Reminds me of that story of the Russian woman who would go to the newsstand every day but never buy the paper. Eventually the owner asked what she was doing. She said she was looking for an obituary; he replied that they’re not on the first page. “The one I’m looking for will be,” she responded.

I feel like they worried “friend” would make him sound gay, and same for “partner,” so “business partner” it was.

Hey, we’re not in a position to be choosy.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Someone thinks that?
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
This is such a disaster. Iirc she has so many cases she’s just sitting on, with no regard for the parties’ need for finality.

Oh gosh. You’re doing better than you think you are. I promise.

That story about the woman who looked at the front page of the newspaper every day?

I’m doing okay to the point that I’ve had people from financial institutions ask if I want to adopt them once or twice. Awkward.

I do enjoy when websites get cute in acknowledging my order, though. “Roger that, thanks for your order!” email confirmations and such.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I understand that (although some undocumented people do work “official” jobs using someone else’s social security number). You’re completely missing the point. Have a nice night.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Dads. 🙄
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes! I almost mentioned that but couldn’t remember if that’s actually been done or was just an idea someone…floated. 🤭
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m aware of the difference between documented and undocumented. She said all jobs went to *citizens*, not to *documented people*. Again, plenty of non-citizens can legally work in this country and have gotten jobs this year.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Green card holders and people with work visas aren’t citizens but are authorized to work in the US.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
And not a single one went to a non-citizen. 🙄

Are the salmon spawning up there? I was just in Alaska, and the salmon were spawning there. I don’t totally understand the salmon world (where are the boy salmon during this time?), but it seemed like all the salmon were dying or dead so no good salmon to be caught.

At least you get weight. Women’s websites only give height (which is also 6’2”, usually). “Renée is 6’2” and wearing an XS.” What am I supposed to do with that?!?

“GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE EXCEPT LISA COOK WHO LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE CALLING LISA CROOK BECAUSE OF HER MORTGAGE FRAUD AND ALSO GAVIN NEWSOM WHO WILL NEVER BE “LOVED” LIKE I AM BECAUSE HES NOT AUTHENTIC THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP”
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed — there will be much better options in the primary. If he managed to win the nomination, I’d hold my nose and vote for him because he’s better than whoever he’s running against, but no part of me thinks he’ll win the nomination.

I don’t think that tiger is changing his stripes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t help us score points against Trump.

“Far away” is what you’d say when you can think of “overseas,” but you wouldn’t actually write “far away”; you’d ask someone else what the word is that you’re thinking of that’s like “far away” but for this particular context.

They all know they’re better off if he lets SCOTUS shut him down: he gets out of the inflation pickle he’s put himself in, Congress doesn’t have to go on record voting to raise costs for consumers, and the Court gets to pretend it’s not in his pocket.

Only one? Noteworthy indeed.

I tried to order a bourbon and Coke on a flight the other day, but they don’t have bourbon. Then I realized of course they don’t: I was flying Air Canada.

Is Vivek still a thing? Not that he wouldn’t have been worlds better than what we have now, but does he still have political aspirations?
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
What do they expect him to say? Of course he’s going to say it’s fine. Doesn’t mean it is.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Can’t decide between: Win some, lose some. and At least he died doing what he loved.

Of course! Chicago is always a good time. And I’ve been murdered there zero times!
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Chicago is so fun. This summer I went with three friends who had never been there 😱. We were just there for a super-quick weekend, but we did the architecture tour and went to the Museum of Science and Industry and the Frank Lloyd Wright house and Three Dots and a Dash and ate at Girl and the Goat.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I will not shut up. I love Chicago.

Tbh every time I hear him talk, I’m reminded that there are sooo many people sooooo much dumber than me to buy into his bullshit. Like, how little do you have to understand about the world to think his tariff plan was the perfect solution that no other politician had ever thought of before? 🤦🏽♀️

Just listened to a podcast with a fireworks vendor in a rural area in Kentucky or something, and he said this 4th of July was one of his best years ever, and he thinks it’s because people are feeling more optimistic about the economy under this administration. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh! I remember reading that and thinking it was incredibly out of character for him to even make the call.

He’s probably just sulking about the tariff ruling.

Yeah, I remember when he got Covid in 2020 and everyone was saying it, but I knew we wouldn’t be so lucky.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I saw a convo about this the other day. They think it’s all a part of fixing the country after Biden messed it up so badly. It’s gonna take time, etc. 🙄
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
July is a hilarious time to claim prices are down when they’re not. In January, when people aren’t using AC, he could maybe convince some of them that cost (and not merely usage) is down, but at the peak of cooling season? 🙄

FWIW, you can just say “it would be very fun if he…” and we’d all know who you were talking about.

Naw, $10 or four for $50. Those people ain’t known for being good at math.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I may be naive, but maaaaybe SCOTUS will strike down the tariffs? It would be a win-win-win: they get to show that they don’t just rubber-stamp everything he does, Trump gets out of this inflation pickle he’s gotten himself into, and we get to buy things from other countries again.
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
Like literature on the effects of brain worms, or…?
Millie (@thatmillie.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m none of those things, but I think there’s a basic minimum level of treatment all humans deserve. Trump voters apparently think otherwise.

Yes. Appeals court decisions can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

He has absolutely no appreciation for nature or curiosity about the world, so national parks have nothing for him.
