Mr. Ellison removing all doubt about where he stands. Meeting with a senator or even attending the State of the Union could be defended as typical CEO stuff. But the in-office picture and MAGA thumbs up? Ooof.

I had a well-connected person in the media suggest that I reach out to Bari, and let me just say, I would turn down eight figures.

The United States of America

“Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality. He did not forge connections with these people: He saw they were already in alignment." So well said.

Very, very excellent Ingrid Bergman performance in this one.

If you have TCM your evening would be way better spent watching this classic, which will also help you understand once and for all what "gaslighting" actually is.

Heck watching any one of these is a vastly superior way to spend your Tuesday night than watching that lying sack of shit

I guess 2:15-ish is a reasonable mark for a drama or action movie (The Matrix and The Hunt for Red October both come in around this time, for example), When Harry Met Sally is a flawless 96 minutes, Moonstruck 102.

I don't even like it when good movies run substantially longer than two hours

Best albums over 2 hours: The Clash - Sandinista Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II OutKast - Speakerboxx/The Love Below The Beach Boys - The Smile Sessions Shout out to birthday boy (tomorrow) George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

You can really tell when a man is horrified that he might have to endure the routine indignities suffered by a woman

Heading to bed shortly but my earnest take on the SOTU is that it's going to be depressingly ugly, hateful, vengeful, and bullying, and you do not need to subject yourself to that.

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. that’s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline here—and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isn’t acceptable.

Help out the Somerville Fire Department and get a free ice cream cone!! Shovel out the fire hydrant in front of your house, take a picture and then come into Gracie’s (whenever we’re open next) for a free cone.

Scoop: As Bari Weiss works to recruit high-wattage stars to CBS News, she's dangling lucrative contracts in front of potential hires. They're still turning her down. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

lollll they are using my arch nemeses to block the street

This is the correct call. Perhaps the only better one would be to wait for him to begin and then walk out

Anyone on here seen Super Troopers, specifically the credits

leftists are also often susceptible to this! you think your political analysis is very clever young man but it's gender all the way down.

Platner getting the support of the centrist Obama guys is 100 percent Gender. big man is working class, authentic, honest. (never mind that his family is rich and he supplies his mom's restaurants.)

the rules are clear: Ryan Coogler gets to keep shooting until he misses

Remember, this guy then killed an MIT professor while they were stumbling to catch up

Two fun details: 1. In many PA counties, and I believe Berks is one, the initial bail decision is made JUST by the police (who are a party here) and a magistrate judge. That can hold for up to 2 weeks. 2. I just learned that magistrate judges need no legal education and get four weeks of training.

this works with 65 cem of snow we got in Toronto when quick fast no stra makes a better Giant snow ball to Through at you ahahahahha I'ts like :Think Fast:" GIRLS keep up lololol

Sadly, this fits with the larger MAGA view that women are exploitable and expendable—that their lives have value only in service of men.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I just see the whole snow removal thing as a micocrosm of the utter selfishness of drivers, and in particular their inability to take the appropriate responsibility that comes with operating a multi-ton vehicle.

In addition to enforcement, I think this is one of those things that needs to be totally shamed. Like, when that person got to their destination I hope someone gave them an earful about what a selfish asshole they are.

Are you fucking kidding me. This should be an instant license suspension.

After all these years there are people who think he's just one speech away from really becoming Presidential.

Men on this site, always showing off their equipment.

this is lovely

people that want points too bad scare me... they always putting their number in at the register ... maam... this is a criminal enterprise ... you cannot put your number in

True Winter Mode is having an arsenal of shovels with different strengths to deploy based on conditions.

One of Bernie Sander’s biggest achievements in Burlington VT is that he began sidewalk plowing, which remains. I wish he would talk about that more.

For all my shoveling stalwarts.

Quick Reference.

Out clearing the crosswalk again after it got plowed back in and in 15 minutes of shoveling saw two people go by with phones in their hands and one trying to clean his sunglasses while driving. Hi-vis won't fix that.

Let me remind you about something: YOU DESERVE AN ICE CREAM CONE!!!

I disagree: it was a *decentralized* conspiracy motivated by class and gender interests of which Epstein was a part but certainly not the main mover. No-one was.

Nice light in the garden right now I’ve been working on this area bc my wife’s out of town and this is the part of the garden she sees easily from her bath so i thought it’d be nice to spruce it up for when she gets back

Saying it again: Winter lays bare all the ways our communities fail those not in cars. This is especially true if you are disabled. If accessibility disappears under a pile of snow, then a place was never really accessible to begin with.

🚨 New Independent Assessment 👇 COVID’s origins: what we do and don’t know www.nature.com/articles/d41... via @nature.com "...we determined that most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 has a zoonotic origin, meaning that it came from an animal."

One thing I hope people recognize and understand about snow removal on days like today: people who are responsible for taking care of crosswalks may be doing their best and getting repeatedly plowed back in by snowplows.
