Vance has the motivation, but he’s always been an opportunist. He lacks the drive to do something like this. He’s lazy but will do his best to reap the benefits of others’ work.

Miller has the malevolence, but no real stake in it other than, Could I do it?

[Christopher Kent @Cekent]

He is more valuable and effective dead than alive I have half—a-crackpot theory that someone on the right had him killed just for this reason. And to get with his wife. Vance has the motivation, but Miller has the malevolence.

@CrashtagMe Is there a way to just order a replacement cord? I've had mine for 7 years and daily sweat has caused the magnets to start to decay--Thanks!

I'm not sad Charlie Kirk is dead and in America, that's allowed

I think Charlie Kirk was a bad person who hurt a lot of other people with bigoted words and in America, that's allowed

I don't want violence against anyone but the government can't require me to praise a bigot

@HomeDepot You promised me Monday July 14 delivery @HomeDepot And not just the possibility but, “get it tomorrow.” Tuesday, July 15 is not Monday July 14th. I know the calendar, MONDAY is the next day from Sunday. TUESDAY is NOT the following day from Sunday.

@BarredinDC What’s going on with Brookland’s Finest? It was supposed to be closed in April, but I was there last Saturday and it was business as usual.

How come for years all the album cover art in my Apple Music on iOS has been wrong, and every 6 months when I look for a fix it’s still a long, laborious process that *I* have to do to correct it, rather than some easy fucking update that @AppleMusic could run? @Apple

It's a good jobs report, and a big relief: The economy is going to hit Tariff-mageddon with a lotta momentum.

Payrolls +228k, well above expectations, and consistent with a remarkably robust and mature economic expansion.

Unemployment up a tick to 4.2%, but still LOW.

Grow up.

🪡 Any English speaker who has ever studied a foreign language will have encountered, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, a palette of familiar grammatical terms - especially if those other language(s) belong to the same (huge) family as English (Indo-European) /1

They hate Christianity in the Nietzschean way, which means that they hate it accurately for being a mercy to the poor and a command to be kind and honest even to the weak.

This is much more intelligent than New Atheists who hate inaccurate cartoon caricatures of religion.
