Given 31 U.S.C. 5112, i wouldn't trust that this is actually legal tender

The one trait consistent to EVERYONE on the right is an inability to understand anything until they experience it personally

You cannot say this and remain in office. He has to go. And Democrats have to make an enormous deal out of threats to exterminate an entire group of people.

Good news, i was released from jury duty after only 2 days Bad news, the stipend won't quite cover the records i bought over the lunch break today.

1987 I think? I was still a pretty new in town after moving here for college. I heard about a show at First Avenue (where I’d never been), some local band the Replacements. It sounded fun but when I saw the ticket line stretched 2/3 the way around the block I decided it wasn’t worth the wait.
John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 4d agoHow about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)
1 I heard GOP gov candidate Lisa Demuth say she is going to lower property taxes. Knowing a lot about county finance, I was curious how the state could lower property taxes. Tax credits, of course, is part of her plan, but that doesn't lower taxes - it just shifts whose paying & adds paperwork.
One thing I will say: you can give Stevie Wonder his flowers right now. We can cherish him right now.

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1) Ooo la la, a GARAGE 2) where*brraaaap* have you been all my life? 3) getting ever closer to the POISON donut 4) now we play the waiting game... 5) She'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene
John Maddening!@johnmaddening.bsky.social · last wk.The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1) We work hard, we play hard! 2) Oh, I’ve wasted my life. 3) Here’s a little something I learned in the CIA… 4) This should provide adequate sustenance for the Doctor Who marathon. 5) My retirement grease!
tl;dw: the job of the dem majority over the next two years, should it materialize, is to make life hell for the white house, not find points of cooperation

If you have the Criterion Channel, highly recommend watching the 1962 Cape Fear then the 1991 Scorsese version. The original is excellent but knowing that one, the Scorsese take is another whole level.
This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

Your reminder that the English Beat icon "Beat Girl" is a transgender woman named Brigitte Bond from a photo of her dancing with ska musician Prince Buster at Heathrow in 1964 and none of us will be as cool as she was.
It's been years since the Guthrie moved, but i still somehow think of Guthrie and the Walker in the same place.
If efficiency is the real point, we'd get there a lot faster by spending 1% of all this AI money on reading comprehension training and the rest of it on universal healthcare.
We’re watching The Prisoner again and it’s just amazing how many untested drugs they’re pumping into that guy.

I made the mistake of falling in love with a specific version of Columbia shorts, and Columbia seems unable to make the same version of anything more than 2 years in a row. I bought 3 pair at the time, but they're starting to fail. Anyway, found some decent Carhartt shorts at Lowe's for $23.
