The 24 Hours of Lemons is an endurance race with a twist: The cars cost less than $500, and costumes are unlimited. A recent race saw a Toyota Yaris painted like a snail, and a team dressed as bees.

"Trump’s administration on Friday agreed to halt all efforts to freeze funds intended for a Maine child nutrition program after initially suspending those dollars due to a disagreement over trans athletes. In response, the state will drop its lawsuit that had been filed against the USDA."

Admittedly, I have a lot of favorite Doc Hollidays, but Val Kilmer in “Tombstone” is definitely one of them.

So much good work on the ground this week! Here's the new Indivisible Cumberland County ME holding a town hall today with 400-500 people for Susan Collins - who of course did not show. "Where's Susan?!?" Your GOP Senators and Reps can hide from you, but they can't hide from accountability.

When Gov. Mills pushed back on this nonsense about transfem athletes, DJT froze $100m in USDA funding to the University of Maine system. Those funds are now unfrozen and Sen. Collins is taking credit. But we all know she said nothing when Mills was under fire and Queer Youth were protesting.

I think everyone needs to read Christine Bold’s The Frontier Club right now. Roosevelt, Wister and so on absolutely endorsed state violence on small ranchers, propped up robber barons, and generally wrecked havoc. Their “environmentalism” came at a great cost to Indigenous peoples. Same same.

I turned this stuff off because I got a text from someone that said essentially “would you rather do this or that?” and it “suggested” a text back in which I both chose between those two options and provided a rationale that had nothing to do with anything I had said I wanted. It’s garbage.

Cooper Flagg’s Nique-style reverse dunk last night was amazing. But little-known fact: all Mainers can do that. It’s true. (It’s not true.) m.youtube.com/watch?v=zO-O...

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

This is a must-read and is also the first comprehensive post mortem I’ve read working off the vote cast data (which is the real deal) as opposed to the dubious exit polling.

One of the great things about #Diehard, as bad as the bad guys are, the LAPD (with the exception of Al) is so obnoxious that it takes about two minutes to change the audience to rooting for the bad guys against the cops.
