I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

A lot of choices being made by reporters who hear β€œquiet piggy” and just clam up or continue asking different questions like that didn’t just happen.

Return to Oz had Ozma but not as originally written. This video of a stage play is true to the original story. But a bit painful to watch in certain places.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

3 categories of comments:

1. I don't like (main ingredient), so I used x instead. (Why, then, did you choose this recipe?)

2. I decided to randomly swap out x, y, & z for a, b, & c. It was awful. (Uh, duh?)

3. It was terrific! I only made these 14 changes. (Bitch, please. Write your own recipe.)

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I've had butter on hard-boiled eggs (my mom used to do it when I was a kid), and it's actually pretty tasty. BUT, the egg needs to still be warm, or it just doesn't work.

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 appreciatesβ€” 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."

I used pumpkin eggnog instead of cream in my home-blended/brewed coffee (Guatemalan/PNG blend) this morning. Tastes like a pumpkin spice latte, but better than any I've ever had at a coffee shop. And pennies per cup instead of $6+

Suck it, Starbucks.

jk, I don't drink their burnt tasting swill. πŸ˜‚

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

The Mamdani Era Begins His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayorβ€”they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

"Mamdani won with higher turnout than in any mayor’s race in fifty years. . .When leading figures in the Democratic Party seem practically complicit in the abuses & outrages of the Trump era, Mamdani offered an unsullied message of hope. He emphasized the similarities between Trump, Cuomo, & Adams."

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.

That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
