Sort of hoping this means I’ll be paid to eat out, but probably not, right?

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

It’s funny because I was thinking “I’d leave it out to test people,” and then I remembered that I don’t let other people into my house, so it was more of a concept of a plan.

Here’s another thing: Aaron Judge is incredibly bland. Does he make baseball more fun to watch? Is he a better STORY than Raleigh? Absolutely not on both counts. I don’t care about stats as much if they’re being put up by a large jar of mayonnaise.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

I just got shingles, the year before I’m eligible for the vaccine. Well played, shingles. To be clear, otherwise shingles sucks, but that was clever.

There is a coffee shop across the street from my apartment complex I could walk to in theory, but not only is there not a cross walk, there aren’t even sidewalks.

The thing is "i just want to able to walk to my daily needs" doesn't require manhattan yet is maddeningly out of reach for most Americans

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

This is funny because the same thing happened to me after the self titled album. I just felt like they got less and less interesting.
