I should maybe reintroduce myself here. I am a former well-known beer writer (mostly retired from that currently) who used to be prolific on Twitter (RIP). I just became a mom at 41 years old, and my daughter turns one in a few weeks. From NY, living in Maine and working in geospatial tech.
Mills entering the race just means Collins is a shoe-in at this point.
Ohhhhhhhh..that's the feeling.
The problem with an "every man" candidate is that they reflect the values of "every man" and some of those are very very shitty.
Ah. In that case, I think we could be doing a better messaging job to fight the perception that you can't run for a local office and have a full time job.
Ok but there's a hell of a difference in time and financial commitment from a protest to running for office. Who can do that and still have a full time job that pays bills?
If we're gonna apply AI to more stuff, let's apply it to things like THAT.
Oh wow that's not removing a 'façade' ...
OMG is it really as simple as our food being too fatty? Mind blown.
Children/toddlers/babies should be exposed to, and taught to name animals from their local flora and fauna before safari and exotic animals. The only reason kids media are obsessed with lions and gairaffes in baby attire is from circuses, which are derived from colonalism and promote 'other' ness.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Do you know anything at all, sir?
Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.
Before leaving the house for daycare, my 23-mo old looked at me and said, "I need BOOTS" (e.g. rain boots). It is not raining, doesn't look like rain at all. I let her wear them and pack her regular shoes in her bag.

It's now **pouring** outside.

Girl was right!
I am basically unable to do the Very-Important-Overdue-Thing-That-Is-My-Entire-Job today becasue of the AWS outage
Honestly, yes. Most of the large city names in the US are unique at least, there's no Boston Florida or Phoenix Alaska but Portland Maine is Maine's biggest city so it's confusing.

However, I totally agree that doing it for any other city is pretty pretentious.
For Portland, Maine folks, it's actually helpful for the other portland to have adapted to calling themselves PDX, so I dont' have to ask "WHICH PORTAND" every time.
I.. can't even.
We don't want to kill you (even though we have said multiple times that we do), we just want to shit on you.
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
Whoever set up that course should be liable for this. As an archery coach, 75% of our certification is "how to set things up so accidents are nonexistent" and anyone setting up a fucking axe throwing area should know better.
Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?
Oh good I see they're circling back to "what if... we traded for things we don't have..." it's like the tech-bros re-inventing busses and raw milk enthusiasts suggesting pasturization
BREAKING: The US is rolling back tariffs on “products that cannot be grown, mined, or naturally produced in the United States," per WSJ
I'll say it again: if "paid" protesting was a thing, there would be tons of evidence in bank statements and taxes. Show me ONE pay stub. Just one.
This is spot on and I'm sure my dad will slip that phase into his life at some point after this.
In less than a year they are gonna make Santos in charge of ethics or something.
If it was a "barely visible" "optical illusion" then show is better pics of the flag.
They are also doing this sneaky thing to widen the amount of products on shelves to hide the fact that there aren't as many choices
And it's not only more expensive it is smaller. Fewer in a package, smaller, thinner products. It's all a smokescreen.
