Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against conservative Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas over their failure to disclose gifts received while serving on the court – a messaging move that will surely fail in the GOP-controlled House.

what do you consider a reasonable amount for a writing session? 500 words? 3000 words? If I can get into an uninterrupted flow state, I find I can rip thru 20+ pages & realize I haven't eaten for hours and the sun is coming up - other times I can't even get 3 paragraphs written.

I don't want Paramount to fail - I have a general warm feeling seeing the paramount logo roll in front of countless movies over years gone by - but I tell you, every time I open the Paramount+ app, it's slow, janky & fucked - it damages the brand b/c it's a shitty platform.

Breathing still feels like a slow asthma issue, but it's way better than even 2 days ago. I was reading that people with asthma may feel diminished lung capacity for weeks after, so I am not freaking out, I kinda expected it.

Europe will get to poke them in the eye for decades to come for crashing out of the EU. The UK will slowly become less relevant globally, and weaker nationally. Unable to deliver services. A sclerotic, zombie state shuffling to each crisis. Ireland is a powder keg. My bet's on entropy.

I was pretty diligent w/ masking but kinda gave up last summer after my family revolted & refused to mask anywhere anymore. Still running an air purifier at work, but with 2 kids in school, that's basically asking for a miracle that 50+ children won't go to class with covid. 😮‍💨

When I was dating my wife I flew down to Wisconsin and we walked past a Piggly Wiggly. I was like "Wait, Piggly Wiggly is real? I thought it was a fake thing mentioned in the movies?!" So we had to go in. My wife still laughs about how absurd it was.

My American friends/fam always get a kick out of it when I drop the occasional Canadian "eh," but it's never a conscious act. The Bob and Doug MacKenzie "hoser accent" is much more of an Ontario thing, but finds its roots in "Olde Englishe," as you say.
