@bryancurtis Yeah, seems like 14 is the specific number. “Approximately a dozen,” or else… 14 staffers.

Read this. Just read it, every word. @Tyler_A_Harper is singlehandedly (so far as I can see) holding up the tradition of essay in the Joan Didion, Edward Hoagland, Annie Dillard, James Baldwin, Philip Lopate sense. I love an essay like no other form and this one hits every note.

@julie_bush Shades of du Maurier’s Rebecca?

@bryancurtis @jasongay This was so excellent that I can overlook Jason saying that three “criminally overused adjectives” apply to Turner, and then offering three nouns. 🤣🤓

@PastorTrey05 I was just thinking about this the other day and wishing they has said, “Well, just tell us one book of the Bible that ISN’T your favorite.” Or… “Just name a book of the Bible.”

@NFLMemes Lol, but it’s first graders. My second grader (age 7, born winter 2018) was alive for the win in 2019. And she almost born before the SB loss in 2018!

@usatf Well, you spelled “Frisbie” and “O’Keeffe” wrong, but you got “Vestri” right, so you’re doing great, @usatf! One outta three!

This articulates what I’m feeling: If you don’t care about sexual assault, family separation, or racism, but you support Trump because you think a dozen eggs might be a little cheaper, you are operating in a different (amoral?) reality and I don’t know how to communicate with you

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

This passage from Michelle Obama:

"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."

@Predamame Well this is lovely

[Abigail Lorge @AbigailLorge]

@EliMcCann Yes. Mazel tov!

@JillSAnthony The US should better educate people like you: it should say “its population” not “it’s population”

@fast_women Ooof, they got good fields, and I am all about showcasing women’s track, but this felt like a circus. Painful to watch, so we ended up muting in between races. I was just cringing.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

your pet is more likely to be shot in the face by a Republican governor than be eaten by an immigrant

[Noah Garfinkel @NoahGarfinkel]

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

Here it is. Here's Vice President Harris' full answer on abortion:

"The government and Donald Trump, certainly, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body."

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Good answer here for the swing demo of Orban Moms
