My experience is people put the doodoo doggie bag in my bin after it has been emptied by the garbage truck—but before I’ve brought it into the garage.

Your poll is missing the obvious answer. If the trash has not yet been picked up, go right ahead. If it has been picked up, then put it somewhere else; don’t inflict the smell of your dog’s poop on someone else.

If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot... It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both state chambers.

James Zahn, @therockfather.bsky.social, is editor of the trade publication The Toy Book. He predicts we’ll start to see much higher prices and empty shelves in the toy aisle by Halloween. A word to the wise: Shop soon for the kiddos in your life. www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

Toymakers are in limbo with uncertain trade policy
As many as 80% of the toys we buy in the U.S. are manufactured in China. The trade war will likely speed up the shift to those other countries.

Important reading! “It is in America’s interest to reverse course immediately and rebuild the crucial infrastructure needed to detect and respond to outbreaks. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it also makes economic sense.”

At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in tax returns from billionaires exceeds the combined sum of every scam in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc you've ever heard by FAR. It's not even close.

Not that it had anything to do with the accident… but since he’s blaming DEI… you might want to know that Drumpf actually was the one who opened the door to hiring diverse air traffic controllers. Gift article. wapo.st/3Cy3Pc6

Analysis | Trump launched air controller diversity program that he now decries
At a news conference, Trump read a list of conditions he called disqualifying, but his administration started such hiring in 2019.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz last year, spoke out on Facebook.
I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it.
Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk.
A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

AG Garland has a duty to release the #JackSmith report and we deserve the opportunity to read it! Please contact the Department of Justice to request its release! DoJ email 📧contact page: www.justice.gov/doj/webform/... DoJ Comment📱Line: 202-353-1555 #ReleaseTheJackSmithReport
Liz Cheney: While Donald Trump and Barry Loudermilk continue to spread malicious lies about the 1/6
Select Committee, Trump is trying yet again to hide evidence and suppress the truth. The Justice Department has obtained testimony and evidence from dozens of Trump's former advisors and Vice President Pence showing the danger Trump poses.
Now Trump is already doing what despots do— he is trying to conceal the truth and threatening to jail those who investigated him. The congressional report yesterday destroying Loudermilk's fraudulent allegations shows the despicable malice behind Trump's efforts. AG Garland now has a duty to release the Justice Department Report and prevent its evidence from being destroyed. The truth must prevail. The framers of our Constitution knew the lessons of history — that people led by men without character can quickly lose their freedom.

This is great advice. When Dan Pink researched his book The Power of Regret, he learned that one of the biggest regrets is not going for it. Asking someone out, starting a business, getting the degree. People who tried and failed were way happier than those who didn’t try.

You get a lot more exercise if you use your face. 🤣 #exercise #hiking
TIP: As you walk down a trail, use a stick to make first contact with spiderwebs. You can also use your face. Do what feels right.
