West Orange, New Jersey, is putting up its
own historical markers, something I’ve seen other towns do. On July 30, the town dedicated its latest: for the late 1970s teen idol David Cassidy. C’mon, get happy! downtownwo.com/attractions/

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

So is traveling all over the district and back and forth to DC, which is why it tends to be a job done by older folks, and not people with kids they want to tuck in at night.

This is a Republican talking point. Most of congress, and most of its leadership, is in its 50s and 60s.

Running for office is a full time, unpaid job. AOC tended bar. Max Frost drove Uber.

That’s difficult on its own and harder, if not impossible, with a family, unless you’re rich.

They’re also exceptionally young for the positions they’re in, which isn’t to say unqualified or untalented.

Whether or not someone had been working that whole time, they’d have been hard pressed to have built up the traditional resume for an elected office at that level.

That is actually really high for electronic fundraising (and marketing), especially since most of those lists are pure churn.

I may have a clinical need to touch grass, y’all. My vitamin D level is 7, or as my doctor characterized it β€œnonexistent.”

I’m still on the fence about this whole go outside thing.

If PBS and NPR stations survive the shutdown of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, then they no longer have to give a shit if the federal government is upset with their coverage.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Tequila, Drugs and Torture: The Spending Binge of Two Crypto Bros That Ended Behind Bars β€” The Wall Street Journal William Duplessie and John Woeltz hatched grandiose plans in business and politics but instead drew charges in an alleged kidnap scheme

I hope that the Coen Brothers do a version of the crypto bro kidnapping movie.

The high-budget streaming documentary is going to be incredible, but β€œpiles of cocaine” just screams for them or Armando Ianucci

According to some statistics I saw (and this is by no means neglecting the horrors of women stuck in abusive relationships!) the number of murdered husbands was cut almost exactly in half after no-fault divorce was legalized.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

and like 15 years later at a community college career center, which was basically a survey monkey at the DOL website, I kid you not. Basically it was a step above a buzzfeed quiz.

anyhoo, I got the same result both times. ENTP, fwiw. I imagine the job list is the same for everybody.

I take them with a grain of salt, but I will say that I di the whole hours or days long rigamarole my senior year of college when I realized "oh shit, wtf am I going to do?" (should've hit up the career center my 1st year, not my 4th)…

I don’t see or talk to one of my oldest friends that often (from high school, not completely bizarre), but she was one of the first people I knew to get married, and whenever we do chat, I’m always happy to hear that she and her husband are still together. It makes my day.
