And yet this is the person that told you not to fill out that form to win that Mustang at the mall when you were 12 because they were just gonna send you mailers.

Do I know anyone that lives in Alabama? Particularly near Huntsville?

@reckless.bsky.social No link to the survey in the podcast notes, hard to catch the url at 2.8x

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

Phony Bennett would be pretty chuffed

I said what I said

Budowich: The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America. This decision is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press' commitment to misinformation. While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One. Going forward, that space will now be opened up to the many thousands of reporters who have been barred from covering these intimate areas of the administration. Associate Press journalists and photographers will retain their credentials to the White House complex.

This is a high ranking US official, a DCOS, retaliating against a news wire over an (objectively correct) editorial decision.

@reckless.bsky.social Just got my copy of the magazine, excited. Quick question, why the "Or Current Occupant" line on the address label? Is that just boilerplate on any bulk mail? Cuz like, this is mine. Not anyone else's.

"President Donald Trump and his sidekick Elon Musk..."

WMRA News really pulling up the sharp elbows this morning. 🤣

Given the popularity among legislators and the central conceit of "skill games" surely there's a large contingent of Virginians that are making a living at these games, yes? Years of practice netting a tremendous talent that outpaces the challenge and nets a regular and substantial return?

@erinscafe.bsky.social don't know if you check this but it's movie night and kids were watching trailers to help decide and I heard Buster planning a camper in Antarctica and now we're watching the Paul Walker vehicle eight below and I am crying

@chrisvfeil.bsky.social I have never been so upset than listening to the Love Actually episode! Did you not listen to the Richard Curtis commentary?!? He explains so much! Atkinson is an angel. The quarter zip was an outtake! Dido is in the wedding scene! Blargh!!

Every so often I see Toscano around town and think, oh yeah, I remember him.

All this to celebrate a birthday with my guy at Hamilton.

Not on my bingo card for tonight's travel from Cville to Philly: The train catching fire several times, getting moved to a different train, having my ever optimistic son delight in the business class seats we moved into.

I remember when we used to laugh at tweets. *Sobs into afternoon stress coffee*

Bennett and Carl Dean are very good dogs

Last night I listened to a former Pence staffer talk about the rightward swing of Latino men and how this was a miss for Democrats.

Fragile masculinity is colorblind.

I was not surprised that the nation was too sexist and too racist to elect Secretary Clinton in 2016. Surprising then that I'm surprised today.

People just really hate women, and immigrants, and trans people. Let’s try to survive and find joy both for ourselves, and to spite them.

I'm with you. It's gonna be a sad four years. And angry. And exhausting.

i really thought this country would say no. instead, it shouted yes

@darthbluesky.bsky.social Darth, just wanted to introduce you to Carl Dean, our new Aussiedoodle. They tell me it's a dog. I think it's a Tanooki.

Here's the PDF, docs.fcc.gov/public/attac... and headline.

Hello, yes, I'd like an eight episode limited run podcast series that gets optioned for a movie, but eventually becomes a series on Hulu. Cuz, like, there's no way this isn't a story worth telling.

I was off the internet for two hours and I'm lost.

Albemarle officials bash 'nakedly partisan screed' against ranked-choice voting Like its neighbor Charlottesville, the county is considering adopting the voting method.

One more for the, hell yeah. Supes call BS on GOP election official's unhinged nonsense.
