What word that rhymes with Chuck comes to mind first when you think of Senator Schumer? I'll go first: "chuck," but pronounced as an Italian word.

This is ridiculous, YouTube TV.
You have no problem autocharging $93.06 to my credit card every month. Why can't you issue the "credit" automatically. Why do I have to go take extra steps and more of MY time to claim a "credit" for your failure to provide programming I paid for.

As @pearwaldorf.myatproto.social implied - this is Kendrickesque.
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Saw that the president and his advisors are floating the idea of a 50-year mortgage, so since I have a Master of Bullshit Artistry (MBA), here is a friendly reminder that the longer the payback period, the higher the interest rate. A 50-year fixed will be somewhere around 9% APR.

Interesting timeline! I wonder what happened in, like, 2009...
This is extremely stupid also because before like 2009 the senate regularly let almost all bills through cloture and pass via simple majority votes (looking at you medicare!)

On news of the U.S. skipping the G-20 summit this year, to be held in South Africa, I just learned that Donald Trump has never visited the continent of Africa while president. Not once.
The Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt was on the Sinai Peninsula, which is in Asia, not Africa.

As November SNAP trends on that other platform on the news that full benefits will be paid out over this weekend: a reminder, that all the angst and turmoil over food assistance for America's poor and hungry only came about because SNAP is coded Black (and in at least one person's mind, "Democrat.")

The one thing Trump’s two victories have proven is that Americans will simply not support a woman becoming the president. That’s the sole common thread and it’s not small or subtle.

A accurate assessment of that soccer trip. And I know one former #Jeopardy champ who wants Alan to get wrecked. I know @joshtigerhill.bsky.social is affected by the Disney/YouTube TV dispute, but a challenger just professed his love of “Stockpile.”

Republicans went “nuclear” for tax cuts & Trump judges with 51 votes. When it’s about feeding families & paying workers, suddenly the 60-vote rule is sacred. Their SNAP & ACA cuts are poison—and they don’t want to own the fallout alone.
Democrats, stand strong! Let them own the misery they wrought.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
