Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Denver!

God hit Abbot with that tree because he hates him and he lived because God hates the rest of us

I do reinforce the time spent reading, because I think practice is important. That said, the material is whatever he likes. :)

The pink aurora borealis in the northern night sky.

I wasn’t skunked this time! The aurora borealis for real.

Or NSA agents.

I feel like there are lessons to be taken from the Tea Party. Obviously not the racist trash, but that a vocal and active minority can fundamentally change the character of an American political party.

Child me learned to read early and I loved Misty of Chincoteague. Young me read and reread The Hero and the Crown. Young adult me enjoyed the hell out of Youth in Revolt. Older me is still thinking about The Once and Future Witches. Books have shaped my whole life.

For sure. There’s no place for anyone that even if they were so misguided as to get a Nazi tattoo in their youth that hasn’t had the good sense to (1) admit their wrong and (2) have covered it long ago.

Maybe the Dems can consider running somebody that isn't a "safe bet" that's in their 70s+.

if you told 17 year old me how thoroughly, world-historically vindicated ICP would be within a couple decades...

Youth, joy, hope, and moral clarity shine in a field of dreary technocrats and oatmeal-flavored centrists. Give me somebody that believes in something! Somebody that risks being wrong. Somebody REAL.

My friend makes a Krampus advent calendar so I’d naturally buy her out. Look what I found on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/6614...

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Solidly supporting Anschutz interests first.

Lessons from the Tea Party here. MTG and Gaetz wouldn’t made it out of the late night comedy shorts before Obama.

I was thinking of writing Hickenlooper and Bennet actual letters so that they can really *feel* how disappointed I am in them. I already stopped hearing from Hick when I responded to a text about the Dangerous Donald with the number of appointees confirmed. Now I hear Bennet is eyeing Governor.

Men like this are transphobes because they are, deep down, misogynists. They simply believe they are better than women at everything, and in trans women they have found a group it is alright to descriminate against. This man believes cis women are his physical inferiors, and needs you to know that.

"Why should I pay for roads that I never drive on?" Truly do not understand the basic building blocks of society and civilization (though they definitely feel entitled to the fruits of both).

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I also haven’t forgotten all of those Trump nominations that my Senators confirmed. I have voted Democrat tickets since 1996 and am honestly considering registering. The Democrats do no represent me or my values AT ALL.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Right? A meetup with toddlers and I brought Goldfish and not carefully-crafted strawberry bouquets or whatever. It’s the snack the smiles back!

Outbreak Investigation of Infant Botulism: Infant Formula Do not use certain lots of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. FDA’s Investigation is ongoing.

NEWS — FDA announces 13 cases of infant botulism across 10 states after babies were given ByHeart powder formula from two specific lots.

I do put money into a retirement account that periodically is wiped out by Republican crashes and regular recessions. Republicans want to take everything I’ve contributed to Social Security as well. I am so afraid that I will be an enormous burden on my children.

My boomer parents say that people need to have more babies. How? Wages have stagnated for my ENTIRE LIFE. I’m 50. You’re supposed to support a family on less every year as prices rise AND care for your aging boomer parents that spent all their money in their youth because YOLO? GTFOH.

So many. Most of my neighbors are suburban MAGA. They’re going to miss their grandkids.

True. One time I showed up at a mom meet-up with Goldfish for my snack contribution. The LOOKS I got. I never went back.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
