Correct.
Just a thought: educate people, give them healthcare, and make sure they have an affordable place to live?
Some of whom are actually adults, unlike Gav.

Yeah that's what I gathered. Glad NoHo is still a thing. Holy moly, though, riding my bike to hang out with friends and drink beer and watch amazing racing in Providence back in the day was such a treat.
Where are the big events now? I remember we used to get Helen Wyman &c in friggin' Providence, but those days are gone. Not just because she retired.
Obviously this needs to be the name of a bar but should it be in Mount P or Petworth?
I forget my history š
Peeps really need to relearn the fine art of throwing rotten fruit.
Sent.
Yeah thatās fair. Iāve always found it kind of curious, honestly. I really donāt know much about her. BTW, noticed you got a shoutout in Bill McKibbenās newsletter today. š
Thatās good! I donāt know her and Iām glad to hear that.
I know a lot of people who know her. Iāve never met anyone who likes her.
License to caffeinate.
Just passed a car with a frayed Crested Butte sticker and it read as ārested buttā and that is WAY more my speed, people.
It's a tie between Joe Strummer in Mystery Train and Jefferson Starship in The Star Wars Holiday Special.
In November of 2020 we walked down Connecticut Ave with the horns blaring and people banging spoons against pots and champagne being passed around, and posed for pictures in front of Comet Ping Pong. And that was NOTHING.
āBut sir, obituaries arenāt even ON the front page!ā āThis one will be.ā
Bruce Banner can hook you up.
I insist on gamma-irradiated kale for my smoothies. Itās the only known source of adamantium.
Dilithium crystal hot pockets canāt be far behind.
Where. The fuck. Is the cesium coming from? You might as well have carrots contaminated with the unobtanium from the Avatar movies.
The single biggest reason Marco Rubio is a giant stinky turd is that, were he at state during, say, the second Romney administration, these people wouldāve been welcomed with open arms.
Iām sickened by this shit.
Someone needs to take away all the psychedelics from Silicon Valley. It is irresponsible to use them without proper training in the humanities
I love how the context is the recent AJC announcement and not the force of nature that Lewis Grizzard was.
Ironically the second baby boom would please so many of his supporters.
āHerp derp live free ār die mofos!ā (washes questionably-sourced opioid tablet down with jƤgermeister)
Fuckin New Hampshire though.
I live there! Except when I donāt. My life is a bit weird. š
Ooh must try. Itās funny; the locations are basically equidistant from me but the MP one means I gotta schlep down and up outta the RCP ravine on the bike and GP just feels closer.
Earthworm Jim dude is a hardcore wingnut, incidentally.
And of course Iām incredibly privileged to be able to do this stuff, and I know Iām not alone in being exhausted by everything, but itās still an incredible sense of relief.
Iām just exhausted. The big stupid bill did incalculable damage to the company I work for and weāve been struggling simply to keep people employed. Many long hours. And of course, the news. Iām going to see my sis and her hubs, and GFās folks, and sit by the pool, and sip rosĆ©.
Iām going to France in 48 hours. Iāve never been happier to go to France. And I go to France fairly often, since we have family there, and also I like France, and Iām always happy to go there, but BLESSED JEEBUS I am happy to be leaving the states for a week.
hard to disentangle āFriday before holiday weekendā from ācity under siegeā and its kinda messing me up
I say this as someone who has hired at least dozens, maybe hundreds, of people in my career. It sucks for *everyone.*
I once got a rejection from a company because the position was located in the town I lived in and they wanted a local. The same company sent me a second rejection letter a month later so I replied that having already been rejected once helped mitigate my sense of disappointment. Hiring is broken.
conservatives love having cool beliefs like āpolitical ideology is geneticā
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donāt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
The triple-refusal was impressive!
Truly one of GenX's worst. And that's saying a LOT. Good riddance.
you mean "we're all going to die" wasn't polling well?
Atlanta is spending a few million in taxpayer dollars to stand up a grocery store in a food desert which will provide multiple types of ROI, DC Mayor and council are spending over a billion dollars of our taxpayer dollars for a giveaway to billionaires for their toy sportsball stadium.
sure, you can give the january sixer a military burial. give her the same one the red army gave the german head of state in 1945.
Well Iām apparently āwhisking together a vinaigrette earns you Fitbit zone minutesā years old. Howās everyone else doing?
Ah man, I miss it! back in a few weeks.
It's the last #MBTpubroll of the summer, so we're going to Island Time! Starting at 5:30, then cruising upriver to Mr. Smith's. We love DC, we fight for home rule, and we will celebrate joy #FreeDC š²šļøš»
His favorite meal is a plump boy named Jack.
Notice how this guy and his defenders never make this argument about crime, a thing most DCers don't notice at all but nevertheless something they think we should all be hysterical about. I can't qwhite put my finger on it š¤
"Got any relevant experience whatsoever?" "None, sir." "Good man. The job is yours."
But why would you want to look in the mirror every morning, see *that* and live longer?
My local grocery just hired an armed guard to check receipts at the door and I was reminded that if you see someone stealing food no you fucking didn't.
I, for one, WELCOME our new shipborne overlords.
ICE agents in DC today appear to be focusing on the North Capitol Street corridor. One is wearing a Texas-themed hat and a āthin blue lineā patch that says SEND ME. Again: Keep an eye out for an unmarked black Ford truck with the Texas plate NTV9211.
Mr. Yeast and it's a guy who traps people in a brewery and gives them 100 days to make an IPA that doesn't suck for 1 million dollars.
The Florida government has signed contracts with at least $245 million of taxpayers' money for this this short-lived un-American photo-op cruelty.
Not that this has a chance in hell of passing, but what difference do body cams make? We've got footage of everything that's going on. It's blatantly illegal. We know who these people are; they're not going around masked. But in the absence of enforcement of the law, this is meaningless.

All that talk about "what are the politics of Bluesky?" over the last several days and the one thing I think we can agree on is we all hate GenAI.
Low battery reports, by device: - MacBook Pro: THIS MACHINE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 5... 4... - MacBook Air: Oh it's cool, man, whenever you get around to it.
Boy howdy, though, traditional Lyonnaise cuisine? I've had several of the best meals of my life in that city and the one time I went for the classic Bouchon fare, let's just say it was not one of those meals. š¬
Gee, I wonder if there's a less fraudulent, wasteful, and/or abusive way to do this.
A place in Paris wouldn't let me order it until I tasted a sample.
Worth noting that the banner was usually Checkov's gun: hung in the first act to be torn down in the third.
Movies, cartoons, comics, music videos: portraits of the tyrant on buildings, and troops patrolling the streets = the hero lives in bad times.
I canāt help thinking about how, throughout the twentieth century, imagery like this was an easy establishment shortcut in visual depictions of dystopian futures.
I figured nobody else would've done that one.

I mean, am I wrong?
Weāre being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.
Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is headed to the Ocean State, likely to spout talking points about how Trump is āputting workers first.ā She should try telling that to the thousands of union workers who Trump just fired through his stop-work order on a nearly complete wind farm in Rhode Island.
Absolute trash human beings.
ruh-roh @wvistheduck.bsky.social
No, it's not any of that. It's the guns.
Pretty sure it's both.
I once came up with a list of the various social networks as "[blank] Facebook" and "self-loathing Facebook" was my name for LinkedIn.
I admire your pluck. I avoid that place like the plague.
Yeah don't threaten me with a good time, guys.
This being new construction in NoMa, we hope the building is still standing in 10 years, but otherwise, sounds great! š¬
This is sick freak shit to say and it's alright to point that out
This x every government agency. When I need to look up a statistic for whatever reason and the first search result is a .gov, I scroll until I see something credible.
ooof. yeah.
idk they aren't trained in woodpecker control.
I know. Anytime I @ reply to an account with big follow numbers I get a lot of "OH BUT" replies. Or people who miss the joke. Or worse, explain my joke to me, not realizing it was a joke. Just chilllll...
Fiyahhh!
Zillow! You have bested me again!
A beer and a shot from me if you're on a DC grand jury that returns a no bill.
Your WHOLE BELLY gon get 'et.
Breakfast Club host Charlamagne says of Hakeem Jeffries: "I call him AIPAC Shakur." "I just don't think he stands for anything."
Hard disagree. Boston is an extremely dangerous place to be, if you're a charcuterie plate.
Even as I was hitting send I thought this an unnecessarily complicated solution.
Can you find a jar of powdered lipase? Add 1/2 tsp or whatever to the wash? š¤
I think heās going to get reelected maybe just a little bit.
Watch this. Be soothed.
Urban camo in DC these days is more like baggy pants and graphic tees but they aren't really trying to hide.
Fuck, man. These poor dudes don't train all that regularly. They're gonna have sore backs.
A bunch of guys wearing high visibility vests over full camouflage is a sight gag that would make Mel Brooks jealous š¤£
Dude that coke can had been sitting there for an hour and a half.
