Sounds like good homework :)

Dinner tonight was a delicata squash and vegan “chorizo” bake (plenty of cheese tho so the vegan train stops right there) and it was really good!

But the fake nuggets? Some of them are better than what we got in grade school, but that is damning with faint praise.

Have you ever had a good one?

It is evidence that he knows the shit he’s had to deal with in his life, and the shit he hasn’t.

It’s not out of the question Trump thought he was endorsing (ex-)Prince Andrew for something, rather than Andrew Cuomo for NYC Mayor.

BART at rush hour in the median of CA-24 in the east bay does exactly this and you *know* everyone else on that train is feeling at least a little bit smug. 👍

It’s funny because it’s been tomorrow on the other side of the date line for like 20 hours already before it becomes today here.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

It’s actually a great distraction from horrible operations to abduct a shit ton of people while there’s other stuff going on, so watch for action behind the smokescreen.

It was either going to be a pretext for a proper military-style invasion in Southern California or Southern Ontario, so that explains the Gilded Age celebratory ball.

Jesus, baseball. I have not been sleeping on you, just been resting my eyes since the Cubs won the World Series.

Haha! Wow, I didn’t realize there were machines that would do that. Depending on where you are, rare to find ones that will do $5s or $10s even!

In no way defending her behavior here. This quote, however, made me laugh.

“The entire walk to gate B-8 she was cursing and complaining and often doing the same into her phone”

For those of you not familiar with CHS, that’s like a two or three minute walk. (It’s quite a small airport.)

NEW: Police say Nancy Mace fully melted down at the airport Thurday, calling cops "fucking incompetent," etc. A TSA supervisor said they'd be reporting her to their superiors. @jakelahut.writes.news has the scoop! This is outside our paywall as it's based on public records:

Nancy Mace Curses, Berates Confused Cops in Airport Meltdown: Police Report

At an airport in South Carolina on Thursday, representative Nancy Mace called police officers “fucking incompetent” and berated them repeatedly, according to an incident report.

This is why I continue to use the disparaging “good enough for government work” even though I know the government generally does actually decent work.

Chris, they’re deliberately not funding SNAP next month. You have lost the narrative here, bro.
