moses' beyblade

I’m at the local strip mall chain restaurant. It’s absolutely packed with families. The tv at the bar was playing Charlie Kirk coverage. The bartender said “enough of this” and switched it to baseball and everyone started cheering.

i think many if not most of these people are seeing the outpouring of grief from key right wing media figures on places like fox news and are mirroring the performance because they think it is the thing to do

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Yeah same, I was in homeschool co-ops that explicitly banned Catholics and Mormons from teaching.

It must be so humiliating to be an adult Catholic convert who gets stood up by the damn POPE in the damn Vatican

RFK Jr: Autistic kids are a tragedy. They'll never pay taxes, never hold down a job, never contribute anything to society

Autistic kids:

I'm one of those sickos who lives in an "ingredients household" apparently.

I didn't know this was a thing until recently I thought it was just called making food.

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

They are recessionary and inflationary at the same time, a masterful combo.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

If it helps, they might just come back tomorrow.

Gotta invert it, obviously

Yield curve babyyyyy

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

The best part is that volume/imports is just a pretty normal measure to use.

Big deal for sure. It was R+15 in November and considered a safe seat. The county's demos are shifting in the Dems favor, turnout was low, and people are upset best explain it, I think.

The replies to this are so funny to me as a district resident. The Amish don't have that kinda pull, they don't vote at high rates and don't have the numbers to influence this outcome. Parsons has more or less conceded already, too. It's a flip because turnout was <30% and people are mad.

Etown literally did it.

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty

they are also really, really stupid

some more congestion pricing Ws:

Broadway attendance: up 21%
Restaurant reservations: up 7%
Pedestrian traffic: up 4%
Retail sales: up $900M
Commercial leasing: up 61%
Subway crime: down 37%
Car crashes: down 50%
Honking complaints: down 69%

Not that Western propaganda is inherently *good* but why would a government ever rationally dismantle its propaganda? The only time this gives a policy maker benefit is if they want to weaken the state.

Well tough loss for the Union but I guess we knew it was coming eventually.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

I hope it doesn't take long until the Bishop visits the church I'll be going to after graduation
