This needs a NSFL tag.

And RIP to the camera person’s eyes. Surely they were blinded by the glare.

I thought for sure this was from The Onion. What a clusterfuck.

If the car in question is a Tesla in “self-driving” mode 👨‍🍳🤌💋

Yes! Louder 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 people 👏🏾 in 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 back 👏🏾

They were too quick to try and fundraise off of the loss but they’re too busy to take action? Fuck these clowns.

Even carpenters and masons need geometry

We can’t even manage to keep listeria out of our waffles and deli meats snd have e coli onions but sure, raw milk will be no problem.

If I mange to get fired for doomscrolling instead of working, I’d be free. But I really should get back to work now … 😞

I think it’s treated as a crisis because the economic charts always need to go up. Infinite growth requires people.

Women is probably fine to use when the ages can be gleaned from context. You can also make the noun non gendered and use female as a adjective like “female students” or “female patients”

Yeah. This is in a city where the police abandoned a police station because they were forbidden to use tear gas on peaceful protesters in the area. In a densely populated residential area where people were complaining about the gas getting into their apartments. They tried to say the protesters were violent and using incendiary devices which turned out to be prayer candles.

No wonder they can’t solve any crimes. They can’t even read the fucking room.

My understanding is that Trump did not outperform his 2020 returns and Harris did not outperform Biden’s 2020 returns. We didn’t get more Trump voters than pat elections, we just got fewer Democratic voters. Why was Democratic turnout so bad? Was it really because Harris was too liberal? I haven’t seen any evidence of that. I suspect that it’s because Harris isn’t very charismatic (compared to candidates like Obama or Bill Clinton). I also suspect that turnout was low because Harris was talking more about maintaining the status quo instead of talking about change. If she was more liberal then maybe more of the base would be motivated to turn out? IDK but I’m sure there will be a million think pieces on the topic 😔

I was driving the other day and saw a notification for a “Blue alert”. I never heard of one before. Turns out it’s like how we have “Amber alert “ for missing kids and “sliver alerts” for missing seniors, a “blue alert” is for someone who may be a threat to law enforcement officers. Why do we need a special alert for criminals that harm cops? Why are cops prioritized over everyone else?

With 1st past the post and all of the power wielded by the 2 major parties, it is basically two options, which sucks. But we have had this system for a really long time and the major parties know it and support it, so they ought to be able to navigate it (it they and sincere and competent).

So even though I absolutely disagree with leftists who vote for anyone other than the Democratic candidate in the general election, I share their frustration with the DNC who waste resources trying to flip moderate Republicans instead of energizing the base and courting the left. Hillary Clinton was actually rude and dismissive of the left. And the party stance seems to be “bend over backwards for moderate Republicans but harangue and hector leftists for not being enthused and for not turning out to accept whatever corporate scraps they’re given”.

I, like most Democratic voters are well to the left of the candidates and the party. I suspect that they keep moving to the right to keep the donors happy. I guess they’re trying to thread the needle between donors and the base, but they are not winning enough so whatever they’re doing is shit. I’d say that they’re over indexing on donors but part of why Clinton took over in 2016 is because the DNC was broke and needed someone to come in with big donors and make them solvent.

Lemme finish this sloppy rant by saying that I’m also super frustrated with anyone who isn’t voting - especially young people and people on the left. We can say that we’ll vote if they give us something to vote for, but there isn’t much evidence to support that assertion.

Around half of us are just as (or more) upset about it as you. Our cold civil war has been getting warmer and life will get much worse for many of us. Just wanted to drop that reminder since some of us may end up as refugees trying to escape to saner countries.

During the Trump administration, every morning I’d wake up with vague existential dread, picking up my phone thinking “what now?” And every morning there would be some new shameful low. It was awful.

All of the above plus: allergy covers for pillows and mattress, nasal irrigation with a neti pot or squeeze bottle (they sell the nasal rinse bottles and saline mix near the allergy medicine at the pharmacy), bathing your dog frequently . An allergist will have a really specific list of recommendations. Making your dog an outside dog is a terrible idea, it would be better to find a new home for your pup, rather than exposing them to the elements and leaving them outside all alone with no companionship

OMG. This kid is looking right at her.

SHS smiles like an alien who doesn’t understand human emotions.

Pretty sure it is right in the face of the Trump hotel there.

I was wondering what subscription should replace my recently canceled WaPo subscription. I just signed up for the Boston Globe. 🎉
