Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
oh, good. we weren't sure! (do people really think this?)
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
leaves out an important detail... you need 4m ceilings so you can have the fancy ladder that runs on the metal track...
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li)
I suppose this makes sense. one home at that price point isn't likely to put out locals...
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
are you bag-shaming Larry?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
"ubiquituos" is that French?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
did you bring him tasty bits of chimken?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
yup. this stage of capitalism makes ethical consumption difficult for everyone.

Just added a few more keywords to be filtered. don't need to see any more LLM output. what a crappy timeline!

the real question is "who is surprised?" it's all "move fast; break things" and the "break things" part usually means "I got mine so eff you."
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
Just do it. most will welcome the engagement.

wow. bsky labeled a pair of underwear as "adult content."

thanks for sharing. now shut up and watch the show. it's clear you haven't seen it before.

go answer the survey (it's a qualtrics hosted survey). unsure if this will go anywhere but it took me about a minute to complete on a tablet.

I can't believe that I have to read all this and will probably *still* have questions about whether or not my planned purchases will have tariff exposure. hts.usitc.gov

they'll certainly claim that if you seld-attest wrt eligibility then you will be guilty of insurance fraud (!) :(

I still have one of those too. that, and a coffee mug (one with old name, and one with new name). I liked the old name together. shame I couldn't get the old domain name...

does *anyone* who isn't Lindsey Graham take him seriously?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
so you're saying that you just had to be hot and not all geared up?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
I'm sure this is part of the confusion.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
The last line of this article is the most important: “I don’t know anybody who’s not confused.”

why isn't it the case that, for every repainted crosswalk, two other crosswalks get the rainbow treatment? I know this isn't sustainable but I'd love to see those cops use up all those resources policing it all.

when you tell us all to go to your website to buy tickets for your tour but there's nothing there... kathygriffin.com/tour.html @kathygriffin.bsky.social... please fix so I can boost your numbers!
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
yeah. my rx meds are all well under $10/month or over $2000/month. I could probably make those all work with copay cards. but a long term condition makes continuing without insurance risky.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
I've been stockpiling meds for a while. I have about six months of meds at the moment. I won't be Medicare eligible for a few more years.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
as if things weren't shitty enough...
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
sure, but it has an asterisk. what is excluded at the asterisk?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
the downside is that these clowns will continue to act first and then ask later. the settlement has to be significant enough to deter further bullshit.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li)
it's true!
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
there'll be a whole Bordeaux aisle soon enough (you'll find it next to the oreos).
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
well, sure. "distinctive" gives them no room to improvise by adding thousands of flavors that nobody asked for!

I sure she does. I'm sure he doesn't.

because people can have more than one discipline where they are an expert.

I'm likely as old as you are. this is how people dress in California. I did that myself for thirty years. he's being genuine and you can't even manage to show your face on social media. sit down.

Sadly you can't donate unless you're a green card holder. I'm not sure how that makes any sense (LPRs can't vote in the US) but know that Americans who live near the border have donated.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
is this for the next session? I'm still waiting for Hochul to sign a bunch of bills from the last session (among them MAID).

Chris is doing this thing where people respond "why don't *you* run for office?" so he's running for the California Assembly. He can't do it alone, though... he'll need help from us all. @kluweoc.bsky.social Out of state contributions are welcome. (Yes, it's through act blue but...)
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
ok. done. act blue is slow af right now. hope this is a response to your campaign. (I'll fight the email spam when it happens).
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
I don't argue with them. I just mark them down for not following instructions. life is too short.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
are out of state contributions welcome? and... is it act blue collecting the funds?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
what if someone doesn't use meta services? (we are on bsky...)
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
I think she needs more wine!
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
when you must describe things as "reusable" and "fully reusable" people should have questions...
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
really?
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
of course, all of this ignores the fact that (most of the time) internet petitions are bullshit anyway.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent

spent some time this morning writing Yelp! reviews for two local businesses. One is brand new, and one had no reviews before I wrote mine. I'm sure I'll be punished for this somehow.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
perhaps, but at pride it will certainly cost less!
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
I think Jeffries has been a *huge* disappointment. I absolutely do prefer that younger candidates land in leadership positions but they must *lead* and he seems to be showing his true colors wrt Mamdani.

the point was attention. nobody would. have known this was happening if they didn't leave and make a big scene.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
why do we have to pay for security for a half dozen baby mommas and their spawn? this is ridiculous.
Henry Mensch (@hcm.li) reply parent
will this differentiate between librarything and tinycat? I've been using librarything for ages but never managed to differentiate between the two.

well, there is always one who. hasn't seen it before I haven't seen this before. (I didn't need to see. it, but...). I perhaps would have noticed the belly vs 6pack. At the end of the day there's nothing new under the sun.

so this sounds like nobody bought her dumb-ass book. This makes all the sense in the world.

nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/08/18/f... It's bullshit. Civil disobedience means something specific and people who engage in civil disobedience usually suffer consequences. bill these mfs for all the books, place liens on their properties when they fail to pay.

"In a statement, Newsmax did not admit any wrongdoing. It maintained that its 2020 election coverage was "fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism." Why only $20 million? put these mfs out of business!

I regret not taking *more* history... the only (?) history course I had was the best! taught by a prof who was a civil rights activist back in the day. my BS is basically in "miscellany." (it's an interdisciplinary degree). had more focus for grad school.

you know how this is gonna go, right? they'll settle out of court and every author will get one shiny, new penny (on a visa gift card).
