σωφροσύνη (sophrosyne)

And, his paintings are of mysteries that deepen.

That mustard and onions smell... it smells like.... embarrassment...

I don't understand how the prosecution ever thought they would be anything but ridiculed over this case. If I was a juror I would absolutely not be able to keep a straight face.

Whatever therapy this guy is getting he needs to upgrade to a higher level of intensive-ness.

To paraphrase something another Bluesky-er said. These guys don't want women, they want to endlessly critique women.

I could not be on this jury because I would not be able to keep a straight face during the prosecution's case.

Why on earth would you do that?

I love this album, and this song!

This is the album that made me into a devoted Tom Waits fan even though I was introduced to him via "The Heart of Saturday Night."

My mother did something like this to me after I got in my first serious relationship. This is manipulation, and it will only get worse.

I do not envy what this woman is going through as she is learning who her mother really is.

Someone should file a lawsuit that Republicans have abandoned their office by not calling the House into session. Turnabout is fair play.

The human ability to recognize symbols as communication is our greatest strength and our undoing.

I can see room for synergy here... he's probably into her because she fucks like a couch.

Your protests that this is not a joke would be funnier if you called yourself a fascist dictator.

Like what kind of communist dictator has strong thoughts about Xmas? LOL!!

You must not have mentioned the tomato seed incident, yet. Deep breathes, there is still time...

How much and why ACA Marketplace premiums are going up in 2026 - Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker Health insurers submit rate filings annually to state regulators detailing expectations and rate changes for Affordable Care Act (ACA)-regulated health plans for the coming year.

There is going to be a lot of sticker shock on Ind ACA plans next year. The Trump Admin could do a lot to mitigate it, but it looks like they've decided not to....just breaking more things with no real fixes.

Seconding all this, you don't like what's served to you, then cook for yourself. He should be grateful there is someone there willing to cook for him at all.

I've seen this painting at the Menil Collection in Houston. It's incredible and seems like a departure from earlier work. The drawing of the figure where they seem to fade/blend with the background is ingenious. I feel like I learn something every time I see a Basquiat.

Another crisis of the administration's making with a less-than-what-was-before outcome for the American people.

You misspelled "grifting" in this skeet.

When you see the word "Advantage" in any health insurance product name it means a narrower network, i. e. fewer provider options.

I watched John Oliver's show on Medicare Advantage, and I have two thoughts.
1.)Any time you see "advantage" in a health insurance product it means a narrower network, i. e. fewer provider options.

He's an incredible journalist of the highest integrity so obviously Bari Weiss forces him out.

I'm so glad to hear others enjoyed it! Noah Hawley knows how to tell good stories.

"I was just following orders" is the defense all of the Nazis used during the Nuremberg trials.

Well, I can see why he's getting divorced.
