@schumer.senate.gov: “We have lots of different paths to victory, and we’re not going to turn any of them down." Except Florida. We're not gonna waste our time with Florida, right Chuck? www.ms.now/news/angie-n...
‘Gun-shy’ after 2024: Angie Nixon says Democratic leaders are wary of backing Black women candidates
The Florida Senate candidate says a noncommittal Chuck Schumer reflects a broader reluctance, and that the party “could do a lot more.”

Have spent the best part of an hour in this position, and could probably spend another hour before we get up #productivity
When I moved to durham, i realized i had become part of the community when i successfully lobbied the city to install a bus shelter at the stop nearest my house. Nearly 5 years into my stay in Ireland, i have gotten the State to install a bus stop sign at the stop nearest my house. Progress!
Me: Can i schedule my vaccines? I’m off to a third world country in October and i want to make sure i’m protected. GP: Of course. Here’s the link to book online. May i ask where you’re going? Me: Florida
Hakeem Jefferies: "The question is whether Republicans will join us.” Dems can have leadership that thinks they need Republicans to do stuff, or they can have leadership that believes winning power by motivating the base and apathetic non-voters is the way to go. But not both

The guys who did the 2008 renovations on my house did a decent job on the hardwood floors on the top storey. My best guess is they lifted whatever was on top of the wood on the 1st floor landing and said, nope, let's just throw some carpet on that. I should have learned something from them
I'm making these wings from a recipe in the Guardian, and I noticed this part, and I'm thinking, how the fuck does anyone think 500 grams (just over a pound) of wings can go around for 6 people? #recipes
I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction - Clarence Darrow
Everyone already knew that Infantino had less backbone than your average garden slug. The guy who's going to take the biggest hit to his reputation going forward is Pocchetino. Utterly lacking in integrity, and I actually liked the guy up till this week. Was very hard done by at Chelsea
I hear they're already renaming that new Thierry Henry street in Manhattan to Handball Court #thierryhenry #worldcup
I will never understand why every one of the previous owners of my 190 year old house decided to slap more paint on these doors, instead of stripping them down. Yeah, it’s a shit load of work, but it will be worth it
I see half a dozen posts a day of "if Obama (or Biden) had done X, the media would have exploded, yet Trump does X squared and no one says boo." The answer is simple. Under Democrats, the US had a functional, aggressive opposition party. Under Trump, the US has Democrats
Lighthouse pic of the day. Maybe the renovations will actually be completed by summer!
I’ve been waiting all day on a delivery of a pretty expensive item via DHL. their tracking page has simply said “by end of day” since early this morning. Their chatbot disconnects me whenever i try to get it to pin down what exactly “end of day” might mean in this context …
I often joke about Ireland's mañana culture, but this is ridiculous
Ikea says you'll be wanting the full glass of wine to assemble this one
That Irish paint suppliers haven’t figured out that tossing in a few branded mixing sticks (from either the retailer or manufacturer) on a multi-hundred euro order makes sense, will never not be amusing to me. Some of the cheapest marketing imaginable to build brand loyalty
