All the time.

I did a little shoulder shimmy in my chair.

I need someone to explain to me, can’t this bill be filibustered??

Plenty of Americans with bad teeth. We just don’t put them on television.

Is the filibuster not an option here?

Kinda want there to be an investigation as to whether his Nannies are being paid a fair wage and there of their own free will.

Please grow a spine. Trumps has already telegraphed that he’s going to use DHS to interfere in the elections. You could stop this now…. But you won’t.

This is my only critique of the show. Not having them dance at some point was a real missed opportunity.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

a good day to tap this sign!

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

I’m a Democrat and I don’t want any of that. I want ICE gone!

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE:
Renee Good: $1,499,580
Alex Pretti: $1,289,249
Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423
Parady La: $45,848
Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991
Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640
Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538
Geraldo Lunas: $2,260
Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

A generational ice storm is about to kill a lot of people and break a lot of infrastructure because our forecast and response agencies are gutted and our current administration does not care about scientific agencies nor relief agencies nor people nor infrastructure.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

It’s got to be a general strike. The only non-violent way to thoroughly resist. I know they are hard to organize, but this situation is spiraling quickly, thanks to Trump.

crazy that there is just a blatant nazi military takeover of the country going on right now and democrats can barely be bothered to denounce it

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Clip on mics don’t need to be as close, but they work substantially better if you use your outside voice and if you clip them as close to the center of your chest as possible. If you have to pick a side, pick the side where your slides are since you will look that direction more.

The most common type of handheld, podium, or tabletop mic at these events requires close proximity (1-5 inches) to your mouth.

If you hear feedback it’s either because you are not speaking loudly enough or close enough to the mic and your sound person is trying to turn you up, or you are standing under or directly in front of a speaker. Fix either of those issues and you will be fine.

Use the mic, so that if the session is being recorded you will be on the recording. Use the mic because the mic feeds the hearing assist system if there is one. Use the mic to set an example so when your audience has questions they also use the mic.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

Really American FB

Ever since the Upside Down Turkey Incident of 2019, husband and I stand in front of the bird and verbally confirm with each other that we both believe the turkey is right side up.

(It looked weird but tasted fine)

You only mistake cumin for cinnamon once.

Exciting list

also, Spotify doesn't pay royalties at all for tracks with less than a thousand streams.

and sometimes if an album gets a sudden surge of fan interest, Spotify deems it "unusual listening activity" and just removes the album, as happened to my last EP.

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.
