Every time this video comes across my feed, I watch it all the way to the end.

Then I watch it again.

In this weird poll on the D7 election, there's a random question on Zohran Mamdani for... reasons.

On the last day of a 3-Day Tableau training.

The lab data is correct, Texas is not the south.

Texas is Texas.

But it's incorrect for including Florida.

It wasn’t the CA bar, but I was there when Jing studied for and passed the NY bar in 2011.

Bot once did she consult psychics.

She did, however, lock essentially lock herself down and studied for a whole summer.
Kim Kardashian shares her frustration in a new TikTok after failing the California bar exam, calling out psychics who told her she’d pass.

I’m not the luckiest person in the family, that’s Mom, but I have gotten a bit of the charm.

I bought a Dinotopia book from NPL a few months ago for the kid and decided to buy the rest of the main collection.

Well, the first book came today and not only is it a 1st edition it came with extra bits.

I don't have any streaming services, so I went to the library to browse and saw they have High Life. I've seen clips so took a chance.

It's non-linear so it's kind of hard to follow but the thing that tripped me up the most was slowly realizing one of the actors is Andre 3000.

Now that's a good idea.
We're announcing a 30-day moratorium on utility disconnections.

The federal shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits have placed an unfair and unexpected burden on households. No one should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.

If I was a Dem running for office in this state, I might feature this very prominently in an ad. www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

Days before they were due to report to prison, former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his top aide reportedly got word they will be pardoned.

I've been going around the house for the last month saying "Ghosts" in my fake Wisconsin accent. I got the BBC series from the library today and kept doing it.

Jing asked why I keep saying it like that and I have no reason other than I think it sounds funny.

Some in Nashville are pushing for bus rides to be free during the shutdown. In the meantime, WeGo is providing more signup opportunities for its Journey Pass free rides program.

We create so many unnecessary burdens for both the provider and recipient rather than doing the morally correct and bureaucratically efficient thing.
THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ANY MORE PEOPLE IN LINE AT MAC TO RECEIVE JOURNEY PASSES. Tell your people so they don’t waste time and money trying to get there. This was entirely avoidable. We knew people were going to come out like crazy for these passes. Free bus access is life changing. #bagthefarebox

Council just unanimously approved a bus fare suspension amendment to a SNAP resolution (left). WeGo announced new Journey Pass enrollment events earlier today (right) but council just sent a clear message that we must do more

Share these events with SNAP recipients and service providers:

My hot take is that the Democratic Party needs to spend less time on messaging and more time on getting hot. Getting yoked for democracy.

Heard from a volunteer with Dream Streets yesterday. They extended their food distribution hours bc people were choosing between getting a Journey Pass and getting food… exactly what advocates warned would happen.
