If the French defeat the Nazis and America doesn’t, we will have to retire some of our most cherished jokes.

largest french turnout in 40 years, to keep the nazis down. fascism sucks up power left unattended

Achievement unlocked! Last year, my friend Jen and I made a pact to enter poetry in the Alameda County Fair. We both barely made the deadline in May . . . but we achieved matching silver ribbons! I think we can safely add "poet" to our writer resumes, now.

The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve faster than light particles here." Two tachyons walk into a bar. The punchline comes before the joke You know what the worst thing about time travel jokes is?

Timeline cleanser. Just down the street from the rental house is a house with 2 dogs. One is a basset hound. It climbs up the little rock wall there and sits in the top of the playhouse. It takes the slide down. It is adorable.

I know it’s algorithm specific but my personal tiktok feed is full of it

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

Campaign news has overshadowed this. For all those who missed it: the administration announced $1 billion to help communities be more resilient to climate change/natural hazards. www.dhs.gov/news/2024/07...

I fear I made a grave error in thinking I could wrangle our hot tub chemistries. Followed shortly by several more grave errors of throwing far more chemicals in than I meant to ... I mean a tablespoon is just a teaspoon with more confidence, right??

Rad Na from Chai Thai Noodles in Hayward! This wide rice-noodle dish comes with Chinese broccoli and cabbage in a luscious, soothing gravy. I opted for the tofu and was quite pleased.

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

#1stworldproblems How unexcited I am when packages arrive because it's just another cardboard box to collapse.

Y'all are aware that the ONLY reason Biden wasn't able to deliver on his initial promise of student loan forgiveness on the scale he wanted to was because the Supreme Court shot it down, right? And that he still managed to forgive over 100 billion despite this? The lack of awareness is nuts.

I'm sorry, NC friends.

And it’s only July. I’m trying not to think about August.

For real

If you care about the USA, the single best thing you can do today is to contribute to a downticket race thats close. The second best thing you can do is cancel your NYT subscription and use that money for the purpose.

Conspiracy theory time: The Supreme Court makes clear that unofficial acts taken by a president are fully prosecutable, and the next day we learn about tons of evidence tying Donald J. Trump to Epstein.

really cannot emphasize enough how plainly all this proves that the first priority of the next Democratic administration needs to be democracy reform --filibuster --electoral college --court reform --dc and pr statehood --new voting rights act --gerrymandering

I once thought John Roberts was a fairly reasonable choice for the Supreme Court. Dude was just waiting for the moment to let his extremism out.

This isn’t “hypocrisy,” he was lying about what he believes so they would confirm him

Timeline cleanse - I'm eating this tonight.

If the Supreme Court is going to take on all this responsibility, maybe there should be more judges. One per circuit seems good.

Bay Area friends, since restaurants have been infuriatingly exempted from CA's junk fees law, here is a list of local restaurants and the service fees that they charge, should you want to avoid them...https://seefeesca.notion.site/f5e11f589ec54c8eb1eed6c37f7e4c83?v=b97b3560f8f747f68aa73a762e76e47b

I'm 3 episodes in to S3 of The Bear, and the use of classical music is just excellent this season. That is all.

Just for the record, unless a television show records more than a total of 12 episodes, I'm considering it a mini-series.

I am learning many things through The Gourmez website redesign, and one of those things is to never link to images/videos/posts on outside websites, because it turns out a lot of them may shut down over 17 years....

This debate is horrible, but points to Biden for "You have the morals of an alleycat."

Mask up! Improve your indoor ventilation! Take care of yourselves and your immunocompromised loved ones. The best way to not give them Covid is to not get Covid.

Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
