If the time zones weren’t mentioned I would have thought they were just touring Michigan.
R.E.M.@remhq.bsky.social · yesterday“It’s Monday. It’s going to be over 100 degrees in Athens today, & I’m packing for a tour that will encompass nine time zones, three or four climates, and two seasons. I’m looking at my suitcase in horror wondering what to pack. The first Drink The Sea show is August 30th, stretching into November.
Purity culture and the concept of soul mates are the exact same thing.

This move allows members’ identities in holding companies not to have to be registered with the government. Talk about shadow owners!
I wish I could submit the response emails I get from him as evidence of a pattern of lying.
James West@jamespwest.bsky.social · 4d agoNew from @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social Sooo: Max Miller swore he had video and a witness. Weeks later his lawyers wrote that his girlfriend "was in fact not likely present." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A year ago, a midlevel Homeland Security Investigations agent proposed using the agency's databases to find noncitizens on voter rolls. The White House quickly got onboard. A new @propublica.org investigation reveals what happened next and how this unprecedented effort fell apart.🧵
Wouldn’t be the first time. He was found to have made false statements in a road rage case not too long ago as well.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 5d agoRep. Max Miller made “false statements” to a court in order to get a Civil Protection Order against his ex-wife earlier this year, new legal filings allege.
Jobs should end over this. Starting with the Defense Secretary. See my write up today on Substack. buff.ly/AuNYp9L
Medicare for all would save a buttload of money. But, Billy Bob Jones down the street, that has never left his small town, heard stories about how bad universal healthcare in other countries is, so we don’t get representatives that will fight for it.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 5d agoA recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
Good thing my trumpet is hiding in the attic. 🙄

David DeWitt@daviddewitt.bsky.social · 6d agoSteel giant Cleveland-Cliffs was supposed to use $500 million from a Biden administration grant to usher in cleaner steelmaking in SW Ohio.

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) previously denied a report, also alleged in court records, that he pushed a girl down a flight of stairs in high school. But the woman recently told Mother Jones the alleged incident remains "one of the more traumatic nights of my life." Inside the investigation:
Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller
Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

I don’t like when people think Being A Dick is the same thing as Having Balls. It’s not. Not even close. In fact there’s a Vas Deferens between them.
I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters

My wife shouting from the living room: "I hope you haven't spent your entire month's salary on something unnecessary and expensive again" Me: "DON'T COME IN THE BATHROOM"
I realize that part of caring for someone with Dementia is to go along with whatever headspace they are in and not argue with them. But sending these folks out to flat out lie with a smile on their face just to keep up the charade is just stupid at this point. They look absolutely ridiculous.
