NC based, I try to get outside, I knit, I read a wide range of things, I like dogs, I would probably rather be sleeping
So Max Miller seems to be staying in his race maybe and apparently it's a only a Trump +11 district and I dunno that seems flippable to me when you have a real abusive psycho on the ballot
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota prosecutors obtain hard drives, car in investigation into fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

There is still time if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing
PSA: Had the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Barbara this week gone the other way, Folarin Balogun, who just scored for the U.S. in the World Cup, would likely not be considered a citizen. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
World Cup 2026: Folarin Balogun, the US star who would not be allowed under Trump's plan
Folarin Balogun scored two goals on his World Cup debut, but he is the type of person President Trump is trying to ban under birthright citizenship.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.
I watched part of the 2005 movie Coach Carter and so Coach Carter when he wants to discipline his basketball players orders them to do like 500 pushups and 80 suicide drills or whatever. Once he doubled it. For an individual. Am I correct that people...cannot do 500 pushups in one practice?
I thought there was nothing more hilariously on-brand than booking a musical duo famous for being frauds and also half of them are dead. But then they backed out and it got even funnier.
Joined a new gym and they have a theater room with some of their equipment with a random movie playing. So I worked out to 30 minutes from the middle of the 2006 romcom The Holiday.
This is Juno. No table is too far away for paw resting.
and your dogs. please also remember to post pictures of your dogs. even if your dogs are cats.
"In Louisiana, where Black people make up roughly a third of the population, the congressional maps were specifically drawn so that a third of the districts were majority Black. Does that seem fair to you?" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/we-...

This makes me insane. Where is Congress? Does he have $885M in petty cash?
Scrapping offshore wind: The Trump administration says it will pay two more energy companies, including one developing a wind project off Morro Bay, to abandon their projects. The federal government will pay $885 million to end the leases. @hayleysmith.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/...
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
Breaking News: President Trump is said to be in talks to send Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Reading and writing cursive is a good skill, and there is nothing quite like a handwritten thank-you card.
What’s your most old-coded opinion? Mine is that the Apple Watch is the least value added product* on the market today. It’s like what if you had a Fitbit with a bunch of apps you never used and you have to charge it twice a day? *over something like a basic Fitbit
If you don't have a plan to try to reduce your own use of fossil fuels, there's no better time imo
New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future
A phrase that has been running through my mind a lot lately is: slowly, and then all at once
There's a short stretch of road on my bike commute that's narrow, hilly, and curvy. I'm routinely passed on it by drivers hoping to gain a a second or 2 advantage over me. It's dumb, dangerous, and illegal. #BikeSky #RoadSafety #ChapelHillNC
For those of you outside of NC, Phil Berger is the most powerful GOP pol in the state, the architect of a decade of Republican policy “successes” and their biggest channel of campaign $$$. If he loses, the NCGOP will have shot its golden goose in the face, point blank. And I’m here for it.
Wow, Rockingham County is really not happy with its #ncga representation. With all precincts reporting, Berger got 33% of his home county (but could still win with Guilford), and Rep. Reece Pyrtle appears to have lost to Seth Woodall. #ncpol
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the ouster of least 10 employees involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, four people briefed on the matter told CNN. https://cnn.it/4r7IXMc
Watched the pilot and it was really, really funny.
ok its time for the feelings post: folks the show Strip Law comes out tomorrow on Netflix i never thought id get my own thing to show everyone what i think is funny. i spent the last 2.5ish years (along with tons of other creatives to be lauded later) putting my entire being into this show...
I had a reaction to the English Patient that was almost exactly like Elaine Benes in Seinfeld Only my boss didn't send me to Tunisia to repent unfortunately
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman
