I literally no longer know anyone of working age not almost exclusively shopping at Aldi. Not people making 6 figures. Not single people. Not two income families. No one.
Is it just me, or is it impossible to get groceries for 1-2 people without spending $100?
Like, unless you’re just getting a bunch of junk food I don’t see how that’s happening nowadays.
I do not get paid “spend $100+ on groceries every week” money, that’s for sure

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Why would an online portal for unemployment benefits be only "open" limited hours. Make it make sense @dfl.org @governorwalz.mn.gov @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov
We don't have childcare bc I lost my job & can't afford it. So those are hours I'm with my kids. Let me do it at 5am or on a Saturday FFS.

I'm working through my stack of the last 3 months of medical bills for me and my kids. So many random lab tests and various bills. Almost every payment portal has an "I'm not a robot" or anti- auto entry functionality.

Y'all, please stop. I really don't wanna cheer for Slytherin Mit Romney. Not today. Not ever. No Newsom. He'd sell you and your first born for the next seat up the ambition chain.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Going back to catch up on some @bullseye.maximumfun.org and listening to the one from Feb with Tramell Tillman. Y'all.... Go listen to it. It's so good. As always @jessethorn.bsky.social is one of the best interviewers around and it's a lovely, deep, human conversation.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
