Exotic nightshades from the wilds of South America? Raw? Perish the thought. …I lost count of how many levels of irony I'm on here.

My hypothesis is there was some text string in the Special Counsel file that includes "Hawks" and/or "Hawkeyes", and maybe Schmitt's staff searched the Special Counsel files using an AI prompt asking for evidence Smith was in Georgia, and the AI tool hallucinated the connection

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

T-Rex: Ghosts! Are they real? Science says no, but the headless bride who walks through walls in my house -

T-Rex: - as if following a floor plan that was lost in a past renovation -T-Rex: - says yes!
Dromiceiomimus: How does she say yes without a head?
T-Rex: Sign language.
Dromiceiomimus: Ah.Utahraptor: You know sign language?
T-Rex: Learnt it for the bride.

Utahraptor: Last question: how does she see YOUR signs without a head?
T-Rex: She doesn't, but I trace letters into her palm.
Utahraptor: Okay. Well. I'd love to meet her, if that's okay.
Narrator: THUS:
Off panel: She's nice, but you must get tired of her excusing herself to use the bathroom, then walking through walls to get to it, but that's your kitchen now and then there's ghost pee in the kitchen.
T-Rex: ...Yeah.

women in lower income households participate in the workforce at a rate higher than the population average, making them particularly exposed to the high cost and scant availability of reliable childcare. but this is a policy proposed by Dems so it's a handout to people with master's degrees i guess

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it. A swatch book of solid-colored tweeds. The green tweed has visible flecks of red, gold, and blue.

Tom Bombadil has collected the hobbits’ ponies. After dressing in spare clothes and having a small lunch, they ride north toward the Road with Tom trotting alongside on Fatty Lumpkin. The hobbits now carry ancient daggers from the barrow-hoard as swords.
