Mostly a lurker, liking and replying. (On here, I'm more of a content consumer than a creator. I don't mind if you don't follow me back.) Love liberals, cats, and football. (Go Blue!! 〽️) Happy to see my bird-app feed reconstituting itself here.

Yes, Rep. Kimble is a parody account.

But this is true for lots of places! I grew up in a small Midwestern town that most people wouldn't know. I would say I was from near [large city 45 minutes away]. Had I lived in a close suburb, I would have just said I was from [large city].

Recently had a 10-day chest cold. I wondered if something was going around, but no one else I know had anything like it.

I once had an aisle seat with a muscly guy jammed in the middle seat. (Granted, he was no Terry Crews.) I was forced in into an awkward C shape for hours and struggled to protect my aisle-side arm from the drink cart.

Assuming these are the characters and not the actors, Karen stuck in a middle seat would be an absolute nightmare!

There's no way he can fit his muscles entirely into a middle seat. There will be encroachment.

Probably 7, but I'm bringing noise-canceling headphones because Niles is really talkative and probably a nervous flyer.

I do most of my shopping at Costco, but I used to go to Target about once a month and bought a lot of stuff there. I haven’t spent a dime there since the boycott started and don’t know whether I would ever go back (if it ended).

Are you sure he isn’t running for FL gov?

But the meme is from a 1996 movie where Christine Taylor played Marcia — not from the original TV show. She and Ben are only a few years apart and both came up in the same era.

OP’s mom is no help either! Seems like OP was taught to accept this second-class treatment.

Their mother is a monster too. They'll either turn out to be monsters themselves or need a lot of therapy.

Fun (or not) fact: 2023 is when both Al Pacino (then 83) and Robert De Niro (then 79) had kids. AP’s partner is 53 years younger; not sure about the exact age of RDN’s.

Her mother is evil too. That kid will either be just like them or the complete opposite.

She’s evil in her own right (enthusiastically involved in the child separation policy in the first admin). They were made (in Hell) for each other.

Narcolepsy?? That’s been around forever. I had a teacher 40+ years ago who had it. And she must have been in her 50s or 60s at the time.

1st, questions about Obama’s birthplace were always BS, as his mother was American. 2nd, hardly anyone questioned Ted Cruz’s eligibility (born in Canada with only one American parent). McCain and Van Hollen were born to American couples serving their country abroad. That counts as “natural born.”

To American parents. He’s as eligible as McCain was, in exactly the same way. (Not that I want him to run — I think he’s a legislator to his core.)

She's so new I hope she's just warming up.

That's right. He was my Congressman here in MD-08, which is mostly Montgomery County (Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, etc. -- the innermost burbs). And he was a state legislator for a while before that. He's very liberal on policy, & just does the work & gets shit done for his constituents.

A, for sure. That’s on me and my own bad choice, unless there’s something actually wrong with it. (Then the answer is B. Never C unless there’s something really gross and inexcusable wrong with it.)

Not sure about specific legislation, but he's been talking about Medicare for All since the passage of the ACA (probably even before that).

Not moving towards -- he's always been that breed! He's great on all issues AND attentive to constituents' needs and concerns. Maryland has had great senators for decades. (Governors, on the other hand, have varied -- but we've got a great one now.)

Taking care of yourself includes checkups, screening, and preventive care -- all of which "consumes healthcare resources." So, even aside from the callousness to anyone who becomes ill, and even accounting for these idiots' dislike of vaccines, it STILL doesn't make any sense.

Aside from Rubio, I see a whole lot of "Nays." (I skimmed quickly but didn't see a "Yea" for anyone else.)

Fun fact: Raskin was elected to Van Hollen's House seat when he went to the Senate. So MD-08, specifically, is sending its best!

Writing letters to the justices will accomplish less than nothing. That’s just not how courts work. You should direct your energy and resources to writing/calling politicians — federal, state, and local. And support legal organizations that DO know how to communicate with judges.

No doubt, but aren’t these three all statewide offices?

Sure, we all have our preferences. Just noting that forms of garlic differ in a way the other examples don’t. (Also, the sheer quantity of garlic necessary for Tom’s lamb recipe would cut against the “just as easy” argument.)
comment in response to
post
This is true for coffee and Parm, but not for garlic. Fresh garlic and garlic powder do not work the same in cooking, and one is usually better than the other in a particular application. (Sautéing vegetables: raw. Rubbing all over meat before cooking: powder.)

The judge should tell DOJ counsel to bring their toothbrush to the hearing.

A couple of years ago, a Northern Flicker used my gutter to look for love. It took me several days to figure out what was wrong with my house.

It was something like, “Not ready to let [actor] go?” And then it promoted a sleep story that [actor] had read for them. Smart promotion, but it could have been more vague, and/or timed a few days later.
