Other things that should be pretty: Bottle openers. Teakettles. The container for your stovetop utensils. Your bread box and, yes, you should have a bread box. (I feel like Steve Carrel in Anchorman, just looking around my kitchen for things I love.)
I do have a gorgeous bread box, though.

When two police officers were shot in NE Portland last week, Oregon's right wing influencer sphere was convinced that this must be some radical leftist who did it. Instead, it was someone many of those folks had previously attended MAGA flag waves with. leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/por...

I think liberals ought to reengage this discourse. We dismissed manhood and masculinity as phony things unworthy of serious, positive discussion, and left it on the table for the chodes and assholes among us. Alex Pretti was what a good man should be. We should say so.

Trump, et al aren't just trying to take away our democracy, rights, & freedoms, they aren't just trying to take away our free will, they're trying to take away our values, our belief in the good, our optimism & our hope. Their cynicism and corruption and lies are corrosive of the good in us all.

The most important lyric in this song is “it’s a long day living in Reseda / there’s a freeway running through the yard,” the rest is only there to give that line a place to exist

!["Trump was in a bad mood," Cruz tells the donors, 'I've been in conversations where he was very happy. This was not one of them."
Cruz says he told Trump: "Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people's 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10-20% at the supermarket, we're going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath."
@ "You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."

We assume that someone will infiltrate the whistle chat and I truly hope they enjoy waking up to 1500-3000 messages from nerds discussing bridging, fine-tuning flow rate to print whistles faster, and posting pictures of their filament storage and/or cats every 7-12 hours.
