I was confused at first but then I realized this is Instance #435 where I have confused Brie Larson and Allison Brie.

(Their fusion form would be called Lison Brie Larson)

WHY DOES THE TUNE WORK TOO

THE ROOMMATES ARE NOW VROOMMATES

HELL YEAH

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Fubar Party might get more in-roads w/soured GOP, but not an equal trade-off.

Only way a 3rd party could quickly spin up is if it's led by well-known(+liked) pols & the 1st public members included dozens of well-known(+liked) public figures

Except that's a party built from the top, sooooo... nah

I've thought long abt overthrow vs fresh start, this sums up why overthrow is the most "realistic".

One add'l issue is recognition: "Fubar Party" just gets stares, but "Dem" instead makes a lot of connections. Might not be good ones, but overall will have better access to ppl vs a new party.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

All of those are not up for re-election until at least 2028 or are retiring. These are not pols breaking ranks, it was coordinated by Dem leadership; absolutely fuck Schumer and these folks, but anyone who didn't clearly object is also suspect (and even many of those who did may be in on the plan.)

swingsets are neat but will it include slides too

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

All Democrats had to do was NOTHING and they still somehow failed.

Leave it to Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

divergentcoachkelly on Threads * 2h ADHD is knowing exactly what you need to do then watching yourself not do it like you're a scientist observing a very dumb experiment

10/10 take. No notes.

graphic in the mamdani font/colors saying: CALL YOUR SENATORS and TELL THEM NO SHUTDOWN DEAL WITHOUT ACA FUNDING 202-224-3121

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

4chan, something awful, etc.

This right here.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

STOP having "conversations" with ChatGPT and START talking to your stuffed animals like a normal person

"ask how the customer’s day is going"

This will only make me boycott harder. If I'm there it's to pick up cheese, some towels, and "digestive" medication, none of which requires human interaction and no one there should perceive me unless absolutely necessary.

Part of Tom Clancy's Executive Orders is having to re-build Congress; Pres. Ryan calls on voters to send doctors, farmers, etc. instead of pols

One small para has stuck w/me: ex-VP complaining abt a new Rep who meets w/only 1 lobbyist/day for only 15 min (w/timer)

Maybe such a world *is* possible

I would shout the praises of G502/602 xcept their click mechs have *NO* durability. Had 3x G602s ("fixed" 2 of them) & gave up, avg life 18 mo.

I have a >10yr MX Laser that works better. Very sad cause everything else about them is great.

Now I can only recommend for ppl as a 2nd, "gaming" mouse.

For "precision": Logi G502 Proteus Spectrum. Works great but, after 3x G602s, I know its switches have horrible life & can't be my main mouse.

My main mouse is a Redragon Impact Elite M913. I have my complaints but, ~5yr later, it still works well. Best price/feature balance for an "MMO" mouse, IMO

Absolutely agree to use DDG over Google, but DDG will also do "loose"/"autocorrect" searches and I wish it also had this option so it would search only for what I typed first, offering the "intended" alternative at the top instead.
