One time many years ago I was flying with a head cold and the airplane pressure change was so bad I felt like my head was going to burst especially from my ears and I was in such visible pain that the flight attendant gave me some ear drops that they apparently have on hand to release the pressure.

UAW will have more grad student workers than auto workers
Screaming slurs, throwing headsets, and ragequitting when the plane fails to execute the requested barrel roll.
IRGC no longer asking for alt text
To be fair, there is at least one DSA Caucus this could describe.
Muslims care more about crimes against Muslims. Arabs care more about crimes against Arabs. Western Christians care more about crimes against victims which can be read or related to as Western-ish Christian. Thus a crime against a relatable symbol hits more than crimes against actual Arab Xians.
Dems think they can pick the perfect candidate or the perfect message that can’t, just physically can’t be twisted or misconstrued. Yet every time, the RW uses its agency to make even milquetoast seem extreme & scary. There is nothing that cannot be Swift-Boated! www.npr.org/2024/08/09/n...
Centrists don’t want to believe in RW agency, partly b/c they mirror-image their own lack of vision, but also b/c they want an excuse to reject progress w/o doing it openly (“I agree but think of the reaction!”). Meanwhile it’s been decades of calculated RW scheming www.avclub.com/david-brock-...
The Critical Race Theory panic is a perfect example of something that was manufactured but which centrist liberals pretend was an organic reaction to leftist overreach. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
Tbh it is simple: the right is successful because a small group of people have spent a LOT of money employing a lot of people in think tanks, research, advocacy, media, law, & elsewhere to develop and press successful reactionary strategies. Organized money *is* the just-so story that is true.
There’s no crying in the Skyclub
It’s going to take him a while to charge MPD and the rest of the public safety portfolio which until this year was run by Katie Cashman.
Definitely some stellar Sea Lions.
I’m sure that means it’s ended entirely and not just moved to a new location.
While we’re at it restoring freedom to the Joint Force, bring back 1-year enlistments which allow you to go home in the middle of a campaign.
Is establishing freedom in the Joint Force a goal? Like true freedom where following orders is optional?
How about we just cut the mayor in half instead?
My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so l asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.
Minneapolis needs an escalating Vacancy Tax now
People really thought we would play the Detroit Tigers every single game for the rest of the season.
Perhaps employed to confuse and scare off predators?
The best PM would thus be a true poster, forged in the fire of the worst forum flame wars and social media pile-ons. What could the right honorable twit from North Dipswitch say that BronzeAgeRapist1488 couldn’t?

G.I. Joe!
Maybe it’s changed with age, but when I was younger and had a job that required me to stand all shift, I found that it was like a muscle you could train into. The pain diminished with practice. That and standing on a pad rather than hard surfaces, which is why I freak out when I see workers without.
Was getting mad about turning back on Julie Le a civility scold thing or does this moderate actually support Le?
Moments before disaster
Was on the list before, now it’s bumped up towards the top.
