I agree with all that, but less so that she’s capable of doing anything meaningful with the demographic she’s targeting.
She should be targeting younger boomers and older x’ers if she wants to find a group that might want to listen to her.
(I say this as an older x’er)
I’m just barely old enough to for Jane Fonda having an opinion to be meaningful for me in any way, and I’m in my 50s. How on earth is she going to rally “disaffected young US voters” when most of them have likely never heard of her?
Missouri’s Republican attorney general, Andrew Bailey, has fought to allow the execution to proceed.
"The attorney general’s office, who had nothing to do with this whatsoever, are the ones who are trying to lead him to the death chamber. It’s pretty startling and extraordinary.”
I recognize that this is a horrible tragedy for this man and his family, and I hope there is somehow a last-second reprieve, but let this be yet another reminder - R is the party for those with no empathy, no compassion, no concern for anyone not like them. (and that includes the ones jumping from Trump’s sinking ship to cozy up to Harris.) If a Republican is running for any position in your town, any at all, vote for someone else.
It really is a fantastic album. It bummed me out to realize that the actual lyrics to Particle Man were not quite as meaningful to me as they were when I was mishearing them (lol) but yeah, great album, and honestly I like Lincoln just about as much.
This is how I’ve loved cookies for my entire life. I’m just happy they are easier to find now.
Edit: I’m sincerely amused that someone downvoted me for expressing my opinion on the kinds of cookies I like. I didn’t know this was a “ketchup on steak” level issue. 🤣
Not offended, just seemed like you thought I was excusing it. I’m not - just acknowledging it. 🙂
Sorry, musta missed it.

I totally agree with your comment that I replied to. But I also know that making literally anything a requirement for gun ownership is a bridge too far for enough gun owners that I am doubtful we’re going to see any meaningful new restrictions anytime soon.
At least until the right stops salivating for a second civil war, but even that might not be enough for some sane attitudes to prevail.
JD Vance: See, just like I said, I created “stories so that the American media actually pays attention,” and now these Haitian businesses are getting the community support that they needed, just as planned!
I’d say if you are appropriating a name from a fictional character for your child (which seems an odd choice, but which I think people should be able to do) it probably doesn’t matter much whether you take further creative liberties with it in that way.
Ah I see now, I misread what you were trying to communicate.
Dude, we’re on the same side in this, I just know what some battles have already been lost.
Hamas != Hisbollah
And they also don’t use pagers, or cell phones, or…?
Right there with you, but there’s no legal expectation of privacy in public, so it’s futile to complain about on that basis. Especially when ring doorbell cams are everywhere already. So the silver lining is a security robot won’t do this.
I saw this when it was new-ish, and was really confused because I went into it thinking it was actually a Tarantino movie. Maybe I was drunk.
I remember watching the entire thing despite being confused most of the time.
Because he chose to work in law enforcement, and to turn off his brain. Not necessarily in that order Bobby, not necessarily in that order…
On the one hand, yes, on the other hand, it’s unlikely to brutalize or kill people for minor offenses, so maybe a win for a public space?
“Sometimes it’d be concerning for your car like someone could take it or something,” White said.
Wow, that couldn’t be a better sentence to highlight the layers of meaning in that comment.
Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.
So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough. (Edited to add - if you haven’t tried basic homemade pie crust dough you haven’t lived. It’s not sweet, it’s just good.)
I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.
If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.
