I make lots of typos and won't apologize for it.

Time for round 2. Let's do this.

Spending my undergrad years drinking alcoholic drinks of exceedingly low quality was training for stomaching the awful tasting and insanely high volume colonoscopy prep meds.

Jame. Franklin has been spotted in a suburban Baltimore public library. Clearly this means he's interested in the (not open)Towson job.

ACAB includes the toddler dad who just pulled his kid out of the giant water table at the science museum. Let the kid be free!

You know he wanted to put motherfucking in the middle of the final JD Vance.
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

May these men face their well deserved justice and never know a moment of peace for the rest of their lives.

Alerting the morning crew to some electoral malfeasance that occured last night.
I didn't win the neighborhood costume contest. Multiple people have told me I was robbed.

They're all fucking right.

One of the things about hardline RTO policy I legit don't understand is how it actually kills productivity because of no flexibility. Like after being hospitalized for a week with a bad allergic reaction I could come back to work faster cuz I could WFH.

I said the same thing when they were including daycare in BBB(thanks Manchin). But this would be even more important.

Stand this up asap. And get elected Dems at every level involved. Yeah the fascists will bitch and try and shut it down, but actually helping people is more important.
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

White bbq sauce and yum yum sauce are an example of culinary convergent evolution.

Library did a minor Reno. Mostly new furniture and moving stuff around. But the Switch that was in the kids area disappeared. I was sad. Until I found it. I'm a totally new like living room type set up.

Libraries continue to fucking rule.

Go Hokies! Beat Cal!

It's amazing how people take the fact that they weren't aware of something in childhood as proof it didn't exist.

Welp. UVA was cool for exactly one week. Get fucked 'Hoos. Never negotiate with fascists.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

I am a leftist, and I've literally done this in college. My mind only exploded from ripping bongs and drinking beers.

Shit I live in a pretty liberal neighborhood, and I know of at least 5 houses without outdoor TV set ups. Basically the adult version of this.
A leftist's head would explode if they had to watch sports with such an incredibly shitty setup

Did I buy the Ludacrisp apples because of their name? Yes. But they are also delicious so back off.

As a Hokie it pains me to say this, but in these times any ally is a good one.

So for tonight only. Go 'Hoos!

"Hey we don't know (house painter)'s politics. Maybe we shouldn't have him doing work when (cleaner) is here."

A real statement my wife made to me last night.

It's a shame Penn Stating doesn't have the same lyrical quality that Celmsoning does, because man they've really picked that mantle up.

I know this makes me an old, but a college soccer stadium selling 6 or 7 different beer options, but no energy drinks is very surprising to me. Especially on youth soccer day. Lots of tired parents in the stands!

Kiddo 2 decided to reinvent rugby today at kiddo 1's soccer game. Before things got going she grabbed a ball, and ran it into the goal. Shouted goal when she got there.

Given her size I think she'd be a good prop, but she might be tall enough for lock tbh.
