@BeeClaudia00 My puppy, Honey, sleeps with her tongue out. It's the little things sometimes.

I’m going though some dark times today. I don’t need to talk about it but If you’re passing by this tweet and can spare some lightness that would be very much appreciated 🖤

@bebe1969 Several jobs at places that don't exist anymore, or have changed hands many times. Fleet Feet, Toy Stop, Cascade Lake, etc. Ridiculous to think those old paper records exist anymore.

I worked at Jack in the Box when I was 16. I didn't put it on my resume and I doubt there's any record of it so many years later. What was your first job and did you eliminate it from your resume? Trump is clueless about real life.

@GovLarryHogan What about those non violent criminals? Like the poachers you put on your Watermans commission - or ... yourself? time.com/7094238/larry-…

Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties continue to release violent criminals who are here illegally without informing the federal government. Angela Alsobrooks is leading the largest sanctuary jurisdiction in Maryland, and this dangerous policy puts Marylanders at risk. As Governor Moore has said, she is violating federal law. We need to secure the border, reform our broken immigration system, and reject these reckless policies. wjla.com/news/local/man…

Not to be confused with last week's Time Magazine story about Hogan & corruption with shady real estate self dealing...this is a separate piece detailng other shady self-enriching stuff. This man is corrupt and cares about himself and the cronies he's with time.com/7094238/larry-…

@notcapnamerica When you're used to 100%, 90% feels like oppression.

@KaylaAncrum Do regular shampoos make you itch a little? Do you get canker sores in your mouth regularly? If yes - sulphates/sulphides might be the culprit.

Learned today that my allergy to Wine includes dealcoholized wine, which is fascinating. Am I allergic to grapes??? Yeast? I am not allergic to non-alcoholic beer, or any other alcohol, just wine, and I am the MOST allergic to champagne. This irritating mystery continues!

Over Larry Hogan’s eight years in office, nearly 40% of the competitive affordable housing awards overseen by the governor went to developers listed as clients on HOGAN’s website, according to a TIME review of public records time.com/7081664/exclus…

As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵

local republican representatives in north carolina setting the record straight.

@Spicxer 100% agree that there should ALWAYS be money to help Americans. This disaster is unprecedented and the response is in terrain inaccessible in many ways.

I know a lot of MAGA are exploiting this for bad reasons but I have to join whatever chorus of voices their is saying we should not be giving BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to foreign countries for war when we can't/won't take care of people here!!! It's madness!!!

I am seeing people on the ground, who do not seem political, and people I know to be good people, on the ground in Western North Carolina reporting that FEMA has set up blockades and is not letting private assistance through?

@Spicxer They may be trying to prevent disaster tourism, which unfortunately is a thing. People will also photograph bodies with no regard for dignity, the notification process, or the feelings of survivors. Management of emergencies goes far beyond food, water and first aid.

@YNB The term is 'lathered' which I know because I was obsessed with horses as a girl.

oh my god

@sarahradz_ The filthiest looks I've ever gotten were when I let my kid jump in a big puddle outside his preschool in Northern Virginia. My kid was thrilled & joyful and they were furious as they pulled their kids away. I think they had places to go & couldn't have a wet kid along.

Today my preschooler was jumping in puddles and there was a huge group of parents standing around with their sad dry children talking about how they "don't let their kids jump in puddles" and it made me feel INSANE. It was so performative it made me feel performative

@editingemily Same.

My “For you” is like 80 percent right-wing propaganda. There isn’t an algorithm on the planet that would serve me that content unless someone had their finger on the scale.

@afrosabi ALSO - my favorite gift for weddings is to put together a box of spicy and sweet @Penzeys stuff - to wish the newlyweds both in their lives together. Even my relatives in Germany demand a visit to Penzeys when they visit. It's THE best quality, period.

I know a lot of you buy this brand so can you recommend some to put on pork shoulders, or salmon, or chicken? I need to support them!

@afrosabi Northwoods or Southwest seasoning are both great on Pork as a rub (put on a day or two before & cook looow and slooow - or on chicken. My oldest uses both as Nacho sprinkles too. Foxpoint (which VPH got) is amazing on any kind of fish, eggs & white meat chicken.

@realgirl_fieri 100% true. DIL here. Sitting outside a rehab center, waiting to pick up my MIL after another surgery & stay. I've been unpaid primary in her care for 20 years. Prescription & grocery runs, therapy & doc appts, overnights when illness hits. It's unsustainable.

100%

@big_monkeyball At my hs, two girls were caught kissing and their life was made a living hell for 2 years. I was a freshman, they were juniors. They were shunned and harassed and the school did nothing.

If you went to school in the 70's, 80's or 90's! Do you remember any gender confused kids?
