@edkane71.bsky.social In know you’re watching Emmerdale, but do you watch Coronation Street? Watched my first full episode without Swarla and I was delighted! Comedic relief, psychological manipulations, a guy without a shirt, infidelity, discussion of ‘white savior’ parenting, and sheet folding!

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Twice in the last week I have had otherwise reasonable people in Florida ask me if I thought the 1) humidity in FL in June or the 2) flash floods in TX “Flash flood alley” were caused by jet plane contrails.

How am I supposed to know who is a police officer if the police don’t know who is a police officer? My fears right now are militant white men with guns and I want something done about THEM!

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.
