That assumes the other guy isn't good. Advice like this seems to me to be for a group of candidates that are about equal.

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I one time pretended not to know what Yale was and boy, was that guy offended. I mean, he was in Harvard Square for Head of the Charles, so I don't know why he thought he was amongst friendlies. I can still hear him sputtering, "But it's *Yale*!!!"

Citi raised my APR again. It isn't based on anything I've done with them. I've kept up. It's based on my credit score. My behavior hasn't changed except that I'm paying them hundreds in interest. It's bullshit is what it is.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

I'm unexpectedly outside among the greenery, just sitting in a chair and it occurred to me that I don't know how to just *be* outside anymore. But then I remembered I was like this in my 20s, too, so whew.

I think I might have pneumonia. I got a cold last month. And I got better except I've had a cough ever since. When I was in urgent care for something else, I asked about it and they said allergies. Last week, my doctor said to take Mucinex. Now it sounds like I've got crackles in my chest.

"Benches are where optimistic visions of civic life meet reality. To remove them, or to curate who gets to sit, is to abandon the work of defining a civic ideal and determining, together, how to live up to it." NEW: Why benches are slowly disappearing from public spaces — and why we need them back:
placesjournal.org
The Disappearance of the Public Bench
Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

I now only have $20 Uber cash that can only be used on UberEats that still won't show up when I check out. Good job, I'll be eating a wholesome meal I make at home and have still never ordered from UberEats.
Side by side comparison of two screenshots of my phone, one taken at 8:08, the other taken at 8:09. Left pic is on a checkout and under Payment, it says Uber Cash: $0.00. It gives the option to add a promo code. It says Subtotal: $33.90. Uber One Credits -$1.45. Delivery fee is a crossed out 49 cents replaced with a zero. Other fees line has a crossed out $7.80 replaced with $4.23. Taxes are $3.01. Total has a crossed out $45.20 replaced with $39.69. It says "Saving $5.51 with Uber One"

Right pic shows my Uber balances as $41.45. It lists Uber One credits as $1.45. It lists Promotion - Uber Eats Only as $40.00 and there is a note that says $20.00 expires tomorrow. Other otpions

Okay #UberEats, you almost got me. You said I had $40 in Uber Eats money only and half of it expired today. Let's have some pizza. Except when I went to pay, it says I have no Uber cash at all. Unless I go into my account and then it is still there. Just no way to use it. And half an hour later,
