Retired Oriental Rug merchant, fluid power system engineer for a component distributor, at 84, mowed properties for older people. Today, ice skating guard for the local ice rink. So fun to be around young people living afar from US.

She will genuinely be one of the smartest governors Michigan ever has. Wellesley, Oxford, and Harvard is no joke. The whole ticket is stacked in terms of credentials.

“Gifts for Men”: a basket of cleaning supplies and the complete works of bell hooks

Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social

Man the lists for “suggested gift for male friends” is so bereft, it’s all wallet or headphones or booze. I pride myself on being a good gift giver and I will not be defeated.

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

It doesn't show that at all @nytimes; it shows that Ramaswamy is a gigantic asshole. You guys cannot write a headline or lede that's straight up, can you?

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Many fellow GOP politicians have distanced themselves from Vivek Ramaswamy’s brutal ad targeting Amy Acton, his Democratic rival in the Ohio governor’s race. The fallout shows that major political figures are still split on what is fair game for campaign attacks in the Trump era. nyti.ms/3WKjsqs

He blames his "cognitive decline". So. By that rationale, he was "running" Indiana while not in his right mind. I call bu11sh1t. He's using lack of mental fitness as a scapegoat, which is insulting AF to people who are truly in decline. #Indiana #voteblue

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.
