No means no. The inability to say yes = no. Yes but now they say no = no. Clothing choice is not a yes. Consumption is not a yes. Men, police this shit.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

Thank you so much for the wonderful conversation! I was sorry I didn't ask you for a copy of the book before we finished the table talk. I didn't find the right table at ACC but I found your publisher's website and have ordered the EPUB. Thanks again and I wish you all the luck!

Thank you. Jefferies is LITERALLY DOING HIS JOB. You can't get mad at people for not doing enough and for doing everything they can all at that same time. Well, you can but you shouldn't.

True, I'm just saying that the USPS can mess with delivery in both directions. Makes it difficult to run good elections.

You are forgetting that those of us in states which SOLELY vote by mail have to RECEIVE our ballots by mail in order to vote them, even if we return them to a drop box.

Rooting for the Red Sox would be incredibly difficult unless you moved to the heart of Boston for a time...absolutely true. :) Still, overall, I'm very disappointed in our generation.

I understand that it's hard to flip teams but disagree that you are born into conservativism. It does take being willing to be different and a willingness to keep your eyes open and willing to take in different information.

See, when I think back to high school, I am completely mystified! I don't get it. How did we end up with so many not understanding or paying attention?

Unfortunately, a good result for a bad reason. Like @kimberleelynn.bsky.social, I hate the bribery but the illnesses are worse so I thank the bribe payer in this case.

How did the announcers not mention this on the baseball game (men's) I watched last night? Seems like a massive oversight...

I'm unclear, why is the word 'allegedly' in this sentence? He was found guilty and the Supreme Court just up-held that. He sexually assaulted and defamed.

This is exactly right, I witnessed it in a small town in Wisconsin. It was very disturbing to see/learn as a child who visited that town for a week each year. It was so clear that even a child recognized and asked what happened. The whole town was decimated - wiped out the whole downtown.

I am American and lived and worked in the UK for 3 years. I absolutely still use zed and will sometimes use ise (instead of ize). Mostly I do it to remind Americans that there are other cultures out there. :)

My senior year of college, I wrote a huge paper on the intertwining of the Spanish, Jewish, and Muslim cultures in Spanish historical law. There is a lot there! I would have loved to listen to your daughter. Glad you were there!

I have a theory. I think he feels safe and can relax when he is surrounded by people who say ridiculously nice/flattering things. So, that's when he can sleep.

By not responding they leave it to be interpreted exactly as it sounds. To be clear, I don't doubt that Trump means that he doesn't ever think or care about any American's financial situation (other than his own). But there is a context spin for this that could be employed to mitigate damage.

shepow.bsky.social @shepow.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
The crazy thing is, there IS a way to spin this and make it make sense. It's actually pretty easy. I am struggling to understand the GOP ducking any/all opportunities to spin this.

As suspending the federal gas tax gains traction in Washington, a prescient reminder from our Senior Fellow @pkrugman.bsky.social: gas tax holidays are largely a windfall for producers that barely move prices at the pump for the consumers suffering from inflation.
"Now suppose that we were to cut gasoline taxes. If the price of gas at the pump were to fall, motorists would buy more gas. But there isn't any more gas, so the price at the pump, inclusive of the lowered tax, would quickly be bid right back up to the pre-tax-cut level. And that means that any cut in taxes would show up not in a lower price at the pump, but in a higher price paid to distributors. In other words, the benefits of the tax cut would flow not to consumers but to other parties, mainly the domestic oil refining industry. (As the textbooks will tell you, reducing the tax rate on an inelastically supplied good benefits the sellers, not the buyers.)" — Quote from Paul Krugman.

I can't get past the part where you have to proactively reach out to *get* a mail-in ballot in states that don't run elections entirely by mail-in. It's a premeditated choice. I understand that someone else made that call for him (as he's so busy), this isn't a game day decision anyone can make.

No, he's right, this is not a voting barrier it is a full system, all levels barrier for women. He's absolutely on board with women having harder lives and this is just one more aspect of life that we women need to accept as our responsibility to do more. /s
