GOP pollster Frank Luntz “I’m trying to do a focus group tonight with undecided voters under the age of 27 for a major news outlet. And I can’t recruit young women to this, because they don’t exist.” The people who are ‘undecided’ have all collapsed towards Harris.”

Happy birthday to @JDVance

Who would have thought a fat beer drinking douchelord frat boy, a guy who takes millions in bribes and sexually harassed subordinates with pubic hair jokes while his wife tries to steal an election, a woman who is a handmaid in a crazy Christian Cult, a right wing Professor who told women they should consider family planning in job interviews, a guy who told an undercover reporter 'someone has to win' while his wife hangs flags upside down and the most spineless Chief Justice in history would destroy a constitution with 250 years behind it.

You know you all, I look around and see people attacking vaccines, elections, pasteurization, women's rights, art, literature and science. They're sticking the 10 Commandments on the walls of the public schools they are already killing with vouchers and begging to hand their rights over to a dictator. They want to drag us back hundreds of years and destroy the civilization so many worked so hard all these centuries to build. Now if the curtain comes down on the age of enlightenment, and Trump's Evangelical brown shirts are knocking on the door, I want to be having a glass of wine with and laughing with you, you smart, funny, beautiful people that keep me going. That being said, let's all vote Blue and hold it off for another couple hundred years.

This is a level of going viral I haven’t experienced before 😂

@sewistwrites So far this month, I've read 8 by Jocelyn Fox. The Fae War Chronicles and a prequel. Yes, they are fantasy fiction.

@NatlParkService All of the above.

Favorite part of the hike? A. Enjoying the view. B. Being in nature. C. Going to the car.

Trump last night: “We won New Hampshire three times now… We win the primary, we win the generals.” Reality: Um...

@davidpaulregier @ChrchCurmudgeon We renamed our office device Ziggy.

I have a new piano student named Alexa. I am afraid I’ll say, "Alexa, play ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’" and it will start blaring in the studio speakers.

No good deed can't be misconstrued if you try hard enough.

@TheDrunkenMenno Eerily close to my congregation's statement too. It occurred to me that we all look at other church's statements when writing our own, so chat GPT is just a more efficient plagiarizer.

Back in the day, it'd take 3 congregational meetings and lots of soup to come up with a vision statement like that.

The Taylor Swift Era’s tour is a global phenomenon but I don’t think many people realize the economic, physical, and artistic feat these shows really are: - The show is 3hrs and 25 minutes long. - Each concert is 44 songs, divided into 10 acts that portray each of her albums. - Taylor wears 40 different outfits each night. - It’s rumored to have cost upwards of $100m to produce. - It is on track to gross more than $1B, the biggest in concert history. Like this thing is top tier theatrics.

@kylegriffin1 @NBCNews Changing lawyers is a tried and true delay tactic. A judge won't deny new counsel time to get up to speed.

NBC News confirms: Trump just replaced the lawyer who's been leading his defense in Georgia — hours before his planned surrender. Drew Findling is out. Steven Sadow will handle Trump's arrest and processing today in Atlanta. @NBCNews

The planet had its warmest July on record "by a long shot," according to NASA and NOAA. The new milestone is just the latest in a series of worrying climate extremes in recent months, including record-warmth across the world’s oceans. nbcnews.com/science/scienc…

Who else absolutely LOVES this indictment excerpt quoting Trump’s “Senior Campaign Advisor”? 🤣

@yairmenchel I held out our 2 month old with a piece of poster board between us.

Passport worker - We're gonna need the baby to sit on the chair for the photo. Dad - She won't let me put her down. Passport worker - You're gonna need to figure something out if you want a passport picture. Dad - I got an idea...

@RALee85 I have worked with cluster bomb UXO and they are horrible. Dud rates are high. The difference here is people wanting to use them on their own land, knowing the cost of clearance in advance.

Ukraine's offensive will likely ultimately culminate due to attrition or ammunition expenditure. By tapping into the DPICM stockpile, Ukraine may be able to continue its offensive for longer than otherwise. It could also affect how Ukraine conducts the rest of its offensive.
