Bicycles. Punk rock didn't save the world, but it should have. I try to stay on topic, but you're going to get random posts about housing, gardening, preserving/canning, dogs, and baseball.
I just don't understand the fascination with gambling. I certainly don't understand gambling on random, uncontrolled things.

The GAO says 70% of Americans receiving federal social aid work full time. That means they have jobs that don't pay enough to live on.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."
This is what happens when you bend the knee to Trump.

Is the Democratic establishment ever going to wake up? But I suppose the $27 million spent by AIPAC and Meta for Stevens was good economically for Michigan.

My annual reminder that no matter how small the election, or how non-partisan it's supposed to be, ask the candidates how they are registered and how many times they voted for Trump. No Republican ever deserves your vote, even for rat catcher.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d agoEarlier tonight, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social read *another* quote from this weirdo that reflected the same general sentiment. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...
The Dodger's luxury tax stands around $190 million after acquiring Skubal. The average payroll in the league is $177 million. If you're a fan of another team what's the point of watching? If you're an owner, don't you want to stop the Dodgers inflationary spending?
Yes she would, Max. The literature about why victims return to their abusers is extensive. Maybe you should take some classes rather than abuse your wife.

Ray Knight just declared his man love for his 1986 Mets teammates and he doesn't give a fuck who knows it.
Amazon - "Spend less on your kids" is a weird ad campaign but I understand the original ads, "Fuck taking care of your kids" didn't poll well with focus groups.
That would be a shame. Also, Mr. Nadella might want to consult a stylist who would make him look less like a super villain.

I love how he compares losing Penn Station to saving bags of trash on the street. As I grow older, I care less and less about historic preservation because it is so often misused as a means to stop any sort of progress.

Musk is now back to buying elections. Campaign finance is public. Lets make this toxic to the recipients of his money. We did it with the supreme court seat in Michigan. We can do it again. These people are the enemy of civil rights, privacy, human rights & the environment.
We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.
I mean, sure, as a relatively high earner, I'm probably going to get less return than I would have from investing or than a lower earner will see, but I'm okay with that. That doesn't make it a scam.

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · last wk.“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

When Riverside County tried to implement Workday, I read the contract and thought it was a lot of BS with deliverables Workday clearly wasn't providing. Fortunately, it fell apart and only ended up costing $8 million. Also a good example of why you should never hire KPMG who recommended Workday.
Snow Burrow@bostonjerry.bsky.social · last wk.In the 2010s, Workday sold itself to every major employer in the US by saying "it will cost you a lot to license and implement our platform, but it will pay for itself because you'll be able to eliminate most of your HR department through automation." Which wasn't true, but it sure did work.
Pretty sure if I was on this plane, it wouldn't be making its destination and a whole lot of us would end up no-fly lists.
