I will be present on this platform as long as the United States press and government continue to use it, but I will be doing my very best to use Blue Sky instead for all other purposes. Please, my beloved mutuals, the time has come to leave this place.

I mean this is funny but I do resent the meta-gag that "House only saves one patient a week" because it implies that he and his team *never* get it right the first time even when we aren't watching.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

@frankthorp IF SHE HAD VOTED FOR THE SCHUMER AMENDMENT THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. WHAT THE HELL????

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree I woke up half an hour ago and checked the news. Can I go back to bed without having to worry about missing something dramatic?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan What would this even accomplish

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree And Cassidy did this in exchange for...?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree Oh my fucking god

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@LauraEWeiss16 Of course this wouldn't be an issue if Cornyn, Tillis, and Murkowski weren't cowards.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan Here's hoping that doesn't end up screwing Dems over.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan Oh, Husted's Alaska and Sullivan's Ohio and both are up this year. That explains Collins too.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan The only non-vote that makes sense there is Cassidy. Is Bennet absent? Are Tillis, Murkowski, and Cornyn threatening to switch their votes and having Cassidy argue on their behalf?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan Who else hasn't voted yet?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree Oh is this one of those things where Schumer will vote no for procedural reasons if the motion fails?

...still one missing, though.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree At least two Democrats haven't voted yet and neither of them are Fetterman. What gives?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree They are trying to square the circle. It's not gonna happen.
The question now is if J6ers get taxpayer money before or after the midterms.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@TNCannuck @jamiedupree Well Cornyn and Tillis voted no so it looks like the question may be academic.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan Welp.

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@CraigCaplan Have Cassidy or Cornyn voted yet?

[spiderhyphenman.bsky.social @SpiderHyphenMan]

@jamiedupree Do you mean the whole bill would then need 60 or just that this is a procedural motion that needs 50 but actually amending the bill might require 60?
