@JRubinBlogger I can’t believe the media has completely ignored the fact that Trump is prominent in the Epstein files. They’re giving him a break on everything.

@sciam Glad to hear it, but is this a new policy? If so, why haven't they required it all along?

The world is drowning in plastic.

Experts say we need to stop making so much.

But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.

Don't be fooled.

@lesleyabravanel GDP compared to pre-pandemic

@zevoinsect I bought 2 bottles of Insect Killer for Fly, Gnat & Fruit Fly. Spray quit working while each bottle is about 1/2 full. Will only dribble out. Apparently loss of pressure. Tried "Contact Us" on Zevo site but won't recognize this product name.

@ODB1679994 @zevoinsect I'm having the same problem. Bought 2 bottles. Spray stopped working while each bottle is about 1/2 full. Will only dribble out.

@ProcterGamble @PGVstudio @zevoinsect I bought 2 bottles of Zevo Insect Killer, but the spray stopped working while each bottle is still about 1/2 full. I can only get it to dribble out. Seems to be a loss of pressure so the spray doesn't work. Zevo's "contact us" won't recognize this product name.

@OffThePress1 "Neglected and ignored" by mainstream media? You guys are neglecting and ignoring your own mission, just following the herd of pundits who think they know better than the voters.

I don't normally post videos, but I saw Anand Giridharadas on @MSNBC and his idea really resonated. https://t.co/mKn6J9S2ZQ

@BeschlossDC Have you read "The Nazi Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill" by @bradmeltzer ?

[ElsaPeterson @ElsaEpltd]

@BeschlossDC Oh dear.

[ElsaPeterson @ElsaEpltd]

@sycamoreavenue3 @BeschlossDC Yes, I know. But is it called "hard" because of the hard liquor? Or because its consistency is hard when it's refrigerated?

[ElsaPeterson @ElsaEpltd]

@RHolemanWrites The surname Harley is part of my ancestry. Makes me feel cool even though probably exactly nobody who knows me personally would describe me with that adjective, LOL.

[ElsaPeterson @ElsaEpltd]

@DavidFMills @jamiehanna2 I would say they're very pretty! 😍

[ElsaPeterson @ElsaEpltd]

@aacevedo @Shawn00Guerra @BeschlossDC LOL. I've always wondered if "hard" refers to the hard liquor ingredient. I guess I know where you stand on that question!

@robertjwolfmd Pecan. But none of this bourbon pecan or maple pecan or other fancified pecan. Traditional pecan pie w/a perfectly baked single crust and a filling made of corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and eggs, w/a little vanilla (and pecans, of course).
Oh, and I pronounce it "pe-CAHN."

@TeaRoseRock Along with the abandonment of hat-wearing went loss of knowledge of hat etiquette. I've seen too many men keep a hat on indoors, even at the table -- or, worse, lay their hat on a restaurant table -- ewww!

@amylee_writer Did you ever hear the Prairie Home Companion story about the elderly dying farmer whose wife cooked a big meal for his (anticipated) funeral, and he struggled downstairs and started to take a bite when she reprimanded him "That's for the funeral!"
