There are guys in NYC who have been kneecapped for things less offensive then pineapple pizza

sloboula.bsky.social @sloboula.bsky.social · 8h

building - a museum or city hall

A guy drives up in a flash car, like a corvette or porsche, gets out, and the 2 young ladies say, ooh, over compensating or what and then a guy drives up in a modest kia and the ladies go , ah he's a keeper

really wierd how bsky doesn't seem to know that men and their cars having a hard time with women is a decades old thing

back around iirc 2000, a company like Kia had this TV add; these 2 sophisticated young ladies, well dressed, rather thin, are standing on the steps of some large

far as I can tell, there is nothing we can do about this cause the times is still essential; all the socalled left news are not very good (except propublica) are not very good as news orgs

have no idea what the answer is

This is a press release from a for profit company
Can we please stop doing science by press release & wait until independent experts have a chance to look at the data ?

thanks

The topline results are to be released Saturday, but the full details have yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal

I don't know about PBS, but the NPR top of the hour news summary has been truly awful, often just straight up pro Trump propaganda

sloboula.bsky.social @sloboula.bsky.social · 8h

According to the last tax form (Form 990) filed with the IRS, PBS pays its CEO over a million dollars a year !!

Given all that is happening, I think a pay cut is in order !

AT Newton, MA, maybe 1,500 people, there was just one guy, he had a photo of S Miller, and a rather nasty comment below the photo

other then that, no far left wierdos

BUT

there were no signs about rent, student debt, medical costs, so we really have to do better on that next time IMO !!

your post is so inaccurate and whiny that you should apologize to your followers and delete it

but you won't cause you are a lawyer, and you don't have the basic decency to admit you are wrong

not precisely correct right now: NYT has below the fold, small story

I have been to every rally in Boston and the Avakian people are always there, working hard an organized

I think Avakian is doing a public service, cause god alone knows what his followers would do if the didn't have Avakian

@delong.social If we are looking for hiQ delong smackdowns

?? the ports are not empty

you made one of the classic blunder, along with land war in Asia you assumed that what Trump does today will be what he does tomorrow (far as I can tell, flat out racism is the only thing he does consistently)

sloboula.bsky.social @sloboula.bsky.social · 11h

no this is literally not true and if you hadn't flunked 5th grade math you would know it isn't true; even if 5 million turn out nationwide, that is far less then a maj of voters in most democratic primary elections

Newton MA, guy commented to me:

we need more about Rent and Student loans

sloboula.bsky.social @sloboula.bsky.social · 11h

as far as I know, they have never been able to clean the paw prints off of the windows, so those office suites in the Empire state building rent for less (unless you get some wierd guy with an old movie fetish)

To be honest I find the hundreds of people in my hometown more inspiring than the hundreds of thousands of people I marched with in Manhattan. I grew up in Michelle Bachman’s district. Tom Emmer is the rep there now and all these people are showing up to tell him to get fucked. It’s wonderful.
