If most of your adult life you've been employed, you can have a gap of up to 10 amos

I lived in an apartment with no outdoor space, the massive park like 1/4 mile away was closed for like 5ish months. Was pretty long and onerous!

Aww that's sad, Artscroll is basically trash compared to Singer.

Nusach Windsor? Presumably that's just United Synagogue - Nusach Anglia. Hard to get a siddur outside the UK (and probably other countries where it's dominant, like Australia and NZ), unfortunately.

The Pace buses that go on the shoulder (and CTA on LSD once we have an express lane God willing one day) should have special signs that mock motorists for sitting in traffic. But otherwise, I wanna know the route and that's it!

He should run for mayor of Chicago, he had a higher approval rating than the current mayor, and being a convicted criminal might help him

They’ve really lost the pretense of being “pro peace” or “anti war”, and lefties, being a bunch of gullible rubes, are still along for the ride.

I guess everyone stocked up coping and now they’re not partying?

I really wonder how much of the democrats defeat was because being a progressive involves being miserable all the time

There’s no magical reserve of communists or whatever who won’t show up but will vote for Marx incarnate. Yeah they probably exist, but there are orders of magnitude more swing voters with politics that are weird but not radical who won’t

Republicans after 08 and 12 said a more conservative candidate would’ve won. They were wrong, but they still thought so! There’s never any evidence for this take, it’s always inability to cope with the fact that sometimes voters don’t like you and your ideology

I don’t see how where they appear on the ballot is relevant, and enshrining abortion in constitutions isn’t actually left of Harris.

The “voters obviously want more things I like” is the most common American post-defeat delusion and it’s almost always wrong

Harris won a higher % in VT than Bernie did.
November 7, 2024 at 1:14 AM
I dunno, I think Bernie’s a symbol of “the left” and Harris outran him. Gonna bet the NC democrats who won while Harris lost are right of the median candidate too.
