@slicknet Thank you! Just ran into this issue when re-typing a just created password at a site. It was so irritating.

CONFIRMED: Nusrat Choudhury to be a US District Judge for the Eastern District of New York!

She's an ACLU Legal Director and I was proud to recommend her to @POTUS.

She makes history as the first Bangladeshi American and first Muslim American woman to serve as a federal judge.

@TheySeeBlue Biden’s accomplishments rivals Obama? They eclipse Obama’s! I was and am a huge Obama fan, but Biden’s experience overshadows Obama’s charisma at this point. If the infrastructure bill didn’t, the debt ceiling negotiations proved it. #Biden2024

@erenbali Sounds great. Except that if after spending all that effort, your parents end up supporting you even as an adult … who pays them?

[Shanti Subramanyam @shantiS]

@erenbali Reading this thread, it seems everyone is so proud of their ADHD, hyper-focus, etc. Just know that you are able to do this because of the support around you - whether that’s your wife racing ‘cos you forgot to pick up the milk, your assistant organizing paperwork… it’s not fun

@paulkrugman Get off this platform and go @joinmastodon

@bethanyshondark @TheFP Great achievement, worthy of bragging. The Rs think that just because a few women (or one?) can manage 6 children, everyone else should do as as well - so they want to ban abortion and birth control. #reproductiverights

@npew Accumulated knowledge is not a good test for intelligence, but learning that results in knowledge acquisition is.

@EyalCCohen @tanayj Teams sucks - Slack is way superior but it costs. If your company already pays for Microsoft Office/Exchange, Teams is free. That’s how Microsoft gains market-share. They did the same for Azure adoption. After all these years, Teams still cannot match Slack’s ease of use and UI.

Republicans market themselves as job creators. Democrats actually create them.

@paulg Delighted to see Wodehouse on your list. You can re-read Wodehouse every few years - I still get a chuckle and takes me back in time to my teens when I read them for the first time. I have a modest collection of them

@DrEricDing And why has China not vaccinated its citizens? Don’t want to seem weak because they couldn’t develop good vaccines?

[Shanti Subramanyam @shantiS]

@DanWoy @adrianco You may miss your gas stove if there ever is a power outage. Many times have I thanked my gas stove and match box when the loss of power still let me boil water or cook/re-heat food. Being climate friendly is to be applauded, but we need to be practical too.

[Shanti Subramanyam @shantiS]

@funder Oh yeah … so @JoeManchinWV can’t hold Biden hostage

[Gyan C Mehta 🇺🇸🇮🇳 @GyanCMehta]

Glad to see so many!

@PPact Dems should never be afraid of raising Reproductive Rights ever again! #reproductiverights #AbortionRights @TheySeeBlue

@BradleyWhitford @maiamimi @DrOz I’m selling a concoction made of green coffee beans for $50 an ounce. Happy to send you some @DrOz

@TheySeeBlue The thing is, when Dems do something like this, everyone is outraged, but when Rs do worse, there isn't a beep - because that is what is expected of them? #DemocratsDeliver @TheRealHoarse

[Shanti Subramanyam @shantiS]

34% of Georgia voters said they wanted a candidate that "shared their values" and Walker capture 72% of this vote. What does it say for their values?
- lie, lie and lie again, abandon your children?? @ReverendWarnock #GeorgiaSenate
