Turns out that if you don't have a backbone you'll bow to pressure from anyone, that's for everyone to note down

I've asked to speak to a manager upstairs bc why am I even at work if I'm never gonna see this paycheck?

Public defender question. Biomom has been in county lockup for 3 weeks and it sounds like her prior court appointed lawyer no longer works for that county. To our knowledge, a new one has not been assigned. I've got a list of the public defenders, is there a way to get her help filling out forms?

So many crazy details in Ben Terris's story about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together: nymag.com/intelligence...

"Pain only hurts." King shit.

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Have a few pairs of old clothes I need to get rid of. Half tempted to just leave them laying around town tonight and seeing if anyone calls the news about the rapture.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

oh ok so the corrupt crypto economy doesn’t work, lesson learned glad that’s not happening elsewhere…uh oh

My MLB improvement opinion is that every MLB team should play at home during the week against non MLB teams, then on the weekends you get your Friday/Saturday/Sunday series that always have the aces on the mound. During the week you play Triple A, international teams, etc to grow the sport.

Hear me out. We let college football be whatever it wants to be conference wise. But then every other sport plays in local promotion and relegation leagues. Sam Houston wants to spend 10 mil a year on baseball, awesome they get to play UT & Rice in the top TX conf. SFA pours money into WBB? Same.

less expensive (save tens of thousands of dollars) faster under 3 miles fun unlike EVs - electric cargo bikes are actually sustainable

I half think that even if a billionaire tax leads ultra-wealthy people to flee the country, it's probably still good on net. leaves them less able to buy the political system

Absolutely 100% this. If they give up citizenship (which is what they have to do in the US to stop paying taxes) we also win.

Great job, everyone who voted for and supported the law that gave the President the power to unilaterally declare who gets to own a social media platform

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

if you dedicated your whole life to the end times and it isn't here yet you might be entitled to compensation

got a FastPass like at Disney World

My only rapture take is that there seems to be a strong correlation between age and how imminent an evangelical believes the rapture/end times are. Like buddy, you are 87, your rapture probably is coming up soon.

Me the night before the rapture

Prior to 05, he was one of the planet's most feared assassins.

Rode in my father in laws new work truck this weekend and my goodness, I felt like the hood was level with the top of my Forester. It's not even lifted, if anything it sits a little lower bc of the toolboxes and lift gate he has on it.

It's really hard to top Frederick Douglass's commentary on the Preliminary Emancipation, issued #otd in 1862.

I still think back to mid 2020, more than half a decade ago, when I can still vividly recall thinking: this experience— which is turbo charging and front loading every awful thing about life in this country and its politics — will either force us to confront them and perhaps fix some things or…

1/ Five days after the Battle of Antietam, #otd in 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. In areas in rebellion against the US as of Jan. 1, 1863, Lincoln announced, "all persons held as slaves ... shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." 🗃️

We were picking up a Target order yesterday and they were bringing out someone else's order at the same time with a car seat. K: "come back! We need that car seat for my baby J" I fully expect Texas to screw us over next week and it's going to break his heart.

"Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?"

I ate a Texas-shaped waffle for breakfast today, you can't tell me nothing!* *You can tell anything. Way too much sugar for me! I'm riding a high that will crash into a low protein spiral right in time for a meeting! TELL ME ANYTHING

This isn't true at all about his origin as far as I can tell.

Harrison Butker too far to the right again huh

This is exactly backwards. From the beginning, Kirk was the beneficiary of a large and highly organized network of dark money donors who were looking for a spokesman. No way he would have done what he did without patrons like Montgomery and Uihlein. Kirk didn't make money - money made Kirk.

I know some of y'all are doing important work reporting on the heresy going on at the funeral rally, but I think it's time for me to log off for the afternoon.

Posts claim Charlie Kirk once introduced Kyle Rittenhouse as "a hero to millions." That's true. ✅ www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

Charlie obviously saw it exactly opposite, that organized religion would deliver you to GOP politics and that once you tied the two together, you'd never abandon the party.
