And all for just $30! Probably an up-charge for the Choom Room though.

@willcollier @MUGGER2023 @brianstelter Follow up question: Why did it need seven?

@EliLake @willcollier The thing is, when I first glanced at this, I fully believed the statement was issued yesterday.

Imagine how much time it takes to get that rakish uncombed hair look just right before doing an interview. Dedication.

Graham Platner: “We should never tax someone into poverty. We should also still raise taxes on billionaires and corporations. Bezos wants us to think if you raise his individual taxes, that money isn’t going to pay for all the things you want. That’s why we’re not raising it just on you. We’re raising it on all 930 billionaires in the US. It’s why we’re also not just going after your income, but the wealth as well. The wealth they sit on, the wealth they never actually bring into the real world so they never pay capital gains on it, but they borrow against it so they can have liquidity. Of course Jeff Bezos is gonna tell us if we raise his taxes things won’t get better. He doesn’t want us to raise his taxes. He’s a greedy person. That makes perfect sense to me that he would say that. He’s just entirely wrong and self-serving”

It just took me about half the book to finally catch on.

Although I struggled with Post Captain for a while when he began introducing the female characters. I kept thinking, “Dude, I didn’t sign up for Jane Austen.”

@b_miklasz Yes. The early cries of “Whiteyball is back!” seem as distant an echo as the real thing. All griping aside, I’m still watching most games to the end, which was not the case the last few dreary seasons when down 3 runs in the 5th meant looking for something else to do.

[Scatbug Redux @scatbug1]

To properly understand my TL, I suppose I’ll need to ask Wikipedia who Scott Pelley is. Maybe after I get around to Hasan Piker.

[Scatbug Redux @scatbug1]

@b_miklasz Add overrating his speed/base stealing threat, and we’ve got the complete picture.

Wish there had been more films.

[Jim Hayes @RegionalTVCat]

Always great to see this guy.

@AugieNash It also helps to have hitters who don’t flail at a pitch above their helmet for strike 3 with a runner at 3rd and no outs.

Kept me going for months.
