I’m so sick of being told to be “efficient” because YOU underestimated the budget.

I really like the Fever starting lineup of Mitchel, Howard, Boston, Hull, and Clark. Though, I would like to see Bonner get her game back.

This Fever/Liberty game is fantastic. Clark is so back!

I love to see this phrase.

In 1989, I was working in a Camelot Music when an older woman came in and asked where the Bogart movies were. I showed her. She was accompanied by a gentleman who never spoke. When they left, my manager told me that was Betty Ford.

Is this take hot? Seal’s first album is great when listened to, in order, start to finish.

Your BlueSky feed sucks because you’re comparing it to Twitter, which you spent 10 years cultivating.

“Say Goodbye, Tell No One” is the B-Side to her latest release, but it sounds more like the classic Kathleen Edwards I fell in love with.

Republicans: “Democrats are bad for business” Also Republicans: Raises taxes on products and tells businesses to eat the increase.

Woke up in a good mood today, but damn, work is trying its best to change that.

I like how many options the Fever have. And one of them is “give it to Kelsey Mitchell, then just stand back and watch”.

It seems that a lot of people and media companies see the #WNBA as just a way to mine clicks by making up hot takes and fake drama. They see the rising popularity and figure out ways to exploit that for their own profit with no concern for the truth. Please don’t give their dumpster fire any oxygen.

My favorite words in the WNBA: “Clark to Boston!”

Dear service employees, If I ask, “Do you have X?”, and you don’t… just say, “I’m sorry, no”. ?:( KeT Don’t tell me you can order it… I have the internet also. Don’t tell me it’ll be available after 4… that doesn’t do me any good at 1. Just say “we don’t have it”.

Why is it “kids can have fewer dolls” and not “millionaires can have fewer vacation homes”?

I’m in my late 50’s. During my adult lifetime, there was only one period I had to line up to get into a grocery store. One time when I didn’t know if toilet paper would be in stock. Or cheese. That was during the Trump Administration. And I think it might be coming again.

Your child should get by with fewer dolls. But god forbid we ask billionaires to give up anything.

Made this my phone wallpaper. From the Swann Memorial Fountain in Philadelphia, a figure representing the Schuylkill River.

The Swan Fountain in Philadelphia

My experience in Philly: Talking to someone from out of town: go to these places that are an hour from each other. Talking to a local: I go to these 3 places that are within a block of each other and nowhere else.

Coal is a dying fuel. Coal plants are being decommissioned at record pace. Industry is moving on, trying to bring it back is madness. Natural gas is a transitional fuel to get us to the next level. The next level is cheap, renewable sources such as Solar and Wind energy. Invest now or die.

To be “woke” is to be aware of the injustices in society. Of course a group that benefits from, and wants to perpetuate, those injustices wants to demonize “wokeness”.

If the government can put people on a plane to a foreign country with no due process and no way to undo it, it can happen to anyone. Police make mistakes. They raid incorrect addresses. They arrest the wrong guy. That’s what due process is for… to correct those mistakes.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Congress needs to pass a law that American citizens cannot be deported, and American citizens convicted of crimes cannot be sent to prisons in other countries. An American citizen should never be considered to be beyond the reach the American justice system.

Those “militias” that were training for the day they had to violently oppose a “tyrannical government” are really letting us down.

Now that the utter incompetence of this cabinet is on display, we can see why they hated DEI and affirmative action so much. They're the ones who can't compete when there are accountability structures to give qualified BIPOC and women a chance.

Return Abrego Garcia.

I just saw a political analyst say that Trump’s power is empathy. Wrong. Trump’s power is the ability to discern what the people in front of him want to hear, and to say it shamelessly. It might look like empathy. But it’s pathological. He knows what you want, he’ll say it, but he doesn’t mean it.

Republicans courted votes by saying they were going to stick it to “the elites”. Then the uneducated realized the could really stick it to the elites by electing people like themselves. And we’re about to reap the rewards of being governed by people who denigrate education.

People think that Republicans are good on the economy because rich people vote Republican. They must know about money, right? But getting rich isn’t the same as knowing how to make the economy work for everyone. This administration is showing that Republicans have no idea how to manage the economy.

At what point do the Republicans that fear opposing Trump start fearing the consequences of NOT opposing Trump?

I expected that Trump’s re-election would mean a recession. But I didn’t expect him to do it in his first hundred days.

What do you think of the Republicans’ handling of the economy?

Is Trump getting advice from someone who shorted the stock market?
