Realized that these tests are all being run with the same dishwasher my apartment has, so now I'm absolutely disappearing down a rabbit hole of optimization.

All I know about this guy is from his Wiki page but it is pretty funny to see the notes about how al-Zawahiri and the rest of the al-Qaeda higher-ups were like "I don't think this guy is doing this for the true love of the game!"
Not that it needs saying but this is a good reminder that you never have to take anything Republicans say about Mamdani seriously.

"The relationship between Israel and the Jewish Diaspora." You mean the one where you constantly hit me up for cash while telling me I'm not a real Jew and that I better not make any other friends if I know what's good for me? Yeah, man, great relationship there. Really worth maintaining

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.

When did the poppy cross the Atlantic to become an American thing? It feels incredibly recent.
In honor of #VeteransDay, we recognize players, managers and coaches who served in the military with a poppy on their page in tribute to their service.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

My entire life Republicans’ game has been to stymy, undercut & undermine when Democrats have power so they can point to the resulting failings as evidence progressive policies are dysfunctional & then they get power & aggressively gut every social gain & Dems are still like ‘maybe we can negotiate’

This is so annoying, but I'm surprised at how much it's an issue in Europe, too. You'd think they would have moved past it by now.
Table seating in business class is TIGHT. Luckily no one is sitting across from me, but my seat mates had to verbally negotiate how to place their legs to fit.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.
