right now. The bad news is that the city keeps flooding.

Greetings from Chicago, where it’s a mere 81 degrees. Blessed to be in the tundra.

Can't tell whether the "OH NO" posts are about the World Cup, the Mets game or the NBA trades.

Normally I'd be annoyed about having to leave New York on July 4th weekend but considering the circumstances this year I'd just like my flight to take off even earlier.

"The ruling essentially defines trans women and girls as men and boys under Title IX law. Even the liberal judges conceded that Title IX sex protections are based on 'biological sex,' a recently invented political term that seeks to create legitimacy for people’s assigned sex at birth.

And it has to be said, very loudly, that birthright citizenship was added explicitly to make formerly enslaved people and their descendants citizens so that the Dred Scott decision could never happen again. That it embraced immigrants was a benefit designed to prevent slavery from retrenchment.

Expanding the Supreme Court is a moral imperative, not just a political one. Take note, Democratic congressional candidates

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Shel Silverstein's Tree That Sets Appropriate Boundaries

The following is an official statement from respected journalist Dave Colon on @bsky.app’s outrageous violation of his First Amendment rights

My question about Disclosure Day is, at this point in human history, would anyone actually be shocked to learn that the U.S. government has been hiding proof of extraterrestrial life? Like I’d be shocked that they managed to keep it a secret but that’s about it.

I’m not a particularly patriotic person for obvious reasons but I am losing my mind at non-Americans on Threads calling Americans stupid and then confidently getting their geography wrong.

Perhaps journalists could look into Brad Lander’s record before writing sentences like these.

My husband has never seen History of the World, Part I and is therefore baffled whenever I start randomly singing, “The Inquisiiiiiition”

Why is it so ugly

Has anyone ever seen this man in a T-shirt

We had the following car tapes: Meet the Beatles, The Best of the Rolling Stones, two Bob Dylans (I want to say Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the Tracks, but maybe one was a best of?), multiple Bruce Springsteens and Sweet Baby James.

This is a despicable thing to do to four-year-old children.

Ok now get rid of most of the lineup

It is really funny how there’s a whole episode of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders about how much the Cowboys suck at football.

A lot of ppl on bluesky not actually familiar with NY politics think that the grousing since Tuesday from some NY (and BK specifically) Dems was just about the 3 House races when in fact it was way more about this

Lotta people on Threads, the second most insane social media platform (after Nextdoor) learning about primary elections for the first time.

If the Democrats want to be a party in power, they’re going to have to have candidates voters like and are excited about. And sometimes that requires primarying incumbents.

seemingly underrated aspect of DSA's electoral successes against incumbent moderate and centrist democrats is simply that the latter got lazy

There’s going to be a lot of discussion about this being a gentrifier-led revolution but imo a lot of what we’re seeing is a rise up among renters.

Folks…it’s a Mamdani hat trick

Unfortunately there is a new season of my favorite show, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I will be indisposed for the next few days.

Am honestly so jealous that the Brits can bully a leader enough to make them quit.

I’ve gotten so many Yvette Clarke texts this primary cycle, which I think is a fairly new phenomenon? Does she even have a competitive challenger?
