It takes discipline, insight into the mind of the authoritarian, and a sense of humor to lay a protective barrier between your community & federal agents trying to start a riot by wearing a unicorn costume. We will win.

Mr Johnson was chill about incompetence most of the time (ask me how I know) but he got REAL snappy when the national anthem resulted in the crowd laughing during the salute to the flag

authentic patriot, will def be standing up for democracy 10/18 if he's able, doesn't approve of Trumpism one bit

👆 most GenX 'drank from the garden hose' post ever, someone is trying to find out the statute of limitations for child abuse in Ohio right now

(we survived being yelled at when we were lazy & failed to meet expectations AND this taught us to be lazy in less conspicuous ways, valuable life lesson)

I won't be in my hometown in Ohio on 10/18, dammit; I bet the high school band director who taught me to play the tuba has one I could borrow

he'd probably want to come along (Vietnam vet who once broke a baton & threw it at us when we hadn't practiced & bass of Star Spangled Banner sounded awful)

It’s hard to believe that Portland does not have four sousaphone players who can lay down the Star Wars Imperial March to get everyone in inflatable suits on the same foot when they step off, waiting for this

What an embarrassment to Kansas. April’s No Kings demonstration in Wichita featured aircraft assembly union leaders, farmers & students. If anyone got a check they kept it pretty quiet from the rest of us!

It’s hard to know what happened given how the Nazis used it, but his landlord was in a dispute with him about back rent, he got shot, when he died 5 weeks later, all of a sudden it was a Communist plot to assassinate him

I’m sticking with “by poorly educated communists” because it’s funnier.

* hoppening

Looking forward to the new animated series Frog & Chicken, about two lil inflatable buddies just running around Portland shaking their stuff at bullies.

My point is, while they were members of the communist party, they were shitty communists

they took money from a landlord to kick a guy out for unpaid rent

In a fight over his unpaid rent, also known as an eviction that went terribly wrong, but OK

Didn’t he already slap a tariff on ikea kitchens

That’s a beret

A duvet is like a pudding but it’s inflated so it’s real tall in the oven and you have to eat it fast

I sure hope not

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I…didn’t know that was a thing

The not qualifying for the DX

BRB need to tell my kid I learned something on the it erbet

What do you mean "possible rise," dude is at the top of the pack. He is the literal pope

I actually tried to look up what the stats are; due to a lot of data about recent abortion bans its hard to know that, but:

I assume that the population you’re sampling from is quite different in that comparison group, and that might explain differences at the group level better than a narrative

also, with his physical health (goes offline for 5 days every 28 days, I'm not qualified to DX that but it ain't nothing, the timing has been bad optics) why would you assume he's going to be able to issue pardons when his term ends uneventfully on 1/20/29, that seems...like a bet I would not make

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

you can say anything on this app, I guess

that's a skill issue and why you are printing it in a newspaper is mysterious

but if you don't claim primary residence OR rental income, the risk is being priced appropriately, and this indictment doesn't allege that she did either one

to defraud the bank, she had to take something (additional fees) by deception, but they don't allege a deception that changed the rate?

You pay least for a mortgage on your home b/c risk is low; if you lose your job, you still need a place to live, you'll likely find the money
2nd home has higher risk to lender
Rental property loan may use the rental income as part of your claimed income to qualify, that's another form of risk
