🛒Grocery Pricing Facts

Independent grocers do not use surge pricing. Our members rely on standard pricing, promotions, and discounts to remain competitive and keep food affordable.

We have designated 1B/OF Nick Castellanos for assignment and selected the contract of INF/OF Samad Taylor from Triple-A El Paso. Taylor will wear No. 0.

Texas has had such a difficult time flipping seats D partially due to the siloed efforts by the various candidates over the years.

How do you not have your strongest running against Lt. Gov, Gov., Attorney General, etc.

Disjointed efforts, hopefully Talarico can pull it off.

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Stick a fork in it.

Attorney General Ken Paxton — endorsed by Trump in the 11th hour — defeats incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas Senate Republican runoff.

Paxton will face State Rep. James Talarico in November, in what may be Dems’ best opportunity to flip Texas in decades.

Colbert is an all time talent. Colbert Show was a trailblazer for all the gotcha political youtube / streamer stuff today, and his transition into mainstream was flawless. His voice will be missed on late night, but perhaps his voice is more useful elsewhere.

Hot take: There is a limited window of time, like any new industry, where a new tool appears and people don't understand it fully yet, and it's powerful enough to change your entire life, but not so powerful it's been completely taken over by corporate interests yet. And when this tool appears you have two choices: use it to skyrocket your life and take advantage of this TEMPORARY moment, or resist/hate/be angry/complain/, do nothing, and the moment is gone forever.

These brief moments in time are when shifts in the game board happen. It happened with Crypto, its happening with AI, it happens with any NEW thing. These shifts in the game board allow people who came/come from nothing, to elevate, using nothing but DEMOCRATIZED tools, moving first, their creativity, and execution.

Our take is that instead of poo poo-ing the tool, USE the tool, improve your life, try applying the tool to the industries/things you know best, get creative, and catapault your way into a new class. You'll fine the sense of fulfillment you get as you're building, growing, expanding, learning, elevating your life, to FAR OUTWEIGH any feelings of superiority you get by hating and rejecting the tool.

If you don't use this time, VERY likely chance in the future, whether 5 years, 10 years, when you are older, have more family, more weight/responsibility, and the realities of life are much more tangible, you'll wish you had acted more during this time. You don't want to be filled with regret because you chose to hate/dismiss, instead of build/grow, which ONLY helps you and the ones you love.

TLDR? Instead of hating/dismissing a new tool, use this BRIEF WINDOW of time to elevate/improve your life. The window is temporary and if you don't use it because you want to please a small niche of people who don't really care about your success anyways, you may very highly regret that decision.

Disclaimer: Post written with care and consideration and in a good spirit. Please don't be hateful for no reason. This is to benefit those who these words get through to.

This is *insane.* Even if you are too tired to follow the news you have to understand this. The Louisiana governor has *suspended an active congressional election with 42k votes already cast* — it's insane.

we used to 86 drunk customers all the time but I don’t ever remember killing any of them

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REP. MARK ALFORD: James Comey is a very intelligent man. I would assume he knows what the term '86' means. I was a waiter for some time. When you 86 the order, you kill the order. When you 8647, that is tantamount to saying 'kill the president'

KEILAR: When you 86 an order, you get rid of the order, but you're not killing the food

ALFORD: It's the same principle
