When you run for executive you are running to represent everyone in our county. I'm disappointed my opponent rejected an invitation to debate the issues that matter to our African-American neighbors on any one of multiple days offered by the BABJ. It says a lot about her priorities.

“The initial data leak was… 1 million lines of data for Ashkenazi people.” “The information… includes full names, usernames, profile photos, sex, date of birth, genetic ancestry results, and geographical location.” Well, that’s surely not going to be a fucking problem. (sarcastically) 🧪

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.

okay friends, since covid is really taking off again right now, i thought i would do a thread on how not to give it to the people you live with. covid has been in my house *twice* now without spreading to everyone else. it's *hard work* but it's absolutely worth it. thread:

The city of Buffalo and the Buffalo Sabres were so lucky to have someone so beautiful and iconic as Rick Jeanneret. I am so elated that I live in a world where his voice brought so much passion and joy. He was a gift to us. Thank you, Rick.

It's been obvious the last couple times he's been out that Rick Jeanneret wasn't doing great, but he still just felt like someone who was always going to be there, and it's weird to think about that not being the case.

Not sure if you saw this, but I still have this April piece from @daviddewitt.bsky.social on hand. The visceral anger at Ohio legislators is appropriate. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/04/19/t…

These people are the shame of Ohio, and they represent the most feckless, irresponsible, corrupt, contemptible, rigged, un-American, anti-science, anti-fact, anti-intelligence, anti-democracy, anti-voter, and anti-Ohioan general assembly I’ve seen in my lifetime. Which is really saying something.

This rather sucks: apparently the company behind Libby/Overdrive (which is the dominant way to access ebooks etc. through your local library) is now in the hands of the vulture capitalists who took down Toys R’Us. And signs of enshittification are already showing.

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone who didn't go grocery shopping on this a Saturday morning. I dreaded navigating the masses obstructing the aisles of Wegmans, twisting and flowing like some sort of sentient Labyrinth, but the lots were unclogged and halls of produce clear.

I wrote about RFK Jr., antisemitism, and the numbers 14 & 88. read/share: thehandbasket.substack.com/p/rfk-jr…

excerpt from link: And when RFK Jr. dropped by Infowars this year to chat with Alex Jones and explained his various political views, Jones said of his guest, “He’s got 10% to go and he’s Alex Jones.”

As much as it pains me to say it, Jones was right. He saw in RFK Jr. the potential to burrow even farther into the darkest corners of society and team up with the dregs of the Earth in order to gain more power. Game recognize game.

i feel like this statement from Sinead O'Connor is required reading for anyone who has ever seen video of her "controversial" SNL appearance where she ripped up the picture of the pope to protest the church's child sex abuse scandals

I think the phrase “change your underwear” could mean two different things, but in neither case would four months be appropriate. In one case it would be wastefully short. In the other case, it would be shockingly long.

Recently started doing the pour over coffee thing. Once I narrowed down the temperature, gotta say it makes a damn fine cup of coffee.

Threw together some cast iron skillet pizzas last night. "Meat" is Gardein tenders. Cheese is Violife. Pretty great and vegan.

Asking if a menu item is vegan does sound obnoxious but when I ask "This got animal pieces in it?" it gets weird.
