In my neighborhood I wouldn’t trust that the lawnmower would still be there in the morning.

I was going to mention my worst birthday, but it pales in comparison to this. I hope you’re better now.

It’s just another lying weirdo. How does the GOP find so many of them?

In my neighborhood taking stuff left at the curb is the norm. Sometimes we‘ll leave a sign to clarify something is free. There have been times when I’ve taken something, used it for a while, then put it back out in the curb for someone else to enjoy.

Yeah, the Democratic party really showed us how they think about positive change when they blocked Bernie. We’re seeing the same dysfunction with how Harris has softened her position on a number of issues. That party machine mainly thinks of itself.

'Had a similar experience with a 2020 Bernie rally in Los Angeles. Big arena, lots of energy, long lines. It was loud but a good experience. I’d recommend it at least once for a candidate that you feel strongly for.

PS: I went on to canvas for Bernie. He won the primary in California!

Get in the habit of getting into habits. My high school chemistry teacher turned me onto this. Make a point of doing something every day for a while and soon it will become hard NOT to do it.

Our dog taught himself how to roll a ball with pretty good accuracy. Coming home from our morning walks we’d play a game where he’d push the ball so it would roll down our driveway. I’d return it. With much concentration and practice he got good at getting it to roll all the way down - even sometimes doing bank shots.

“The Good Place” - you bet your fudging life!

I can’t drive 55.

So there’s no chance that this threat could backfire? By the looks of the Israeli protest marches, not everyone in that country agrees with the current government’s heavy handed approach. Could this be a bluff?

Workers assembling computer-driven robots and flow-forming machines at a new General Dynamics artillery ammunition factory in Mesquite…

…and…

Here, in the Pentagon’s first new major arms plant built since Russia invaded Ukraine…

So the NYT doesn’t even try to pretend that General Dynamics and the Pentagon are not the same entity.

In the US the only source of leaded gasoline that I’m aware of is aviation gas. Lots of (all?) older piston-driven airplanes use it.

Here’s another…

Wow, that seems like a very useful approach. Yeah it’s a bit manipulative, but in a kind way. Thanks for sharing this, and the back story!

My spirit animals.

This post made my ears itch. Luckily I do have Q-tips handy.

Same here come to think about it. That’s weird too.

Some of those facing punishment, including 40 students at UC San Diego, were slapped with “interim suspension” notices following mass arrests at protest encampments. But many others who avoided arrest face the same penalty for reasons that are far less clear. …

“You very rarely see these interim suspension cases,” said Sukham Sidhu, who heads of the Office of Student Advocacy at UC San Diego and has spent her undergraduate career representing peers through campus disciplinary proceedings. “The only times I’ve seen it imposed are in cases of physical assault.”

Yet another example of “Every accusation is an admission.”
