If Jesus inspired you on Jan 1, AD 30 to save every bit of money you could get your hands on, and if you scraped together $650,000 per day since that day, and if in that time you neither spent any money nor earned any interest, you would have approximately the same amount of money as Elon Musk.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is surging in the polls! Leading Colin Allred by 6%, but leading by a whopping 47-point edge among those who know both candidates.
So excited about this campaign!

The painful irony here is what the President is celebrating as a win is actually a massive corporation highlighting how fucking poor they know their customers are in his economy. They know no one who is buying Thanksgiving dinner at Walmart can afford last year’s meal at today’s prices.

When did writers and translators of literature start using the word “sex” for vulva? And how do we make it stop? It’s so awful.

Absolutely thrilled that Josh Ritter has now released Truth Is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding) on all the streaming platforms.

Reading about how the Minnesota shooter was a missionary…. That tracks. I was trained to be a missionary in a fundamentalist Bible college. There is something inherent about the goal of conversion in an evangelical setting that dehumanizes people.

Back sleepers, talk to me: what the hell do you do with your toes?!
Do you let the sheets and blankets push them up toward your foot, stretching your calves? Or do you have them push forward, stretching the top of your foot and inevitably causing your calves to cramp multiple times a night?

After Season 1 of The Penguin, we watched behind the scenes making Colin Ferrel into Penguin
Two bug thoughts!
1. WOW. The artistry is incredible, makeup so well done. Close-ups that don’t require any suspension of disbelief. Absolutely incredible prosthetics work. 1/

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

We should really re-think documenting the date of patients’ last menstrual period at health care visits. We live in a surveillance state where they’re criminalizing pregnancy, miscarriage, and yes, abortion. Documenting LMP is fodder for the prosecution.

well the 1936 precedent is "just be normal in the short term for good press from naive and gullible journalists"
So uh... how exactly is America going to host the World Cup next year with all these travel and immigration restrictions?

Was anyone else disappointed that in the most recent Severance episode, while hosting a dinner party, Denethor son of Ecthelion did not bite into a small tomato only to have its juice and seeds spew out?
