When your entire attack line is garbage and you thought you were being clever, you’re a Schmitt-head.

I’m throwing this out there, it would not surprise me one bit if AI is the reason for Senator Schmitt’s flubbing of the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. He really thought he did something special.
Hey hot take but I actually don’t give a fuck if expelling a rapist from school “ruins his future”
I used to track the words I wrote every day, but over the past few months it feels like an unnecessary step that only added guilt to my writing process when I didn’t hit the goals I set.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.
Today on the yoga mat, rain beats down on the metal roof throughout the session
I’d like to draw your attention to the new Mary Wallopers album “Paddywhackery,” it’s very good. My favorite tracks are “The Fly,” “The Big Mixer,” “Landlords Demise,” and “Smuggling the Tin.”
A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share.
Starting my reread of The Fellowship of the Ring feels very special today!
Ian McKellen, when he was a little kid and being a tattle-tale, Ian Is-Tellin’
Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!
I would like to consume one, just one granola bar, package of nuts, yogurt, or any other pre-packaged food item without an “(*insert any value greater than 10 and less than 20) grams of added protein,” label.
Bend your left knee with your right leg straight out, lay flat on your back for a bit, then grab your right leg and feel then little goblins poke and prod at your hamstring

I made this jollof rice last night, super easy to follow recipe and the best part is mixing the leftovers with breakfast sausage and fried eggs www.allrecipes.com/chef-johns-j...
Chef John’s Jollof Rice
This is a foolproof recipe for cooking Jollof rice, West Africa’s most popular dish, which can be served as a side dish or a main.

Weary traveler please sit and rest a moment. Deep breaths, you can do this, and drink some water. Marching through this never ending hellscape with a parched mouth is ill advised.
It’s a rainy day and Charlie Hunter albums are the background noise. Starting with “Baboon Strength” (technical note that’s a mandrill in the cover, not a baboon).
Wrote a thing. It’s probably about you at some point. You know, pastries and death. Anyway, little cameo by @stephengrahamjones.com’s Not for Nothing. Ha. gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/a-story-of...

Transgender people deserve to have a nice life. That is the entirety of the argument. If you disagree, you’re saying that you do not believe in liberty or justice for all.
John Fetterman should be ousted from the Democratic Party, Big Show’s stunt double has gotta go.
