Mad Skills.

If Trump were to "convince" the Fed to dramatically lower interest rates, what would be the effect on the economy?

Books are not the only thing you can check out from a library. They have all kinds of cool and useful stuff, like tools.

If you love books but don't feel like leaving the house sometimes (or a lot), you can check out digital books in your pajamas from bed.

Libraries and librarians are the best!

This is like Idiocracy from the Star Trek mirror universe where everyone is evil

Sorry for not texting you back I was obsessing about tragedies I’m powerless to change

If you're in DC and want to abuse federal agents w/o spending 5 years inside for assault with a sandwich, here's a perfectly legal letter you can give them when they come near you. It explains what they're doing to their children, so it's even helpful.

Surely being honest with voters is a doomed strategy.

Picture from a cartoon. A blind cartoon fox wearing worn clothes and holding a begging cup. The text states "please sir, may I have a crumb of context."

The worst were those who would tell the potential client that I could achieve a certain result, that I could not achieve.

Two potential uses.

1. Put it in your conference room or waiting area to impress your clients.

2. Leave it for future archeologists, who can extract the DNA from the verdict, allowing them to clone the verdict for future generations.

This seems even more timely this week.

Once again, @bestofdyingtwit.bsky.social delivers.

A two-panel comic titled “ADHD Paralysis.” The top panel, labeled “Looks Like,” shows a simple white character lying sideways on a blue couch, staring at their phone with a neutral expression. The room is messy, with clothes, books, mugs, and a backpack scattered around. A thought bubble says, “Whatever, I don’t care if it’s clean.” The bottom panel, labeled “Feels Like,” shows the same image, but the background is overlaid with a large block of cluttered, anxious inner monologue text about wanting to clean but feeling overwhelmed, guilty, and stuck. The text reflects racing thoughts, procrastination, and self-criticism.

It took me a long time to realize that not everyone has to argue/negotiate/shame their brain into doing routine household tasks.

Even Turkey Man would be a better choice...

Forever team chaotic good. Be chaos. Do it for good

Just noting that if you live in DC and you’re called to grand jury and get a case that involves this fascist take over, there is a thing you can do called no true bill and the case is dismissed. And if you get on a petit jury there is a thing called jury nullification and it’s pretty cool too.

My entire career has been focused on reducing crime through supporting upstream interventions and preventions. More law enforcement is not the answer to curbing crime and making communities safe. A strong social safety net, housing, economic opportunity, etc are.

The Most Bizarre POW Camp During WWII – Curragh - For the Life of Me A World War II Canadian bomber crew crash lands into friendly territory -- but quickly becomes some of the most unlikely Prisoners of War ever.

A Britcom like 'allo 'allo would be brilliant.

The Irish Republic was officially neutral during WW 2. At least at the beginning of the war, pilots who crashed in Ireland were interned for the duration of the war in adjacent camps, but had a great deal of freedom.

Great comedy potential.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Jacket sleeves with the tag left on. I watched men wearing tan shoes with navy suits in the dark near the Watergate hotel. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears of homeless children left in rain.

Fake Lego set containing otters drinking beers in front of a pub.

Test post.

That's Mordor

Human Resources would probably take a dim view of that. 😆

I have a coworker who gets all wound up about something and will come into my office to tell me the Tale of Horror.

There is no point in interrupting her to tell her how you want to handle the issue.

Once she finishes the Tale of Horror, she will listen to what you say.

Your lawyer is not your therapist. They charge WAY more per hour and are not covered by insurance.

Popehat nails the practice of law.

Yes they do...

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.
