He/Him. Liberal, software engineer, barbershop baritone. I am bad at tweets.

@superradleesha @AeornFlippout A lot of people (including Wirecutter) like Toto Washlet, but it’s not my favorite.

I loved the Bio Bidet BB2000, but moved to an apartment with a standard toilet (rather than elongated) which narrows your options.

My current is a SmartBidet SB-1000 and I like it pretty well.

A dumb conspiracy theory on the 13m missing votes:

There was an effort by dems to lower turnout in non-swing states so that Kamala would win the EC and lose the popular vote, raising support for EC abolition among republicans. They didn’t anticipate her losing PA, MI, and WI.

@BigTucsonDad The fun thing is that because they’re doing it while Biden is still president, Biden will still get the blame!

@mattyglesias We don’t need to *be* less left wing. We need to be *perceived* as less left wing. A lot of left wing policy ideas are really popular when they’re not attached to left wing politicians.

I’ve now experienced a big city Walgreen’s where everything is locked up and I understand now why everyone is so angry all the time

@obj_disoriented @SwannMarcus89 Makes me crazy when I hear people refer to this.

[F. Mermaid Abraham @mish_olson]

@DannyHeinz57 @SwannMarcus89 I’m with you on this. There’s no path to significantly reducing emissions that doesn’t involve average people making moderate to large lifestyle changes. It’s just a question of whether it will be voluntary or forced on us by circumstances.

@mattyglesias I can’t believe that a 10-year-old Broadway musical is not at the forefront of our cultural conversation.

Restaurant beers are 16 or 20oz, home beers are 12.

The math isn’t hard, seems like someone had one too many restaurant beers.

[Georgey @GeorgeLaROCK17]

Does anyone else agree 3 restaurant beers is NOT the same as 3 home beers. Restaurant beers get you more drunk for some reason. Need some opinions on this fellas.

@curtbianchi @guesswhat967 @TheViewFromLL2 They won’t switch to abandoning the EC. They’ll switch to EC “reform”. It will probably mean giving each congressional district 1 vote, effectively gerrymandering the presidency.

@Derek2137 @itssarahdutcher Also… at an insurance company? Are they managing the pharmacy benefits for CIA assets?

@cowboybecsbop He’d be better off if HE’D flown at half mast

Reading this thread backwards is way cheaper than seeing Merrily on Broadway.

@stageyrebecca There’s an alternate universe where a freakish CGI-de-aged Ben Platt plays a movie version of Anatole Kuragin.

[F. Mermaid Abraham @mish_olson]

@TurboStunkk @RobertSkvarla That is extra scary to me.

[F. Mermaid Abraham @mish_olson]

@HeavenlyGrandpa Ngl I’ve considered it

[F. Mermaid Abraham @mish_olson]

This isn’t exactly fair to California. Every state in the US uses too much plastic. It was just extra noticeable juxtaposed against the (marginally) decreased straw use.

[F. Mermaid Abraham @mish_olson]

The most fun thing I encountered in California was having the coffee shop not give you a straw for a drink served in a plastic cup.

@ASFleischman There’s a great episode where the family is on screens all weekend, and it’s the most relatable episode of the whole show.

@HeavenlyGrandpa Your hottest thirst trap yet.
