The subtext of this comment is that the Mayor of Boston is Asian-American, whereas the Mayor of Chicago (like almost everyone else that Trump refers to as “a low IQ person”) is Black.

Trump: "Boston had a bad mayor who at least is a reasonable IQ person. Most of them are low IQ. I mean, what's going on in Chicago ... "

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

The pass from Christian Roldan is some otherworldly shit but don’t tell the QSMNT morons about that

it’s a major failing of the USSF to have left Ream in the cold as long as it did

it’s a level of smug that will only be topped if Brian Schmetzer succeeds Poch

Jason Anderson @jasondcsoccer.bsky.social · 19h

Gonna be very funny come May/June when Sounders fans hit levels of "told you so" over Roldan that have rarely been seen. We're gonna need new gadgets to measure it.

it's harder going through all the interviews and not making the cut.

at least i still have more interviews going forward with other jobs, but I'm back at the recruiter or hiring manager initial interview stage

Colin Durant @colindurant.bsky.social · 22h

and just got one that was for a job I really wanted. ouch.

Colin Durant @colindurant.bsky.social · 23h

the "we've decided to go in a different direction" emails do not hurt as much when I have the sense the hiring folks want something different than what I offer.

Mainlining LIB in the way you are is absolutely unhealthy and works better when you have a nice, pleasantly home-cooked meal so one feels a little less smooth-brained

you can just read the interview, you know.

So I see this election as very critical to who we are as a nation - the character of America, democracy. And they may not like hearing that, but I don't like what they're saying either. And what they're - the assault that they are making on - no one is above the law. That's been what America has been about, except if you're Donald Trump.

KELLY: When you say they, you're talking about who? Republicans?

PELOSI: Yeah. I'm talking...

KELLY: People who support Trump?

PELOSI: ...About the cult that the Republican Party has become - a cult to a thug. And that thug would be Donald Trump. So I wish they'd take back their part of - the country needs a strong Republican Party. It has had a strong Republican Party with great leaders for America. And that is really not what we're seeing there. It's up to them, though.

Paris gets there in the thread; it’s easy for these supplements to have lots of lead in them because the FDA regulations on them have been lax for ages.

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 1d

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

this is really the key insight. it's why the best attacks against them highlight that these violent, sadistic racists are not really able to coexist in society - they aren't just offensive, they're deeply off-putting: weirdos, creeps, etc. bsky.app/profile/junl...

Andy said trans rights, y’all

pretty decent chance we will have the Governor of Kentucky running to the left of the Governor of California on this issue in 2028. it’s a wacky world, folks

Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY • 23h
A little bit about me, my values don't change based on who I'm talking to. I'm a proud pro-LGBTQ+ Governor who vetoed anti-trans legislation in an election year and still beat Trump's hand-picked candidate.
