He’s in luck, there’s a little shark that will do that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookiec...

They’re waiting for the mashiach, right? comparing 11/4 precinct voting maps of W’burg to the primary’s will be interesting.

Coe is Beaker. Catherine is Camilla. Shirley is Lew Zealand. Pops Cartwright is either Statler or Waldorf.

My guess is a subslice of upper-class WASPS (not all WASPs lol), who are very, very concerned with bloodlines and inheritances, are the one subculture that adamantly doesn’t call relatives or friends by the “wrong” family title.

Enough of them realized that this country would collapse in hours if the price of coffee went too high.

the “aunt” thing is solid proof that he’s clean as a whistle. There is utterly nothing they could find on him. Even Obama smoked!

meee toooo. it haunts me. at the same time, I admire AOC’s ability to ask that question and get honest answers. That whole episode should be the subject of some CUNY polisci student’s grad thesis.

When being overly precious about Greek etymology goes sideways.

it’s weird how many people think eggs are “dairy.” Eggs are pareve!

How does he feel about canal narrowboats? there are a couple of narrowboat shows on Prime, probably on youtube too.

I think the Bluesky community established that Janice is an anti-vaxxer, so her too.

We’re not trying to take away his oyster farm here.

Look, Drew, if you know you better tell us now. 🎃

Not at all the main issue here, but wouldn’t a bit of black electrical tape over the light do the job? Whoever invented the $60 hack is grifting the creeps.

None of that crap is real gold. But I agree with you that he is absolutely going to steal a bunch of WH artifacts on his way out.

I was a news-reading adult at the time, and he absolutely did. Trump has shifted the dumbassness scale significantly, but Bush appointed some real ding dongs.

A cursory check on US flight schools would have caught like 1/2 of the hijackers. I have no idea who Gore wouldve appointed for nat’l security, but certainly not the chucklefucks GWB did.

it’s a direct quote. I didn’t pick it up at first either because it’s been decades since I saw it, but @omniart.bsky.social reminded me when we spotted the sign.

He’d probably still order some kind of military action against AQ, but not the shitshows we got. And as you said, absolutely not Iraq.

A millenial lady. Which made sense for being a Mean Girls reference.

Genuinely the moment in US (and to a significant extent, world) history in my own lifetime where shit went deeply, deeply wrong. If you believe, as I do, that a Gore admin would’ve likely prevented 9/11, then even more so.

I take it you’ve tested out your strozzaprieti with local priests, with no success. btw I agree that linguine is superior to spaghetti.

it’s more of a state of mind accompanying the state of nudity.

I’ve had trenne at a restaurant in seattle. pretty good.

not the biggest fan. my top 3 are probably linguine, penne rigate, and orzo, for different sauces or preparations.

Chew is important! It’s why I don’t like farfalle (I used to, for the novelty and the joy, to which you introduced me, of yelling “BOWTIES!”): undercooked center, overcooked edges.

NYPD know not to fuck with Coco Canal. Where are their wives gonna get fake designer bags??

I’m a bucatini hater. I like short tube pasta, but long tube? The sauce can’t get in there, so what’s the point?
