They’re Millennials. That will always define them as kids.

I’m so glad you discovered it! The really flavorful stuff is called either “grade B” or “dark.” (VT syrup often labels just light and dark to reduce confusion, but if you see something labeled “grade A” it just means delicate flavor which may or may not be what you want.)

I expected better of them. I understand why they did it; threats to health care are scary. But I expected better.

They mostly don’t. Dogs, cats, most animals with a uterus go into estrus when ready to reproduce. Then the uterine lining is re-absorbed into the body when she doesn’t get pregnant. I still wouldn’t expect a dog to worry when a human smells weird for a few days. Smells change all the time

I think the 2 weeks before Halloween are generally their busy season. They’ve still got to be wondering what happened and how long it will last

Why should we be looking at the first derivative for this, instead of simply at productivity?

I wonder what it means for children to be “under quarantine” these days? Schools really have a problem with kids missing classes. Is a parent supposed to stay home with the kid, missing work for 3 weeks? Do their siblings go to school, sports, scouts?

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.
U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country

Even here, George lets JD digress for 45 seconds about how democrats are to blame for all kinds of bad things. That feels long the days. He’s showing integrity, but is he showing skill, in these days of very short clips?

You’re entirely right. Does anyone know who is running against him next year? The person might not have decided to run yet, but Fine is writing their campaign ads now

He doesn’t represent them. He openly works against their interests. If a Muslim who lives in his district were to call and ask for an normal constituent service, I wonder if he’d say “sure, my office help you with the VA,” or “F— off and die, Mr. Mohammed.”

If somebody were to tell me, “We’re sending you to do a morally repugnant job! Prove you’re qualified with this running test….” Well. I’m not sure I’d have the guts to argue with them, but I sure wouldn’t run very fast

We should also consider the relative risks. How often do cops find hit-and-run drivers and help hold them to account? How often do they show up an hour after an assault and shoot the victim’s dog?
lauraadrian2.bsky.social
Cops rarely investigate that sort of thing on their own initiative. There might be a prosecution if the injured person gathers witnesses and video evidence…but if you’re doing your own investigation you could just sue in civil court.

IANAL, but I think a formal declaration of war nullifies existing treaties.

Corollary to 12) All criminals deserve the death penalty. Some criminals are pardoned, or released on technicalities, or the poor overworked cops let them get away. That’s why they care so much about defining boys-will-be-boys and fraudsters as non-criminals

I have seen Him in the refugees arriving on our shores
And I’ve seen His Pontius Pilates on the House and Senate floors.
Let us build Him up an altar before ICE’s prison doors.

Don’t bother with the replies. Most of them assume ICE agents are too dim to read, rather than than being spiteful and gullible and immersed in toxic propaganda. (Are you too clever to be mean-spirited? Sorry, nobody is that clever.)

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

Do you want to make it so nobody can repost your work? I don’t understand why? Or is it “keep reposts out of my feed, I don’t want to see them”

Even for dessert, I suspect a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese would be cause for derision in New York politics.

Like egg salad or tuna salad, some places mash it smooth and others have bigger pieces of smoked whitefish in mayo, maybe with red onion. Zingerman’s (and some other less traditional places) add sour cream.
