oh there are a lot of them i could pick here. but we'll start with this one.

i mean egg prices have stabalized and dropped a bit. i did get two 24 packs at costco recently that worked out to around 3.85 a dozen. but that still isn't back to older prices of around 2 bucks a dozen before this. i miss the days of the 99 cent dozen for sure.

it really isn't just the level of cruelty. it's the level of cruelty combined with the sheer ineptitude that makes this even more galling.

Sinners was trying to bend genres but the truth is, any movie with Irish dance in it is horror.

they know scotus doesn't want to directly take this on if you ask me (hence why the orders about this were done in a way that told the govt they had to make the efforts to get him back but also put most of the onus on the district court). unless scotus slaps them back directly, nothing will change.

amazing how this works. imagine if they had done this sooner.

golf can go from "this is so boring" to "this is the most compelling thing i've ever watched in my entire life" in the blink of an eye. we're in that second one right now.

i see this photo and you just imagine that sign saying "white supremacy now" and realize how much it powers so many trump voters. it's why no matter how much his policies cause them financial pain and hurt, they'll stick with their choice because they want minorities to suffer more. every time.

unfortunately none of this matters at this point. republicans are either fully on board with anything trump does/says or are so worried about crossing him and getting a primary that they're willingly giving up power in congress to placate trump. polling won't apply pressure for them to change.

here's a major thing about that supreme court race win tonight. this is going to really help dems in the house because r's can't re-gerrymander the maps there ahead of next fall's race. wisconsin is a purple state and the map should reflect that. wish the same could happen in north carolina.

crawford wins the wisconsin supreme court race. dems run a lot stronger in both florida specials. running against trump and musk works. pay attention to this and learn!

i am so proud to be from the great garden state right now. @booker.senate.gov doing our state proud over the past 25 hours.

wish they came out of the gates like this. better late than never i guess.

we can't even get actual members of congress to face their constituents, and here's a CANDIDATE just making herself available in the community to answer questions and hear thoughts from her potential voters. EVERY DEM OUT THERE NEEDS TO TAKE NOTES. THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE.

why does that stupid fan duel commercial with charles barkley make me laugh so much? "what does charles barkley need help with?" "hundreds of results found." "uh oh."

see, i wouldn't even get a venmo account until they had a setting to automatically make all your payment history completely private. i did not need anyone seeing anything i did, even if it's all innocuous stuff like someone's share of dinner or the cost of tickets to an event. that's private!

see, this is how you do it. clear, concise, and honest. she sounds like a real human being. and she is honest with her answer. nothing that sounds like it was focus group tested. more dem politicians need to speak like this.

spicy take time: underwood ranches sriracha runs circles around huy fong stuff. it's not even close. seriously, try some and see.

"credibility is suspect." what does it matter when everyone knows that no republican anyone is going to step forward and do the needful here. no one has any stones to do anything. they fear elon's money and losing power. that matters way more than national security or accountability to r's.

"how are these people so stupid?!!" -- me to two of three jeopardy contestants getting an easy final wrong, fully knowing that i would fall on my face for around 2/3 of the clues in the game itself.

you know what's a winning message to me? -no spammy texts -no consultant class running a playbook from the first clinton administration. -running on a "what if we didn't suck" platform. i'm in.

this is the problem i have with senior dem leadership. there is a literal THIRST from people who want a real fight and someone who looks like they're standing up for them. and that's what the dems are refusing to provide. instead it's seniority and decorum. please wake up and smell the coffee!!

"scoop there it is" got overplayed, but it also led to the best obvious shirts shirt that i own.

people love to make fun of the big ten because in recent years they've gotten a lot of teams in and then had few if any reach the sweet 16. this year, the b1g seems very strong.

the suburbs rising up was a big part of how dems won in 2018 and 2020.

if you do this, you need to adopt the college rule for defensive pass interference too. max 15 yard penalty. still gives you a first down and extends your drive. i hate a massive dpi flag when a db just brushes a wide receiver.

look, no one thinks the nyc subway is perfect, but i rode that bad boy almost every day for almost a decade and it was fine. in any event, crime is way down on the subway. they are trying to frame this in a way that's not just "trump wants new york city to fuck itself".

let's just say it out loud: they view anyone who isn't a cisgendered heterosexual white christian as subhuman or inhuman. that's their entire worldview. that's how you get here.

if the industry really wanted to end tesla forever, they'd pump out cars that cost what a cheap civic does: an ev with ok range for 25ish grand. that's the only real way you do this. full stop.

but, still, support @wired.com and pay for their journalism. they are doing some really serious work to keep the world informed.

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it is almost that time. I could eat this all summer long. #pastasalad

this should not surprise anyone. white women of means will find a way to get an abortion if that's what they desire. hell, plenty of doctors in states with bans will likely still just do them without these women having to leave a state. everyone knew what the real goal of these bans were.

we need to acknowledge that a big part of what drives this is that popular teams will bring eyeballs. unc is a blue blood and a big driver of viewers. if they could have put them in higher, they would have. doesn't matter who picks the teams, the tv metrics will still determine some outcomes.

this is what a government that knows they will not be held accountable does. i think they're just going to ignore any court orders they don't like and dare the courts to do something about it. even if they do and hold someone in contempt, will it actually stop anything? where is the bottom?

honestly, the thing about this, if this guy had to do it again, he'd vote for trump 100 times out of 100. these people cannot have their minds changed. it's a cult of personality and this fever will not break anytime soon. i'm not even sure how you work around this.

this right here is why schumer needs to go. i don't doubt that there are a lot of republicans who hate what trump and musk are doing. but they value their power over the good of the country. they know they challenge trump/musk and they get a primary backed by elon's billions. they won't change!

a lot of brutalist architecture has aged terribly and continues to do so. the washington metro is one of those rarer examples where it hasn't. that view of the tubes and their waffle vaults crossing at those downtown transfer stations remains stunning.
