My OCD has superpower aspects. Advocates monthly town meetings at Dunkin' in breakaway NE. Dreams of being an economist. Assume it's a failed attempt at humor. Don't want the drama.

But, seriously. I'm a teacher in New England with 25 years of middle school and I'd consider. Jobs? Really? Tell me more.

Where are they supposed to go?

If they stay home and stare at phones or play COD... well, fill in the gripes.

If the man on second is doing it, fair.

No technology. No telephoto lenses or electronic communication. Old school.

Introduce them to bullet journals. I dare you.

All of the DEI mentions during the Harris campaign were the GOP calling her a DEI hire, etc. Racist.

The only solution is to run white straight males--no Harris, Booker, Big Gretch, Mayor Pete, women... and they'll still tag Pritzger with something (fat?). No, we aren't doing that.

This. I LOVED bits of UNAUTHORIZED BREAD (Doctorow) but it was so.... everything. It was all thoughtful and interesting but cut 1/3 or so and you've got a classic.

Weir is just listening to a nerd bro solving shit and beyond the tech aspects there are few characters I'd like to spend time with.

Or, four day work week? UBI? Crafting?

They are trying too hard.

You Win Today's Internet @askingforafriend.bsky.social · 23h

Because they were told to expect a job, car, house at the jump plus vacations, etc. And, it's hard.

* i don't know if it is harder than millennials or gen x or boomers but that's what I'm seeing in the gen z vibes.

His being known by Millennials and older Gen Z as Cyrus Rose in GOSSIP GIRL was when I thought I was old.

At some point you gotta lean into baking and cooking like all the time and learn how to kneed dough, for example, without flour being everywhere. But, yeah, it's a lot of mess on the way.

Their best bet is to lean into the government being shattered and rebuild it in a new, positive image, not go back to 2023.

"Hey, we love NOAA!" and "All Americans voting is good!"

I think about how I depend on BON AMI and DAWN and bleach to clean--bedrock products. That, but government.

I have that one. It's a good machine.

It is impressive that they have that opportunity to even meet and hang with such age diversity.

I'm thinking someone "clever" figured if a "male" had breast cancer they must be trans as the paperwork read "male". But, it didn't even occur to them that cis men get breast cancer because men don't have "breasts" in the way these men think about it.

Hate and ignorance is a horrible combo.

Garrison Keilor had a bit about Minnesotans liking Bob Dole because he seemed like a man with a headache. They couldn't trust some southern charmer like Bill Clinton.

As a New Englander, I think about that a lot.

Reference meant for BlueSky.

If you want to Montreal games those last few years it was pathetic. Montreal was doing well on no budget (their pitching development system was amazing) and the crowd never seemed to top 7K.

The "guess attendance" segment on the big board was always depressing.

Bills or Pats as AFC winner?

This makes me wonder if George Will is at heart an X person or true BlueSky person. Like, his need for mainstream attention vs. his turn against the current GOP and love of baseball....

Not wonder enough to look it up, but wonder. He's awful.

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

The Dems problem is no one is stepping up to speak for them. Not on a national stage. No one. Not even Obama.

Every day, go viral with something positive showing the ideal. Travel. Mayor Pete, get out of the podcast studio. Big Gretch, time to redo your image. Someone. Anyone.

This coach could have used such counseling.

I'm seeing printers for like $10-20 and this is $60. Worth it?

I am sure this quality and junk is junk, but I'm thinking gift for my partner so thoughts?

I remember when Bernie ran in 1998 (still Rep) they hired a big op research firm who came back with "We think he's a socialist".

Like, that was in his stump speech.
