Say what you will about Henry Kissinger, but the man did, in fact, know what a marathon negotiation was. This fuckin lightweight. Jesus.
I voted for Gallego, of course, and in the last few months he's had a moment or two, but overall his term so far has been deeply underwhelming.
Which is not great news for our ability to keep to Ds in the Senate from this state.
Tim. Think about what you have done.
"Complex carbohydrate" what's that a french fry with feelings
Reminder that these people think that automatic voter registration is a socialist plot to take over the country.
Mitch McConnell is a world-historic coward and villain comfortable in his belief that neither the world nor history will remember who he was
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.
Yeah because I tried Mastodon in good faith and it was the social media experience of eating bran flakes while being glowered at by an angry German
You can't get half the cabinet to tell him he gave them shoes that are three sizes too big. The 25th is nothing but a dream unless he's rendered unconscious for at least two weeks, and even then I'm not sure we don't just get Edith Wilson and Cary Grayson running the country.
By all accounts she's won at life itself.
rare to find a sentence containing two true sins of contemporary usage—“You could gift a pair, and it would feel impactful.”
No contest.

Words I actually said to my parents:
I’m having a heart attack. Don’t worry, I’m already in an ambulance; I’ll be fine.
There are more people in Los Angeles County than there are in Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Idaho, and West Virginia _combined_.
3/We are the very logical end of the Reagan Revolution, but it is the part of the Revolution were everyone is being guillotined.
TUS is like that too. From parking the car to at the gate, including checking a bag, in under 15 minutes
Meanwhile bike fuel prices have not changed at Costco.
Something something destroy the village to save it.
I heard a Kubernetes joke and would have shared it with Ian, but I looked it up and Ian wrote it.
I'm gonna get kicked out of the club but I have to speak my truth here.

Nails on a chalkboard with a screaming baby in the background while getting a root canal.
I mean, the *entire* point of their endorsement of Cuomo was that he's a ruthless operator who would Get Things Done. 🤷♂️
Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes
This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names.
Good on Amy and Ed.

I worked in IT for 40 years. I've been retired for a year and 13 days, and I have not written a single line of code- or even remotely wanted to- since that last day.
It was a job, i loved doing it, and it turned out to be lucrative. But it wasn't my life and now it's over and done.
