He/him. Lawyer but not your lawyer.
This is an outstanding line and he should keep using it.

"My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries," he said. "You know what is? Their BS policies." www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...
BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.
I don’t want to see a single thing about Haley Stevens going forward that isn’t an acknowledgment that she immediately endorsed after the race was called
Evan Sutton@evansutton.bsky.social · 4h agoI encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
Regardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
I’ve been reading a Hardy Boys book to my son at bedtime and it’s insane. They have multiple conversations with one another that take place while they are both riding separate motorcycles.
This is may be coming around to an asset. It’s just weird enough to be charming

It is actually impressive how insane of a statement this is.

You can tell that he never hurt or threatened his wife or child from...the way that he is publicly threatening his wife's father
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agowhoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation
Obviously Thune sucks but you can still see the vestiges of senate supremacy brain in his offhand “that particular monkey isn’t in my circus, go ask Mike”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too
For as much as the Maine Dems and the party generally did not exactly cover themselves in glory wrt Platner, it could have been so much worse

I read this story long before the pandemic, but it's forever associated with the pandemic for me now because in April 2020, my makeshift home desk was by a window overlooking an elevated train station, and I could see the trains come in, doors open to empty cars, no one get on or off, doors close
Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · yesterdayToday, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Season 3 Episode 3 is the first time HotD has felt like GoT. Cautiously optimistic.
Slopulism is always dumb, but this is a particularly bad choice. MAHA is inextricably linked to RFK and MAGA and even extending that olive branch is gonna be read as a bad thing.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
One of my most luxurious purchases was a set of Le Creuset coffee mugs. Luxurious because they do the job basically as well as any ceramic coffee mugs, but they were made in France by people paid a living wage and they bring me enormous pleasure every day.
Buttadeus@thewanderingjew.bsky.social · 2d agowell mostly what I posted, but there's a lot about our contemporary consumer culture which is sort of pennywise/pound-foolish about pleasure in particular. Basically, that luxuries are morally questionable, but constant, small breaks and treats are not.
Apparently this guy is supposed to be American but he sounds extremely English to me which makes it even funnier for some reason
Manya Koetse@manyapan.bsky.social · 2d agoOther videos depict foreigners as arrogant, entitled, and aggressive bullies who believe their nationality places them above Chinese rules. These videos mostly feature white people, but sometimes also Black, Indian, or Japanese characters.
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
I subsidize pre-k I’ll never use because I’m an adult man without children but you don’t see me whining about it.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.
