You know we like the Sketchers Slip-Ins. And you know what? I’ve got a sensible polo shirt on, and I got it on sale. From Kohl’s.

My wife does the same. Any teasing is gentle, then she gets me back with my extreme aversion to peas as anything but a side, on their own.
Except snap peas in a salad. Those are good.

Hard not to like that guy. One of the greats, and he’s checked all the boxes now.

He’s going to have many more after that. Would have been on par with 28-3, and the Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead
(on par…audience is permitted to groan)

There is no English universe in which facilitate does not connote taking action to make something happen.

Funny, I don’t see any attempts to facilitate his return documented in those “reports.”

He is absolutely cut out for the role of good soldier in an authoritarian regime. Perhaps aiming for the position of successor to the head of the cult as his most loyal lieutenant.

Tacos for Two sounds like a low-key indie romance. Moody, sardonic, but ultimately sweet.

In the full Truth he claims that the reason it’s not an exception because the “fentanyl tariffs” still apply, but these goods in particular have been moved to another “bucket.”
uhhhhhhhh what?

People don’t realize the oat farmers have to milk the oats three times a day to keep them healthy.

They’re literally incapable of taking an off-the-rack suit to the tailor and it’s eating at them…haunting them even in dreams…

Not my area at all. But I wouldn’t think that’s a trivial task now in a digital workflow, unless I’m totally off-base.

White Mirror is a ‘90s multi-camera sitcom. Full of hilarious hijinks! In the future! But nothing too serious that would make you sad. Filmed in front of a live studio audience. OK, we punch it up with a laugh track sometimes. (There may be a very special episode, but everything will work out.)

Oh look, here’s Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey’s objection to the McCarran-Walter Act at the time: [deportations] "without hearings or findings, and without the possibility of judicial review, would be the beginning of a police state." Quote from this Cato Institute report: www.jstor.org/stable/resre...

Hmm. That law seemingly gives the Secretary of State power to deport a permanent resident if that person says they like eating Chinese food, and Rubio thinks that’s a national security issue. Where does that meet the First Amendment?

Right. Say we have a shoe retailer where every SKU is made in China and costs $100 today, and Nike takes the same GM% after the tariffs. They come in at $120. There’s a price point that maximizes net profit, greater than $170 (GM$ pre-tariff) I should think, and probably close to $240. Maybe higher.

This is the spirit of vengeance that makes it impossible to have a functioning society if too many succumb to it

Maybe, Jesse…just don’t stoke a moral panic that’s led to widespread persecution of trans people with a pretense of “just asking questions”-style fake objectivity? If you hadn’t, perhaps John Oliver wouldn’t have had a field day with you in a 40-minute takedown.

Undead studio audience kept eating the cast and crew. Cost-cutting move that backfired

I too am a blue dot in a red state. Not because I always agree with Democratic politicians - and there are some really awful ones out there - but because know I despise the regressive, cruel policies of the global Right.

I have to sing along with that every time I hear it. It’s a compulsion.

4. You have a conscience. Trump, Musk and their affiliates do not. If they did, they wouldn’t have sent innocents to rot in a Salvadoran megaprison, intending to deprive each one of them of due process of law. Your conscience is your asset, and it cannot decline in value like stocks and bonds.

3. Put the pressure on, because the strongest counter to the avalanche of destruction is sticking to principles. Look at how they fold in the face of public outcry. What happens when the schoolyard bully tries to steal the lunch money of the one kid who turns around and gives him the business?

These low-rent thugs will never get me to endorse neo-McCarthyism. Oops. I just said something all the establishment figures won’t say, and I said it under my own name. It’s not on the marginalized to speak, it’s on the comfortable. The white middle class insulated from nearly everything going on.

I could say “Well, I never. Harrumph. How coarse, and rude to boot! This generation doesn’t have any manners.”
If I did I would be 110 years old, but I could say it.

We’ve almost reached Threads levels of sanctimonious, chiding replies. Raising tedium alert level to BEIGECON 1.

As a less affluent person, I’m trying to figure out what that would even entail. Probably some free personal training and classes, massage therapy, açaí smoothies…what else? Solid gold squat racks?

If you have to be on “the other side,” at least you have company, like basic human decency and the plain text of the Constitution.

In theory I think it’s possible to make a good breakfast burrito at home. I’ve never been impressed by the ones at fast food restaurants.

I like Revenge of the Sith if just for Ian McDiarmid chewing scenery and being delicious evil as Palpatine. I’ve come to hate the sequel trilogy with a mighty passion.

That’s what your typical person wants. Put it back, and give me my treats back. A large part of this country will be content to return to that. The 50th percentile and higher in household income, perhaps. You won’t break through, because they can’t understand, and they don’t care.

Well, that’s not good. Flight to safety! And certainly not U.S. sovereign debt!
