I am forced to choose between buying my Boy Kibble or filling up my car to get to my email job
Hey now, some of them also have to haul around a soccer bag after their kid's practice.
That is if they don't run them over first
I think I see a banana peel on the sidewalk there too
Ah those are the "stuffed crust" variety. Just gotta fill it with ooey gooey cheese product
Which, in fairness, is far lesser criminality than what other republican lawmakers are doing currently
New Orleans really trying to find out if 200% humidity is possible today π₯΅
My sister went to USC as well, I saw how they had to live...
Pretty sure I could afford to raise a family of 7 on $140,000 a year. I wouldnβt be dumb enough to, but I could
My parents went to college for free because that was the in-state tuition cost in CA until Ronald Reagan ruined everything. You could afford to live off a summer job as a soda jerk at Disneyland (my mom) or a production potter (my dad)
Thats 50% more than I make as a tenured professor if you multiply by a standard work year (2,080 hours) π«
I do this comparison too but my parents made 5x what I do and could hire someone to deep clean the house once a weekβ¦ I canβt π«
Like, Russia invading Ukraine and the US and Israel bombing Iran and killing their head of state say everything any would-be attempt at a future nuclear program needs to hear. What a terribly grim and feckless situation the two deranged lunatics have put future-us in
So basically every country that ever had nuclear weapons or an advanced nuclear program and gave them up by virtue of assurances/deals with the major nuclear powers is now under attack by the major nuclear powers so that sends really great non-proliferation messages...
Tragically the beignet place was closed for a film set or something. No beignets were eaten and no iced cafe au lait was drank
Exxon Mobil stock at the highest it has been since 1986
Big Lebowski saying "It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit and, uh... uh..."
is this Mesquite Flat sand dunes?
"calibrated hardball tactics" aka anti-democratic conspiracies
This was a conspiracy by the Republican leaders in Montana to suppress opposition to avoid (1) running a primary and (2) potentially facing one of the Democratic heavyweights in Montana (Tester, Schweitzer, Bullock - full disclosure I worked on the Tester for Senate campaign in 2008).
I hope Bodnar wipes the fucking floor with Alme
Republicans proving yet again they despise voters and will do anything they can to avoid facing them

Already here so Iβm gonna do work. But as a treat Iβm gonna stop for beignets on my ride home
biked all the way to work today to realize I don't have to be at work today
can we split the trolly in two to make it go down both tracks then?
Ryan Gosling in the movie Barbie, playing Ken and saying βI can fix the trolley problem. Put billionaires on the tracks.β
gm itβs friday
hey remember how we voted out the guy who oversaw the lowest unemployment in almost 60 years
wild how predictably "careful" these news outlets are about NEVER even mentioning the existence of a driver, only a car in any collision but how sloppily they refer to an electric motorcyclist as an "e-bike rider" every time
Feels intentional.
Uh...not an e-bike
Definitely not an e-bike
And this isn't an e-bike
But this is not an e-bike
Can anyone tell me what the bike industry and/or People For Bikes are doing about the way e-bikes are being blamed for havoc caused by people riding electric motorcycles?!!?
WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.
