for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
the differences in burrito price discourse between left and right are fascinating

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
istg i thought this was a joke but it turns out he really is that big of a pissbaby
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3h agoNEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)
so it turns out you CAN mix champagne with maple whisky and 7yo apple pie liqueur that's been lurking in the fridge slowly metamorphosing into a new form of life and it's surprisingly good??
we live in a world in which there are Dem-voting parents who'll be mad abt this

Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · yesterdayFed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.
This is probably true of previously flavor-deprived parts of the world, the rest of the world idk
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Exactly. 50 euro. I wore through three pairs of shit running trainers in a year before I could buy a pair of ASICS for 50 euro extra. That's what it's about. I had a pair of DMs back when they were good quality that literally lasted 20 years. I can't bulk buy laundry pods. Much more expensive.
neither a luxury car nor a boat is what the boots theory is about. it's not the jimmy choos theory. it's about boots.
Man skulle också kunna tacka Jomshof för att han är helt transparent med vad Tidö menar alla dagar i veckan.
There's a Swedish saying that roughly means that you know others through yourself, and I guess that's all people need to know about Will Stancil today
katie@supermathskid.bsky.social · 2d agookay now he's gone too far
the boots theory was one i lived in london supermarket shopping required both access to funds to by the big packs and transport to get them home. i had neither now i have both and am rewarded with less cost per use on everything Stancil should really get Pratchett's name out of his mouth and STFU
"The idea that wealth brings with it the inherent frugality of quality worksmanship"? He couldn't be a more privileged ignoramus if he tried.
i was just annoyed but now I'm honestly kinda angry
katie@supermathskid.bsky.social · yesterdayI mean,,,,
People are in his replies like "well I've had $150 boots and $300 boots and I don't see a difference!" and it's like ok have you ever tried boots you got for £4 from oxfam
I remember being a kid and having to pay a premium for utilities because our credit was too low for a DD; having to pay corner shop prices for food because we'd no car to get to a supermarket, etc
I literally wore through three pairs of running trainers in a year before I had some decent ones.
as low as my expectations have become I still didn't think an abuse story about somebody breaking a little girl's bones would get worse but that appears to have been naive of me
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaywhoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation
There is a reason why Vimes's Theory of Boots resonates with so very many people who have lives outside the internet, and the reason is that they themselves have found themselves forced to buy things at a higher long-term cost bc they—or their parents—couldn't afford better things at any given time.
@lastpositivist.bsky.social · 2d agoOk but tbf this is the point of the price distribution Pratchett applied the theory to
did a dwarf caption this cartoon and when was the last time mfer did the dishes
@lastpositivist.bsky.social · 2d agoI think this is too clever by half - enjoy making the spreadsheet for who's doing the dishes in your artist commune polycule with 7 guys defined by one personality trait, meanwhile I'll be crying into my luxurious poster bed while living in a castle.
