? If u eat 2 dozen eggs/wk, in all forms, thats 100 dozens. Even at $5/dozen a 2% increase turns ur yearly egg spendings from $500 to $510
are you under the idiotic impression that milk and eggs are only sold as milk and eggs in stores and are not used in foodstuffs offered across the average supermarket? have you ever cooked or like read an ingredient list? stop being a smug bitch again. bsky.app/profile/whst...

It's truly amazing how they absolutely destroyed 63rd St.

Based on this image, you'd assume a rapid transit line kills development rather than spurs it.

Important to consider in the context of the more-expensive-than-God Red Line Extension.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

Big AZ news: Karrin Taylor Robson, the more-establishment GOP candidate for governor of Arizona, just dropped out of the race.

This seems to seal the deal for Andy Biggs, a far-right member of Congress who chaired the Freedom Caucus, to get the GOP nod against Dem Governor Katie Hobbs.

When people read current writing on immigration a few decades from now, it'll hit the same as a reading the way people wrote about "the Jewish problem" in the 1930s. Just loads of well-educated and seemingly normal people accepting a monstrous normative frame as though it's natural.
really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement
