When I was on SNAP there was a threat of legal action if I lied to get it. If he uses the contingency fund to feed babies, and accidentally feeds a rich fart, then he can recoup the funds.

But THAT WON'T HAPPEN! Because the contingency funds would be paid out to existing, screened, poor people.

Michael @mspopok.bsky.social [interviewing @annabower.bsky.social about Lindsey Halligan]: Why did you decide to publish now?

Anna Bower: [many research reasons and] I wasn't sure she was done talking to me yet.

And now I have to wash the toothpaste off the mirror.😁😆

You can use your own music to drown out theirs. If your music is wordless it can even not disturb your reading. I recommend music with reed instruments: bagpipes, gagaku, hurdygurdy, New Orleans jazz clarinet, or bebop saxophone.

As revenge: dawn tree pruning with all the chainsaws.

I really didn't think Manchin could make me angrier. But apparently, all he needs to do is write a book, and open his snakey 🐍 mouth.

I had a not quite MAGA friend who is sure Antifa is real, with oodles of money.

I pointed out that if it collected money it would have a 501.c.? designation, depending if it were political, or educational, for tax purposes.

Show me the antifa group with 501.c.? I usually donate to 501.c.3 groups..

@andymccabe.bsky.social pronounces "disembling" (a sideways sort of lie) as "disassembling". In the context of justice: yikes! I thought I was mean!🙀

So sad that so many commenter are learning about punk pipes today. I'm here to say punk folk! (Alien Weaponry, Massive Scar Era, so many many punk folks! Go listen! Your lives will be better for it!)

BUNNY!

Typical Spring Seattle weather. Sudden intense shower of rain.

It's always a good morning when my first Google search is "when does the stock market automatically stop trading?"

@npr.org Trump was not "elected" to the Kennedy Center's board. He appointed himself autocratically, as you previously reported.

Store applesauce is too sweet. So I make my own. But even the tart apples available in stores are too sweet, so I add apple cider vinegar to the apples while they stew. It adds a sharpness. This time I was thinking balsamic vinegar would add some umami. I'll let you know how it goes.

Indeed. We've invaded Panama twice before, both times were an unrivalled success! (I refer to digging the canal, a diplomatic debauching. Ask Nicaragua. And the operation to get Manuel Noriega.)

I am from the PNW, and the land of hops. I was truly concerned for my northern neighbors! 🍻 If you like hops, I recommend Laguinita's Hop Stupid. They're unfortunately from California, but their beer is good despite that. I also recognize that you will have to wait for America to get smart🤞🏻#4yrs.

Rent is what you do from Blockbuster or your landlord. Borrow is what you do from a public institution, or a close friend. Otherwise an excellent reminder. If you don't have time to read: hugs, that sounds awful.

I was coming into the comments to say: I don't drink a lot of beer, but I recognize all these brews. Does Canada not have small local superior beers?

3/3 second, is it possible that the poor editing on the Stonewall website is a two-part process. First the boss saying do the thing. Second this a subversive worker saying sure but I'll do it badly because it's a bad job?

2/3 At work, I was able to lightly filter Fox News through a co-worker. Apparently, that are elderly gay people believing that the BTQI+ part of the community are scaffolding their civil rights onto the LG civil rights. And that they should fight for their own. Clearly wrong: a minority belief held🤢

I was listening to this episode, and you're correct confusion about removing the letters from the Stonewall moment led me to think two things. 1/3

You know that legend that the National Anthem was a sobriety test? If you could sing it, you weren't to drink to be in public? The drunk guy on the bus is doing pretty well at singing it!

@msnbc.com please correct your style guide. The waters are "uncharted", suggesting no one drew the map yet. The waters are NOT "unchartered" suggesting no one wrote the laws yet.

One of the tech-broligarchy arrived at the necessity of their masculine ascendancy after an in depth exploration of martial arts.

To which I say: either the study was not in depth, or you didn't study it at all. Japanese martial arts are riddled with: women.

Today, @npr.org summarized Trump's plans as "a brief break from preparing to be president to attend his sentencing hearing." In the category of #thereIfixeditforyou, it should be "a brief break from spouting unhelpful, even harmful, bullshit about the LA fires to attend his sentencing hearing".

Disbar Judge Canon.

I looked it up it is a thing.

(It won't be done.)

In case you feel crazy: the Supreme Court is wrong. I hope this helps you feel "better".

Indeed. I believe it is because amendments after the first two, and occasionally the first ten are imaginary.

Not even as a rough draft!

I'm listening to @muellershewrote.bsky.social and @libradunn1.bsky.social read the latest filing from Giuliani's new lawyer.

I can hear my AP English teacher saying: know what your objective is.

And my parents (proofreaders) shouting SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT.

This filing won't pass AP English. 1/2

Every so often I think I should travel. Seeing new places is fun! (Last time I flew was before 9/11.) Then I wake up today and see that American Airlines has grounded all flights on Christmas Eve, and I think staying home is where it is at!

Also, if you had an AA flight today: 🙀😿 hugs.

Mmmmm. Make hot cocoa, but use egg nog instead of milk!
