Did they annoy a greek god or something? That is too many incidents.

Note: As I am one of the matchers here, donate if I've annoyed you to make me poorer. If you really hate me, get your friends to donate too.

I will also provide personally tailored bad takes to annoy you into donating if needed.

➡️ Donor Matchers

The highlight of this event each fundraiser, we have folks who have agreed to join me in donating a certain dollar amount for each individual contributor across all these donation methods 🔥

So the more *people* who give, the more money the matchers give!

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Curious what that looks ex-owner occupied housing. My gut is a lot of this is paid off mortgages.

I read @theonion.com on the metro too. It does complete the look.

Yeah, an American prez year will often have 40 items on the ballot. You get 2-4 federal offices, likely 2+ state legislative, possibly 0-5 statewide offices, 0-5 state or local ballot issues, 0-5 local offices, and state/local judges which can be a dozen or more.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

I just send my money to the hot girls in my dms who invest it in crypto. Its great!

Wikipeda turned up this insane fact:

The pastor apologized for allowing the shoot, unaware of the content. Carpenter responded, stating advance permission was granted and noting, "Jesus was a carpenter." Bishop Robert J. Brennan relieved the pastor of his duties and held a Mass of reparation to restore the church's sanctity. The investigation into the priest who granted permission uncovered evidence that led to the indictment of New York City mayor Eric Adams.

You could make a fun short film where a story is told through someone getting dropped off at the kiss and ride each day.

This aligns with my experience talking to a lot of staff at environmental organizations who understand the necessity for land use and permitting reform but can't bring along senior leadership or donors. bsky.app/profile/robi...

Interesting to see @meganwachspress.bsky.social observe that the Sierra Club’s staff were clear-eyed about the need for clean energy development while the *members/small-dollar donor base* were more resistant to it.

Megan Wachspress @meganwachspress.bsky.social · 3d

I was at the Sierra Club during the period described in this article and although I have my criticisms, it gets the issues in the Club fundamentally wrong. A 🧵

A kid did a science fair project on whether people kiss more at kiss and rides than drop off areas. His mom took him to different ones around suburban DC to take observational data.
It made NPR. Yes, people kiss more at kiss and rides.
