That would be 1,080. Don’t cheat her out of the extra 5 flats = $11.00.

Does anyone within reach of this post happen to live in or around Churchville, Pictou County, Nova Scotia?

If you send a note to jfallows on gmail I'll explain why I ask.

I wrote about this earlier in the week. (I’ll post my writing below.)

The only way for the US to win this game was not to play, which is why no previous US admin has attacked Iran despite pressure from Israel and its proxies for years to do so.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social’s thread is worth reading:

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.

Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

How $154.62 in Gift Card Fraud Led to a Man’s Death in ICE Detention - Documented Chaofeng Ge was found dead in ICE custody last year, hanging in a shower stall with his hands and feet bound behind his back. His family wants answers.

NEW Chaofeng Ge, a 32-year-old immigrant from China, died in ICE detention in Pennsylvania last August. He was found hanging, with his hands and feet bound behind his back.

Officially ruled a suicide, some activists and lawmakers have raised suspicions. His family wants answers.

One of the missteps of TOS was to include some of this same type of misogyny. Changeling (re: a woman): “A mass of conflicting impulses”. Paradise: “the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question”. Lights: calling Lt. Romaine “the girl” throughout. Etc.

They supported the guilt-by-association party, and were surprised when they were accused of guilt-by association. (The fact that you can’t tell which ‘side’ I’m talking about there is (part of) the point.)

Coherence continues to dissipate. The colloquial term is “word salad”.

“We lie so brazenly just to show you again and again that we can do it with impunity and thus our power consolidates even more.”

Against “The People” It’s the one you’ve been waiting for.

What if we just gave people money? The economics of time and freedom The idea that there’s only so much money to go around makes a bastard kind of sense to the poor. If impossible decisions abound in their lives, it must be true of governments, too. Certainly, that’s h...

"I was skeptical. Instantly dismissive, actually. Money for everyone, even rich people? It made my skin crawl." This author went from hater to advocate after seeing that "in almost every study, one of the benefits that accrues is, quite literally, a future."

The evidence is clear if you look at it.

Shame on Senator Tuberville: Keep New York City out of your bigoted mouth.

This Jewish New Yorker is proud that we elected our first Muslim mayor. (2/2)

Deodorant and anti-perspirant are different things. The latter has chemicals that can cause more irritation, for example. So it’s important to know what exactly he sells before making this kind of criticism. Plenty to criticize with this guy other than his hygiene.

Five of those are copaganda shows. You know in case anyone was wondering how ICE gets away with it’s abuse of the public. Abolish.

Osprey.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Exactly. So-called “institutional knowledge” is a lot more contained in human beings (as opposed to documents) than a lot of people would like to believe.

As I've been saying, THICK is required reading.

Not Russia. Not North Korea. And not the U.S. under Trump. Other than those Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

Universal Basic Income

Billionaire installs malleable newbie as CEO, calls it “independence”. What is wrong with this picture. (Hint: puppetry)

And “laws of war” is an oxymoron init?

How many experts in warfare can dance on the head of a pin?

Nope. This is the same stupid “logic” that allows Trump to declare a fake “emergency” so he can operate under new “emergency rules” that give him more power. Now at national scale. The rest of the world sees that the U.S. is playing stupid legal games around war. Nichols, not so much.

You first, fucko.
You before my cousins with children, my niece's husband, and every other person who has breathed the air of a peaceful earth.

They won't draft your aged ass, Ladybug, but if you're so gung ho about war... step up or shut up.

Go, you fucking coward warhawk.
Just go.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.
