Guess I’m not a cool kid? Flawed test, but fun I guess.
Flawed political axis showing that I’m located in the bottom left quadrant, indicating left/liberty leanings. On the right is a progressive to conservative bar, with an indicator that I’m on the progressive end.

This is the modern day Republican Party. Don’t let them claim otherwise.

They already toned down the headline.

Couldn’t sleep so turned on the Mets game in the 9th to see SNY do a PIP of the Mets dugout trying to flip a water bottle and land it standing upright complete with commentary. When Soto succeeded they cut away from the at bat and showed a slo-mo replay. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Screenshot of the Mets-Dodgers game on 6/4/25 (although it’s 6/5 on the East Coast at this point of the game). Mets are up 6-0 in the top of the 9th. Louis Torrens is as bat with 1 out, nobody on, and a 3-1 count from Loutos. More importantly, in the bottom right is a picture-in-picture of the Mets dugout trying to flip a plastic water bottle and land it standing upright. Screenshot of the Mets-Dodgers game on 6/4/25 (although it’s 6/5 on the East Coast at this point of the game). Juan Soto is flipping a water bottle on the stairs of the Mets dugout. The water bottle is in midair as the players watch in suspense. A second later the bottle will land upright and the Mets will celebrate.

Good catch. I was relying on the NYT reporting, which said this:
Jack Ewing from NYT says: Tesla would have been hit much harder if the tariffs had applied to components rather than just to finished vehicles. Like all other carmakers, Tesla imports significant numbers of parts and would have had to raise prices to cover the cost of tariffs.

Two months in a row. Learned today that not only do I prefer NJ’s politics to Florida’s, but I’d also rather run in NJ’s cold than Florida’s humidity.

It was an honor to moderate the Central NJ Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates Forum on behalf of Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Summit, and Warren Township. We had approximately 150 Democrats hear our candidates’ visions for NJ’s future for nearly two hours. 1/2

Had a great time at Greg Vartan’s NJ CD7 campaign kickoff! While my daughter was distracted by my name tag in this photo, she was able to sleep easy after hearing Greg’s speech.

Check out his website, donate, and let’s flip this seat blue!

And if that wasn’t enough of a pitch, here’s another one: my daughter heard Andrew’s campaign speech about his vision for NJ and was able to sleep easy for the rest of the event knowing that NJ LD21 would be in good hands.

More of this please! Democrats cannot let Trump’s lies go unrebutted just because they sound absurd - millions of people listen to him and believe him. Respond quickly and call him out - force him to play defense rather than waiting for him to pin the blame on Dems.

Pete Pete Pete!
Tweet posted by Pete Buttigieg on the bad place: “Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”

Really amazing how well Nemik’s quotes in Andor fits these times. This fits the string of EOs perfectly.
Nemik telling Cassian Andor, “The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it, and that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than it is behind a single incident.”

My buddy asked if Penny wanted a dog bed because it was too small for Lily (her bestie). I’d say she likes it.
