Realizing I can blame my slightly rough-sounding voice on the wildfire smoke

If the deal is the full release of the Epstein files and impeachment/conviction of the President, maaaaaybe.

5) At least continue to watch and listen as much as you can, the ratings will help.

6) Don't take public media for granted--talk about it with your friends and neighbors--the shows you watch/listen to, the stories that affect your life, how much it matters.

3) If you live in an area with strong public media (NYC and New England will probably be fine), consider donating to a smaller rural public media organization. Even a one-time donation would help now.

4) If you can't afford a donation, see if you can volunteer.

1) If you're not donating to public media and you have the means, please start. Do a monthly contribution if you can. They make it super easy.

2) If you're already donating to public media, increase your contribution if you can. We doubled our contributions.

I heard he got it from a tick in a box

Can we have a shout out for Stephen Colbert's agent(s) and/or lawyer(s), who made it so CBS couldn't fire him for ten months, and only by completely eliminating the show?

Anyone who thinks this either isn't or has never lived with a woman.

You know what? Let's keep encouraging conservatives to eat more sugar and beef tallow.

The Washington Epstein Didn't Kill Himselves

No area code in the original NANP required more than 21 pulses on a rotary dial phone.

The thing about Trump saying he "doesn't draw" in response to the WSJ article is that he's probably not physically able to draw like that anymore, and he probably also sexually assaulted underage girls with Jeffrey Epstein.

You can also usually get access for a donation to your local station.

I-91 through Springfield, MA is worse than I-81 through Syracuse, NY. At least they're fixing I-81.

Chronic venous insufficiency is not benign.

If they are saying that's what he has what's actually going on is likely even worse.

They downplayed a COVID case that sent him to the hospital.

They acted like a bullet that passed a inch from his skull was no big deal.

9 years of commuting to NYC and I only realized last night that the reason the conductors don't check tickets between NY Penn and Secaucus is because they don't need to; you have to use your ticket to enter and leave the station in Secaucus.

(To be fair, I rarely started/finished a commute there)

Consecutive Facebook posts, one about the history of the Mac settings dialog, one of the vintage Fisher-Price Activity Center child's toy, and the similarities are striking.

this means something

If you haven't figured it out yet, a LLM can never be better than its training data.

I heard he also said "chomping at the bit"

Soon, the only holiday we'll be allowed to celebrate will be Prime Day.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Here's what people don't understand: Jeff Bezos spending $50 million on his wedding is like the median American by net worth spending $40 on theirs.

Once you accumulate a net worth of $1 billion you should get a trophy and a parade for winning capitalism, and then every dollar you make after that should be taxed, or you can donate them.

You'll be fine.

If your net worth drops below $1 billion then you can earn and keep up to $1 billion.

I assume he and Mamdani had roles picked out in each other's administration.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

If more progressive Democrats get elected they become the Democratic party, which I think is good.

In general I've been in favor of the farthest left candidates in any race; if for nothing else than we need some balance. Overton Window and all that.

I wouldn't call it "endearing" exactly but perhaps seeing Trump covet a Nobel Peace Prize is the most outwardly human thing I've seen him do.

I was going to say it was hotter than balls today but if your balls are as hot as it was today, please see a doctor.
