On Monday, my colleague @hunterw.bsky.social asked both Mamdani and Sanders what they thought of Trump’s attempt to take the mantle of “affordability.”
“I will shock all of you in suggesting that the president of the United States is a pathological liar. He lies all of the time,” Sanders said.

Trump said he will win the midterms by branding himself the "AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT."

I now need glasses, hard contacts, and soft ones. So great.
Solidarity in regularly has to explain to her partner and friends that one glasses lens costs as much as high end frames so no she's not going to get the cute fancy glasses

Hey Hunter - you've probably explored this so sorry if you have, but I have a Dual Boiler and have replaced the o-rings multiple times over the years.

I literally got a phone call from my doctor asking for a $475 payment for contact lenses that I need to see while I was covering a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov presser where they talked about affordability and healthcare costs.

Taking the day off to get into the holiday spirit and recover from Thanksgiving travel (also the kids don't have school), so I'm getting the day going with dark roast and homemade pancakes.

Very exclusive merch here
I’m drinking Yogi tea in a mug that shows a robot hand holding a mug of coffee, an image taken from the cover of my 2020 novel that’s narrated by a coffee machine. In other words, I am a land of contrasts.

Black Rabbit is a cool show with a lot of interesting elements and deep NYC references but the plot really starts to fall apart as the season comes to its climax.

The article gets into this a little bit, but I think part of the perception here—specifically the ideas that journalists regularly make up details and quotes and pay sources and create undisclosed ads—comes from following news influencers on social media versus traditional media

I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

They put her in shackles. Her ankles, her arms, and her waist.

Yeah I have a great local roaster and, when I do pourover, I use one of their bean blends. I have all my settings and ratios figured out and it's virtually my favorite cup of coffee. I would be so sad if they ever leave or change it.
Looks very similar to the one my son has. Good tip about the beans. I usually mix the darkest of roast with super blond. My favorite roaster quit her business so I am still looking for my perfect beans. It’s a bit of a existential crisis because I am a sucker for tradition:)

My 2012 Rancilio Silvia is great for modding and repairs. I’ve rewired it, replaced the pump (twice), replaced thermostats and added both a PID and a pressure control. Money up front, but you can actually work on it.
