Stamford-Denmark race this weekend!
me too!
~~~sigh~~~ thanks for proving my point.
I usually do Finish or Frog February, but any month is a good time to take a hard look at your pile of WIPs.
The one I usually see causing angst is: Antisemitism exists on the left as well as the right.

It's definitely out there.
A good time for a "this meeting could be an email" assessment of your calendar.
A lot of the conversation around AI has gotten deeply polarizing. A former colleague has a more measured take: www.mikechambers.com/blog/post/20...
Look, I get it, and I agree, but some folks are taking it way way too seriously.
Everyone who thinks the left is immune to propaganda or fantasy just needs to look at the last week of "Trump dead" discussion. We're just as capable of falling into wild conspiracy theory thinking as they are.
Hell even I know that reference.
It’s so stupid.
Exactly. Tiny bits of info out of context being used to justify a belief.
Since I am on an Android phone, no need. Thanks for the offer though.
I am a Pixel gal, but thanks for the info.
Also, very cute cat
Well yes of course, but integration with this app would make it a hell of a lot less annoying
Yes!
Honestly I'd really love it if I could use AI to draft alt text for me when I upload a photo.
I spent the weekend touching grass in the Berkshires and it was wonderful. I love it up there. I even got to see a plane practice landing and taking off on a lake.
Back when I lived in San Mateo you saw people simultaneously complaining their kids couldn't afford to live on the Peninsula while also opposing any new developments.
End of season on the lake.
Up in the Berkshires
Has a lovely walk through the sculpture garden at The Mount today.
Not going to happen in my lifetime. The patriarchy is too baked in.
Given the number of hours in the week people (almost always women) spend on annoying, repetitive household chores are you really that surprised?
Call me when it can sort lights from darks and make sure all lingerie is in a zippered wash bag.
That's delusional.
EOs are not laws.
Every one of you who couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Kamala Harris over Gaza should be deeply ashamed.
This is making my tiny Jewish brain hurt.
One to bookmark
Hopefully that is a step up?
Regular bell peppers (not even organic) have jumped in price a lot. Ditto summer stone fruit.
Mayors and governors have power. Dems in Congress do not.
Ok gang, time to chill. Party's over.
😱
Wait what???
I don’t think this is IT but that day will come eventually.
Wasn’t there some chat about how he wouldn’t get sedated for a colonoscopy because that would mean giving the VP power for an hour?
I noticed it was the pitchers who doused him with gatoraid last night.
Calm morning on the lake. I love the wisps of fog.
I don't think we're lucky enough for 1.
👀
I'm so sorry, Phil
My guess: Because he's a billionaire so he's supposed to be an evil jerk?
Apparently it's a franchise record for most runs at a home game.
Crazy crazy game. #LFGM
SO TRUE
It's hella racist and should have been shut down ages ago.
Sorry I didn't remember!
Someone was saying this week that the thing to really watch for is whether or not he's playing golf.
I'd agree with that assessment.
😬🤢
What's going on? I've been offline for a few hours.
Mastodon says it doesn’t ‘have the means’ to comply with age verification laws:
I respect her more than I used to. She’s growing into the job and learning to be effective. Ideally I would like to see her move up to the Senate next.
AOC maybe?
I like him a lot, don’t get me wrong. But I am deeply dubious they will accept an actual Jew with a longstanding commitment to Israel unless he does a complete 180 and even then they will be mistrustful.
No clue
His positions on Israel have been very mainstream but that is not going to be good enough for the left.
The mega rich have owned the Hamptons for many decades.
I would also submit 4: Posters Madness
Or some combination thereof.
Nooooooo!
I'm unconvinced that yet another failed impeachment attempt is worth doing.
If the shutdown closes the federal court system that's a real problem.
Fair enough
Honestly not sure. Last time, I was convinced that shutting down the courts would be bad, so I was anti-shutdown. Maybe that's still the case, but I'm open to arguments either way.
I hate this timeline
And that's correct
WTF 🤯
This is happening because other countries are refusing to send stuff here due to the end of de minimis and the new tariffs. It's a rational response to irrational requirements.
I hate this timeline
Letters are the one thing that still get through, because there's no tariffs on them
You're using Christianity as the measuring stick.
Because the thing is, this is real but also, it's not real. This image reflects the reality that Trump *wants* a total state in which he is the unquestioned leader, but we do not actually live in that state, at least not yet.
Do you want advice or sympathy?
It’s been bad for a while now.
It's not really my thing but I can understand the appeal of collecting historical pieces.
Suck it Phillies! LFGM 🧡💙
Good one!
I sort of get it. One of my parents friends collected antique pistols. But not assault rifles.
Multi-mega hits like "shake It off" don't happen all that often. Even to top tier artists.
my dad, my sister, and my spouse can, but I can't.
goddamnit
Is there any good shawarma in DC?
The old Kenmore Pro stuff was actually pretty decent. RIP Sears.
LFGM baby!
how about one mega frog?
worst thing that ever happened to me in DC was sweating my ass off wearing a suit to meetings at the FTC when it was 90 freaking degrees out and humid.
That's either going to be awesome or horrible and I have no idea which.
Rings since 1996: Taylor Swift - 1 The Dallas Cowboys - 0
The world is going to hell but Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged and that makes me happy. 🧡
