Maybe I’m old.
Maybe this is Biden fault.
But 6.50 for one taco is too much.

It's sort of food gentrification, right?

Trump’s team’s cross of Cohen is NOT going well…for them.

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered absurd that Christo-Fascists wanted to pretend that a fetus is a person. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53721526313_252700085a_z.jpg It’s sure a good thing for us, then, that the 14th Amendment doesn’t in fact seem to have any legal effect at t...

It’s Schrödinger’s Pandemic: it didn’t exist at all (as something Trump bungled), but also it is why Trump is blameless for his own disastrous economic and tax policies.

We're also only now truly digesting what a disaster Covid was for development, of both "soft" and "hard" skills. The entire cohort of lawyers who had 0-4 years of experience going into Covid are now grossly overpaid (and thus their rates way out of whack) with reference to their ...

Ravens and Bengals (both at home) is a hell of a way to start the season. Go 2-0 there and you're in complete control of the race for the #1 seed - which (based on last year) is very very very obviously something that is quite important to get. You can't at all otherwise count on being in that sweet...

This.

Even if you're lucky enough to work in a field or for a company that you love.

Lord knows it's hard enough when you do.

I posted this on Link’dIn, where most in my network are in the boat business: “One thing that has become crystal clear for me these past few years: in the marine industry, no one seems to be truly interested in curing their ills. Despite having survived significant challenges, many veterans are bei...

While the GOP pols who see fit to kiss the ring are a dubious collection of easily mocked figures, watching the “law and order” and “faith-based” party kneel before a criminal defendant in a case involving a porn star no less is another marker of how far things have fallen. https://x.com/tpm_dk/sta...

Incorporating the relevant context, this is /endthread stuff. 🚨NEWS — @SpeakerJohnson is expected at the courthouse in NYC this morning in support of former President Donald Trump. https://x.com/jakesherman/status/1790345005997199606?s=46&t=rVFZGOeA5P9Lq_-8Yt1KMA He's a Republican, why would we...

Where's the Politics forum "Petri dish" thread? With no alternatives, I guess our future is going to be replete with heretofore preventable infectious disease outbreaks. I'm retired, and even I never saw a case of diphtheria or tetanus. Lord help us, because when this becomes the law of t...

If only there was an alternative to the banning of hormone-based contraceptives: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53719774929_02eb21b742_z.jpg Hmm, Mississippi happens (it appears anyway) to have the highest F:M ratio in the United States. Maybe some enterprising distaff Mississippians should, i...

Ousy's hook up could have been worse. https://twitter.com/Morbidful/status/1789612368625860737 Is she wearing his underwear over her face? So, for a time I lived (with a roommate, Rob, from South Dakota) in a condo near the U's West Bank campus. Rob would go home some weekends, where his parents wo...

Louisiana moves to make abortion pills ‘controlled dangerous substances’ Someone possessing the pills without a valid prescription or outside of professional practice could be prosecuted and sentenced to prison. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05/13/abortion-pills-louisiana-controlled-su...

Serious question: Is it better to be an activist, or to be a protestor? Consider how those in power do really nothing to earn our votes, but are trying so doggedly to counter these protests. Trying to decide if that says something about where we should concentrate our political energy. Making absol...

The act and meaning behind it in good faith is very logical.

And believe me I'd rather not get nickeled and dimed for every cup, tube and bandage. But, take it to the Pols bored!

Not being scanned and treated like a product for insanely marked up services instead of a patient? I prefer the alternative but perhaps it's just me. I assume that there is significant benefit to me, to know what was done to me, and when, and by whom. Sure beats getting the wrong treatment or medic...

It is demeaning.

Seems better than the alternative.

Bob here is big mad . God damn it, Joe, why can't you get supporters of an insurrectionist to fall in line??? BIDEN FAILS Remember President Joe Biden’s claim that he was going to unify America? When does he plan on starting? More Biden lack of leadership on full display. This guy is a total disaste...
