I'll try to make more people buy the ones we have in stock so our reorders will be the new cover.

I'm Chicago-adjacent. It was a high of 85 today with 75% humidity. I would qualify that as "gross".

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

Not to my memory, no. Which (of course) isn't completely probative, and maybe my mom has unshared stories, but it's not a topic that has come up for discussion.

Worst "built different" imaginable and I'm sure I'm jinxing myself but: I've never been that slow or that sick.

Only child here as well, same situation. Occasionally meant cleaning around the toilet if timing/aim was below par, but that was uncommon. Born in upstate NY, lived there until 7, family moved to Chicago, been there since.

Definitely less than X. There's a scene toward the beginning of Maxine walking through an active "adult" set, and the actress involved says hi while she's getting...well, you know. Beyond that, there's nothing that sticks out (pardon the pun).

When that happens, 1 day you might realize that something needs to change. If you're lucky enough, you'll be able to make that change and make it stick. If you knew me then and saw what I was like, I'm sorry you witnessed that, and thank you for sticking around. Fingers crossed, I'll get 25 more.

Today marks 25 years since my last drink. #Sober

If you didn't know me then: I don't think I had a "problem", but the drinking I was doing--had I continued--might have led me to a bad place. My drinking was inherently, purposefully self-destructive. (1/2)

All the commentary is about whether another Democrat could beat Trump, and none about how any other Republican would now be leading Biden by 50 points.

Ok, I need everybody to read Section III-A of Alito's dissent in the Idaho abortion case. He says - explicitly and specifically - that in cases where the amniotic sac breaks before the 24th week of pregnancy, abortions should be prohibited. HE SPECIFICALLY NOTES THE DANGERS. He points out that...

I might argue in favor of Lilith as well, which does in turn say a thing or two about Frasier. I don't know @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social, but she might be able to offer insight.

Importing this @volts.wtf thread from the bad place. It opens with a link to a piece that used official data to establish that yes, crime rates are indeed very much down recently. But here’s the thing, Project 2025’s Trump 2.0 promises to destroy that world in which we can “know” things like this.

It is often said that into each life, a little rain must fall, and this is certainly true. This week, El’Ahrai and John review “The Bikeriders” and “Thelma”! Plus newsbits, video picks, and the usual unusual. You should listen!

Do you know any ten-year-olds? Go look at them. They were born before gay Americans could have their marriages federally recognized. Today is the 9th anniversary of Obergefell. It is that new, it is that fragile, and if the Democrats lose power, it could go away in a blink. Please vote accordingly.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

With Philly still atop the heap, Dallas still capable of being occasionally dangerous, and potential DC improvement with Daniels, should I, a Giants fan, expend a lot of energy getting hyped for their season? (I'll still get hyped for THE season, because all football is great, but...)
