@AliceFromQueens It’s so cute that you think mowing the loan is the only non-housework most husbands do.

This is 50% just a mirror of old-fashioned husband gallantry, channeled through sitcoms, where husbands pretend they're inept & wives are all-knowing supermoms.
But it's 50% that women do more housework & childcare. so when they earn money as well it's like. why tf is this guy so proud about riding his tractor mower twice a month while I corral a toddler trying to jump onto the mower
Tim Carney@TPCarney
How widespread among liberal women is this knee-jerk, completely certain conviction that husbands are useless? Where does it come from? I see this everywhere--on social media, in the NY Times, etc....

@NavyYardNats Two hours prior to game time and you’re fine. Hour and half you’re probably safe, and hour prior and you’re pushing it.

@NavyYardNats @NationalsPark @starwars @whatwouldDOOdo Any estimates of how early I'll need to get there to get Baby Yoda? In the old days you pretty much had to be waiting when the gates opened. I'm using SPH tickets, but I'm not the primary plan holder, can I use that dedicated plan holder gate?

@LPDonovan @conorsen If only that were the problem. Sales of the largest townhomes in my community seem to go to people in their 50s and 60s w/o kids, or seemingly grandkids.
English
@conorsen At the risk of compounding total boomer luxury capitalism we unironically need to find a policy mechanism that incentivizes sale of the empty nest.
English
This is a subset of the affordability debate but I think there are a fair number of youngish Americans with $200-250k household incomes who feel like that should afford a nicer lifestyle than it actually can in top 10 metros (in part because retirees still have the good houses).

@Holden114 Sommer is a wannabe tabloid writer and it speaks poorly of the Bulwark that they hired him.

@SS_strength @Jacob__Siegel Yep, that’s me. Or more accurately I Wasn’t Doing the Program Right until my 40’s.
English
@Jacob__Siegel Only thing I’d say is, originally, that target demo is probably accurate. But 15 years later the median age is probably somewhere in the mid 40s (All of whom wish they had started when they were 18-25 😂)
English
Starting Strength is one of the great pieces of practical literature written in the past 50 years. It contains more useful information and enduring heuristics than most books.
But it's intended for 18-25 year olds. And it's a manual for how and why to be strong, not how to look good in cut-off jean shorts.
I didn't discover it until I was in my late 20s, at which point I found it extraordinarily helpful and admirably clear in its prose. I had enough sense by then to tailor it to my own specifications.

Read a book that included an anecdote about a woman who went to a dance class hoping to meet men and was surprised it was mostly women which is like a dude trying to score at a model railroad shop.

@LPDonovan I just want people to stop referring to any place south of the Beltway as Alexandria.

@jbarro @soblackandblue @PatrickRuffini The Virginia Redistricting Commission was passed on a bipartisan basis! You can sit here and argue that VA Democarts were responding to rational incentives but it was at the expense of a bipartisan approved process.
English
@soblackandblue @PatrickRuffini They could, but a federal gerrymandering ban could only pass on a bipartisan basis, and the filibuster would make it very difficult to undo on a partisan basis.
English
Re: Just pass a national gerrymandering ban.
Virginia had a gerrymandering ban.
How did that go?
English
@foster_type I’m not mad, just disappointed. Knew a lot of people who said, “I don’t like gerrymandering but…”
English
I basically live in DC and my district now commands all the eastern approaches to Richmond. If Phil Sheridan keeps tearing up them rail lines and the Army of the Potomac crosses the James, this thing could be over.

DDHQ projects Virginia’s redistricting ballot initiative has passed. The new lines draw out several Republicans in Congress. Old map: 6D-5R New map: 10D-1R (passed)

Which stage of grief is this?
Casey Mattox@CaseyMattox_
Among many other things, it is absurd that a 50% +1 vote can amend the Virginia Constitution.
English
Anyway since the Virginia-resident class of conservative journalists and operatives have personally come out on the short end of the stick on this redistricting fight, perhaps they can push their party to negotiate a national gerrymandering ban. Dems are ready to take the call.

@SGuisgond @hannahcenters Why are you assuming kids who want to play casually “put no effort into improving“ here? Have you ever coached young rec league kids? I have. Maybe determined parents & coaches could help casual kids improve more if they stuck around rec league for longer.
English
@hannahcenters Travel ball produces better ball players, just like in anything in life, if you are casual and put no effort into improving you won't be as good as others who do. You can't "want" kids to not be so good just so casuals can play more.
English
Travel ball is ruining all other levels of kids’ sports too. I’m watching it happen in real time this spring. There is no place for the kids who just want to play their sport when it’s seasonally time for that sport. The entrants into the pool vary to an extreme that it makes it hard for the players to even play together, despite being the same age. It takes the joy out of it for the kids who just want to play. It’s only going to get worse now that you get paid for playing in college, too.
English
If you’re traveling for a match I guess you’re in a tight spot but if you’re a local it feels like waiting for the final 48-72 hours before match time is the play, particularly for the lower-tier group stage matches.

@MattZeitlin Short answer: yes, it was known that it was just shorthand for bands from the Pacific NW
I think it was more signifier of a new thing, hair metal was running on fumes in the late 80’s but Nirvana and PJ delivered the final blow and put it out of its misery.
English
question for gen x-ers: did everyone realize at the time that grunge was not really a musical genre...pearl jams is basically classic rock, nirvana was punk, alice in chains was metal, soudgarden was drugs...what was going on there...
English
@runnersworld This is a dumb take. We’re not talking about some shit like the San Jose Rock N Roll marathon or whatever. This is the Boston Marathon. It’s about excellence and pushing yourself to qualify for the pinnacle event of long distance road racing.

After online backlash, Nike took down the sign that read “Runners Welcome. Walkers Tolerated.” on Newbury Street that was put up ahead of the Boston Marathon.
