I DON'T KNOW. BECAUSE IT REALLY HELPS.
I will also add that most Americans don't use it correctly
Interesting! In the US, "tabling" is usually short for "laying something in the table until a specific time," which means you're actually postponing it. Unless it's "tabling it indefinitely" which means you've effectively killed the motion.
This is so fucking creepy.
Resist that impulse.
It's all a damn coin-toss these days, bc the wrinkled old kumquat in charge has tumbleweeds in his brain and sewage in his heart
American parliamentary procedure nerd & governance manager here: I think "tabling" must mean something different from how I would use it. Can you please explain?
It would be interesting to know if anyone in Congress was doing this...
Interesting! How does that work?
A friend had an emergency appendectomy last night. I feel like by the time you're in your 50s you shouldn't have to worry about that.
Bananas, man.
Super-stoked to start whacking people with sandwiches.
Do you want the government to have the patents on things like medicines & technology? That might not turn out so well.
He really does think it's actual gold, doesn't he? Pitiful.
Big if true.
Tale as old as time...
Oh my God. They actually REFERENCE Apple. I guess Tim's little golden offering really pleased him.
Damn. I've been in DC in the summer, and it sure didn't look like that.
Thousands of ICE agents are doing a lot more damage to our social fabric than millions of undocumented immigrants.
They put Gym Jordan on the record on television to support a convicted child rapist & trafficker's opinion about a man we've seen & heard abuse women for 40 years. Republicans, man. They do not fucking care about you or anyone else.
But, um, isn't the bridge already fixed?
I'm listening. Go ahead.
been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign
YA THINK?
I wish you a bountiful harvest!
Are there any science folks out there who can opine with expertise on whether painting something black when it's already metal & gonna absorb heat no matter what will make it hotter?
My mouth actually watered.
People shouting how great AI is but NEVER ONCE in my life of searching "(movie name) review" have I tapped anything higher than 6th or 7th of the things shown to me. I go to THE SAME PLACES time after time, & yet I STILL have to scroll to find them so fuck you & your algorithms & your bullshit.
Hey, folks! Time to learn some useful Spanish: *¿Como se llama? (What's your name?) *¿A quién puedo llamar? (Who can I call?) *¿Cuál es el número? (What's the number?) *¿Está herido? (Are you hurt/injured?)
"(Detective) Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks." I hope all the PDs in Texas are boning up on castle doctrine, bc this is gonna happen again & it's gonna be a big ol' mess. www.khou.com/article/news...
Man, you can practically hear the sobs of all the CA educators who have to give up their dreams of teaching in the next-to-worst school system in the country. 🙄 www.latimes.com/california/s...
This is actually hilarious.
Solid advice.
Don't bogart that leadership.
Was the something "disgust?"
Before you roll your eyes at what a Gen Xer tells you, remember that we're the science-based generation. Nuclear energy. The space program. Vaccines. Computers. We learned actual facts in school, before that became "un-American" or "woke."

I miss Scully & Mulder. #FBI
You could design a better logo if you through a sharpie at the wall.
I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.
We had a great run...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Get in line, lady. 😉
Texas State Rep. Collier says she's forced by police to abruptly hang up a press call: "I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this. Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom."
Even if they were, solar panels are usually pretty easy to control.
This is how much 🍊 respects law enforcement.
When women are afraid, they seek ways to make people safer. When men are afraid, they're ashamed of feeling afraid, so they seek to make everyone else afraid, too.
WBNA scores & articles randomly pop up on my feeds. I'm totally not a sports person, but I still like seeing that. Go get it, ladies.

Yes. And?
I used to be a bartender. I've done that. You don't have to have a badge for that.
Lovely essay.
We can all use it right now. Nearly non-existent IRL.
Marco's Botox is bananas.
Marco Rubio walks into a bar and the bartender says "Nope!"
Okay, excellent. I've never seen this, always meant to. So, I could watch it first in reg form, then watch again with your insights! Very excited.
Sir. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Same, friend.
Introducing Tío Tomás...
Tío Tomás.
Sometimes there are so many you can SMELL them.
youtu.be/92LlMDeTv50?...
Sure, okay.
Now what I want more than anything is for Gavin Newsom to win the NPP.
Omigoodness, that made me happy. Doc Severinson playing They Might Be Giants. Amazing. (Also - I still know every word of that song, which is also amazing but for different reasons.)
Hot as a pistol. Okay, Mildred Vladimirovich. Whatever.
I worked the front desk at a hotel when I was in college, and swing was when I wasn't in class or sleeping, so that's when I worked. I do not miss that.
Are you, Brian? Are you SURPRISED?
😂
Not for nothing, that sounds terrible.
Yeah, it sucks. People think they don't need sunshine until they can't get any & become mole monsters. 💀
Thank goodness for kittehs. Hang in there, y'all. 🤜🏼
The shift that fucked me up the most was swing. 3:00 - 11:00 or around there - no one's circadian rhythm likes that.
Crickets are a balm for the soul. (The sound, I mean. Not cricket season when 9 gazillion of them show up at your HEB.)
Morning is nice, tho. It's not too hot, the night-blooming flowers still smell good, birds are chirping. I'm in a nice nightie. I can have coffee and still sleep that night. I just like it. And the light in the morning...the light! So nice.
I get to meet my friends' new kitten today. It's the little things, y'all.
Agree. We've all been through wanting someone bc we couldn't have them. I don't know any long-term happy couples who had that much drama - who can live like that?
I'm 60 & never married - bc I looked at myself honestly & understood that I'm happier as a solo flyer. I don't find it poignant or weighty - I'm proud I stopped dragging myself & the men I dated through my own confusion & got honest about what I wanted. I'm sorry they couldn't also see & show that.
Look at him. So excited to see his buddy. Pathetic.
It's always been the off-key note in this series for me. Loved the friendships, the clothes, the NYC-ness of it all. But eventually it would always come down to men (except for our shero Samantha) and that gets pretty boring.
I reckon we all need to start throwing sandwiches.
Right? Riots in the streets!
For fucking fuck's sake, this is not how any of this works.
It varies wildly - depends on how long you need to charge, where the charger is (there isn't a set rate), etc. but WAY less than a tank of gas.
I'm okay with Gloria.
I got a free charge from an EV station the other day. Was happy the rest of the afternoon.
Have scrolled through all the replies and still have no idea what he's on about.
First rate.
omigod who fucking cares
This is what they want. THEY ARE SAYING IT OUT LOUD. PAY ATTENTION!
🙋🏼 I'll do it! Gimme a white wig and a suit and I'm down!
Gotta check all the Teslas for terrorists.
The "legal writing" these people crap out is mortifying.
Why would anyone *want* to be part of that? How broken must you be to get excited about the idea of treating other humans like shit?
Yep. We remember. Also, go fuck yourself.
Photogenic snoozing.
Fritillary is one of the best words.
I left NYC more than 30 years ago and I can still remember the relief of not panicking about where to live, and I know it's even worse now.
