Wanted to purchase a sweater from a favorite Canadian clothing outlet that each year commissions its own knitwear from a Scottish woolen mill. And there it was: on top of the $20 shipping (totally fine, have paid it before), **50 American Dollars** in duties. Thanks, checks and balances!

Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰
This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem.
Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?"

There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant.

Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence.

Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence.

The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

Connery only kind of attempting to speak Russian at the beginning of Hunt for Red October, but with the thickest of Scottish accents: truly a DGAF performance.

Our dog Hennie doesn't like baths or the rain, but will endure either so she can get The Towel afterwards. She loves getting toweled off, like giant full-body scritches.

At our little rally, we were joined by some teenagers (& their mom) - their first protest ever, they said. They were so energized by the crowd & by all the cars honking in support. And it occurred to me: these kids are too young to vote now, but will be voting in 2028. Gave me some legit hope.

Why are you resisting leveraging the power of your keyboard, Ryan?!

The IT Training dept where I work has decided it's Function Key Week & every day on the intranet home page there are handy new tips involving the F keys.

Today's header: "Use Function Keys to leverage the power of your keyboard giving you tools that save time and increase precision."

I've mentioned it during this competition before, but I saw The Cure on this tour, at Dodger Stadium, with both the Pixies and Cocteau Twins as openers, and as lineups go, it was pretty incredible.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Walked into a bar to see if friends were around (they weren't) and was in there just long enough to (1) identify the song playing as The Ocean Blue's 1989 track "Drifting, Falling" and (2) realize how that identification dated the shit out of me.

Went to a wine shop to get some bottles of wine for an afternoon gathering. Asked the folks there for assistance.

Shop person: Is this going to be consumed with food?

Me: Nope, just some day drinking!

Shop person: Ok, so just for vibes.

Folks, I am an old person and have no idea what this means.
