I’d really like everyone who, for twenty five years has said stuff like “you can disagree with the Republicans, but you can’t call them dumb” to make a general public retraction. These assholes are real stupid.

Yes. Jeffries is the majority leader. Yes. Leader is an appropriate title. But sending a fundraising text from "Leader Jeffries" ... they're already calling us communists dude. And our base isn't big into titles.

in case you can't tell, i'm really fed up with street racing cars and motorcycles. Not even the racing itself. just If i can hear you five blocks away (on city streets) ... your car/motorcyle/truckthing is too damned loud. And doesn't belong on public streets.

There are 23 million people in FL. 14 million of them were registered to vote in 2024. 11 million of them voted. That's something like 0.0000017% There are very real election security and integrity concerns. This isn't one of them.

I don’t think the job crisis is because of spam applications but a combination of organizations refusing to expand and also being completely unwilling to consider training a neccessary expense or a part of induction into organizational culture

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

How unarmed 911 teams are reshaping public safety in nearly 100 cities
Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?

sort of every interaction with a large corp these days involves unbridled rage. Since the reagan era, they've shifted, or are working to shift, any and all all the risk of doing business to the customer, or the civic society. Something's gotta give.

Anyone wanna give me money to start/buy a Tiki bar in my little (readopted?) hometown? Because the Mai Tai i just ordered had day glow cherries and orange juice in it. It tasted like a delicious ice cold early evening brain freeze rum headache. But it was not a mai tai.

it's been 30 years since I moved out of my parents house. House in SF had a stoop. CLE had a porch but it was bleak and most winter. Chapel Hill had a dining porch, but no front. Nothing in DC or Cbus. This is the first house I've had a good front porch. And it is glorious.

A friendly reminder to all — off-the record is an agreement between a reporter and a subject. It’s not like calling shotgun in a car. If you say “Off the record, that guy’s an asshole,” without the reporter agreeing to anything, then your quote will be “Off the record, that guy’s an asshole.”

If you’re following the columbus city Flock story… an internal audit that didn’t find one officer searching one plate over and over either didn’t happen, or … I’ve spent enough time with big data to know you could probably see that pattern. simply visually scanning a data file.

When you’re moving, you find some amazing stuff. Stuff you forgot you ever had. Like this cookbook that is the greatest cookbook I have ever owned.
A vintage cookbook cover titled “Favourite British Sausage Recipes: Tasty Meals with the great British Banger.” The cover features an old-fashioned farmyard illustration with pigs, chickens, and two harnessed horses standing near a barn. Why does it have horses? Why? We need to know.
