Goldbelly should do an ad that’s the reverse of that old Pace Picante “New York City?!” ad where some inferior bagels turn out to be from “Paris, Texas?!”

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

this is the point I keep making and I don’t want to be making it but it’s correct no matter how much the opposition sucks and how much this feels like the same old uninspiring message, the danger of letting Republicans hold power is getting worse they are bad and must be defeated every time

Crossbows were very popular among the Finns, used to hunt squirrels. They had blunt headed bolts so as not to damage the pelt. “Squirrel furs were used as currency. We have stopped because it is hard to get them out of the ATM,” she adds, deadpan.

worth pointing out that this complete and utter POS did vote in both 2020 and 2022, so this entire article is not only BS but a demonstrable lie disseminated by the NYT, this is yet another psy op by Sulz to rig the election for the guy who they think will get them better ratings

I think people in general need to understand that consent is "Yes! I want to do this with you!" -- and that consent is NOT "OK, fine" after however much haranguing, whining, badgering, and pleading. Just because you can wear somebody down doesn't mean that what you're doing is actually consensual.

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

But precisely *because* the experience sucks, I don’t think a plug-in hybrid owner’s opinion is a good indicator. The best plug-in Prius has a battery range, of, what, 50 miles? so the ratio of annoyance to miles of range gained is much worse than with a full EV 2/2

I both agree and disagree with you here. I charge my EV (an ID.4) mostly at home. The SoCal fast charging station *distribution* is fine for an occasional mid-trip top-up; but the actual *experience* of charging at a fast charger is — totally unnecessarily — user-hostile dogshit 1/2

One reason to have not stopped wearing a mask, is that every country you think you could escape to, will reject you for being disabled. All of them. Yes, that one too. Each time you get covid, you're making it more likely your supposed safe haven goes "nope. GTFO"

Just saw another display name in "fancy" letters (they look like they're from a typewriter) and you should know that screen readers do not treat those as normal letters and read the whole word. They read the name of each individual character. Every single time.

roberts essentially ignores the purpose of separation of powers, which was not to create entirely separate spheres of action but to prevent the emergence of unchecked authority. instead, he says, separation of powers *demands* unchecked authority.

If you like soft tacos with corn tortillas you will probably like sopes Instead of putting stuff inside a tortilla, you pile it on top of a sope, which is also made of corn masa but is more like a tiny plate with a little lip around the edge, so it has structural integrity
