Okay this is INCREDIBLE, as somebody with a 1000 watt microwave in a country where every single ‘microwave instructions’ assumes 750 or 900

The Microwave Cooking for One site is legit useful. You know that thing that happens when microwave food is half frozen? That’s not inherent to the microwave, it’s because most box microwave instructions are for 1100 watts and your microwave is something else. There’s a conversion chart for that!

game recognize game.

Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

I wouldn't go back to the 1980s because Reagan was president. Nah I'm just kidding. I wouldn't go back because I hadn't been born yet.

In 1986 my dad was watching his mom die slowly and painfully of a cancer she'd likely survive today, while my mom lived under Soviet tyranny.

Getting really tired of Dems voting against their own best interest because the national Dem party backs a certain candidate.

Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.

i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.

I support the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary as the future senator from Michigan.

I really hope one of those tik tok channels that makes old time products and recipes makes this.

I found out that my friends grandfather was able to avoid the WW2 draft by telling them he was an engineer working on a military project and it was a pogo stick with a gun mounted on it and they bought it. There are actual designs and plans of the thing. I'm going to write the hell out of this story

If you're watching the trending terms on bsky, it's almost like the Michigan race. Michigan race: 5k+ posts August 4 elections: 138 posts

DSA supporting voters will be going to bed early tonight. Establishment Dems will be staying up all night until the last votes teeter in, hoping against hope that this last county will change the race outcome.

I hope they don't call it IMMEDIATELY so we can enjoy at least an hour of posts like these.

Watching the vote count roll in. Keep hearing Lizzo singing "about damn time."

the year is 2026. the only food people can eat is boiled ice cubes

If accounts named "Doris" and "Enid" back each other up about it being ageist to not being thrilled a boomer Congress critter won their primary race for like a 6th plus term... Do I need to reply in all caps so they can hear me?

Good. Leave them alone. Ban the practice. Pass my OCTOPUS Act.

In Texas, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare cleared the meeting room, silencing public opposition to the GOP plan to eliminate half of the battleground county’s Election Day voting locations before the midterms.

The Democrats' midterm ad practically writes itself.

Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it.
