80% of Americans live in urban areas.

“I’m shocked by the number of people stopping me in the hallway today to say ‘Goodbye’ and ‘Thank you,’” [a] reporter said. “Generals and admirals and people telling me that they appreciate us. People I don’t even know.”

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

Is pretending to be single acceptable?
Is not disclosing a DV conviction acceptable?

Surprised my congressman isn't also in the photo.

20 years ago, I made a list of assaults on me by men. I kept adding things as I remembered them. It was rather long, especially if I included things that a lot of men would consider borderline or okay within a relationship.
Or the boy on a bike who whacked me in the head with a rolled up newspaper.

Is this city designed for them? Will they be able to afford it? Is it close to family?

I'm planning to go. I think if you are unwell and possibly contagious, maybe there is something else you could do? Organize a group of friends to walk together? Make signs?

What people are doing in LA, Portland, and Chicago is critical, but it's good for the rest of us to stand up for a day.

I suspect that may not be that unusual. I hired a realtor two years ago. She set the price and then didn't bring a single offer, at that price or any other. That and other experiences have left me underwhelmed by the profession.

I don’t think they thought people would rise up like they have, in multiple quarters. I mean, senate democrats standing their ground? Federal workers speaking out? Federal judges? Governors fighting back? Fear paralyzes. We are braving up, collectively. You bet they are upset. No Kings, my friend. ✊🏾

It's that same argument as "only people with preexisting conditions" were killed by Covid-19. It's the self satisfied position of people who believe they are perfect and invulnerable.

Sadly, my suspicion that Harris was in fact quite anti-Netanyahu, but boxed in by Biden and conservative Dems was later borne out (link).

A fair number of my swing-state friends ultimately sat out the election to protest what they saw as Harris' pro-Netanyahu stance. So damn predictable.

Charlie Manson was 5'2". Men are violent.

Not at all!

The kicker reads, "This year, come harvest time, Bunker says the plan is to bring some of the apples to agriculture fairs to give the public a chance to step back 200 years in time with a bite of the tree's golden yellow fruit."

Here for the apple reviews!

Thought of you when this very old French apple tree (Drap D'Or de Bretagna) was discovered in Maine:

The apple reviews continue because they must to fulfill the ancient bargain.

Like when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told the California legislature they were a bunch of "girlie men."

He later said:
"At the time it felt like the right thing to do. It was in my gut. ...But it was shortsighted. In the long term, it's better to not say that, because you want to work with them."

Jennie Dusheck @solenodon.bsky.social · 1d

Yes. "See how open minded we are?"

She appeals to bigots because they think she makes bigotry seem reasonable and even a little fun.

I read as a paper document, mark the problematic parts but *do not fix,* just keep going.
