Lmao, just remembered that one of the reasons Olive Garden was so popular when it came to my town was that they had entirely separate *rooms* for smoking and non-smoking instead of just the little half wall divider that most restaurants had.
William Adler@williamadler78.bsky.social · 11h agoalso, like, everything else. In 1986 people smoked in restaurants. In a "smoking section" right because air stands still indoors suuuuure.
The reason they have all been summoned to Morocco is because Infantino is their on holiday with his family. That is kind of mad from an optics point of view given the current circumstances. Has the look of a royal summoning his court for a dressing down.
with apologies to the young man who left his extremely well-curated spotify account logged in on the hotel tv: if my daughter didn’t hear elmo’s alphabet rap we were all going to die
the solution to this, as i've said before, is redenominate the currency. one old $1 equals 10 new cents and suddenly everyone can buy gas with literal pocket change again bsky.app/profile/sky....
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 9mo agoone of my hottest takes is that we should redenominate the currency to reduce a lot of the "Felt" inflation (i.e. having to shell out larger bills, coins being a cute legacy product, etc)
it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
kind of comforting that it is trivially easy to bait literally any political faction into internecine public beef with a single burrito taxi post
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 8h agofor 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.
A former police officer working clandestinely with Communist labor organizers in the peak HUAC/McCarthy years to bring down the big plantation and sugar companies is, in my opinion, kinda bonkers and why history is endlessly fascinating en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_...

Choosing to believe that infantino has gone a bit Howard Hughes and believes Martin Zygler is in the walls at FIFA HQ
Tariq Panja@tariqpanja.bsky.social · 3h agoAlso heard that some of the people who were asked to go to Morocco for this meeting were anxious about going there for it given the high tension. Most having had to travel from Zurich, some asking why Infantino could not have met them at FIFA’s HQ, where they would have felt more comfortable.
the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny
rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 5d agoi have never seen a higher density of pride flags than in Boise
Why do bash "dead-beat" voters for not being there for the national left wave but we never question if the leftist has bad vibes?

I vote for shitty moderate Democrats all the time in general elections. I do it because Republicans are demons from hell, not because I care about the opinions of people like this. But man is it annoying.
Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 15h agoEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!
Who knew ridiculously long deployments and demanding op tempos run a ship and crew into the ground!

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
My neighbor told me progressives keep eating centrist candidates in primaries and so I asked how much his centrist PACs are spending and he said oh just a couple dozen mil every primary so I said it sounds like he's just feeding billions to broadcast TV networks and then his daughter started crying.

We all still do it. Gladly. To advocate for our dignity. Because to get people who are not affected to advocate for us to someone has to have done that work. But we still find ourselves with the same talking about trans people instead of to them discourse.
I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · yesterdayI hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.
The pervasiveness of the term “biological male” is proof that the style guides are determined by a certain type of staffer and it ain’t one that knows what my hormone panels look like
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · yesterdayDid we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?
It’s a total aside but watching the way NYT and British reporters have to squeeze the way sports transfer sources are willing to be referenced into the sourcing conventions and standards of American news reporting amuses me.
Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social · 5h agothe degree to which this reporting on a new Vinicius contract offer functions as a Rorschach test for both Madrid and Arsenal fans is hilarious it means nothing so it could mean anything, and you can easily imagine it means the thing you want it to mean www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
Devastating failure of Hollywood that it isn't called "The Urge", though.

i am also struck by how rapidly these discussions move away from the material details of ordinary human bodies and into something more like debates about idealized and abstract Male Form vs. Female Form, which are supposed to reside somewhere in plato's realm of ideas
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agoit's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't
They’re all going to come crawling back lol
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 7h agoFor federal elections, splitting the GOP into two competing crank Nazi movements would be great for Democrats. At the state/local level, however, we'd be condemning large portions of the South and Midwest to governance by Crossfit George Wallace's.
i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist
