Fled the bird! NO DM’s! NO MAGATS! I am old and have no filter if cussing bothers you I suggest you mute me as I have been out of fucks for over a decade. 💙💙💙💙

As a Michigan voter who is grateful as fuck I wasn't in the state for that Senate primary, I think this deserves more attention: Jocelyn Benson has a MUCH easier route ahead of her than it looked like she would in January. MUCH easier. And that's going to help unify the party.

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.

The important thing to know about boots is that Dr. Martens was bought by a private equity firm a while back, the boots are now garbage in terms of construction quality, but Solovair set up to make similar boots on the old equipment in the old factory and their versions are much better quality.

My take on boots discourse is that we face a lemons problem with many consumer goods, given the acquisition of many storied brands by companies aggressively milking accumulated brand equity for higher profits, such that price and reputation for durability does not reliably predict higher roi.
