Yeah... You didn’t support Sanders. But the down ticket talking point is better than most, so, kudos.

My uncle did pass around photos of this *while* we were eating Peeps, though. I love my family (now that the one racist uncle boycotts the rest of us). Thanks, Mexico! Got lots of laughs and appreciation from my children and grandchildren of immigrants family

I’m inclined to disagree after this article.

I will. We worked together doing non profit outreach, and he was amazing at just being there for people who needed anyone to talk to for a few minutes, stranger or no. I know the schedule and being that person again for lots of worried/anxious people is draining, so I’m sure it’ll be welcomed. :)

Thanks for the proper info.

Huh. Fair enough.

We’re done here now, yes? Please?

Oh, also female voice “forgot my room number”, significant other “ I want to surprise her cause she’s working on our anniversary “, etc... Man, I love this kind of brainstorming. Good thing that moral compass keeps it squarely in theoretical territory.

Could be naive, could be so overworked that it’s easier to give in, could be fear of reprisal (“if my important boss doesn’t have me deliver her business papers by 7 AM you’ll never do business with ESPN again), etc. Humans are fallible.

My friend works desk at a hotel that routinely hosts families accompanying loved ones to the research hospital here. Often the patient stays while awaiting a procedure or while being treated outpatient. He kicks ass, and on a schedule that can vary between a 7 AM or 3 PM start. Props for hotel staff, who don’t always…

Agreed on the “not generally a fan, but in this case, yep"

Into the sun presumably

Heh.

Well put.

I go to the bar when I really want to watch a game in real time. Haven’t paid them money in ages except through whatever sliver of my pitcher dollars went to the satellite cost.

Jesus Christ.

By the way,Gawker and Jezebel: I’m on the ground in Michigan and spending my one day off every week in Flint. I’ve resisted so far, but can I GET OUT OF THE FUCKING GRAYS ALREADY?

I had a looong conversation today with a retiree who used to work in Alaska on emergency plans for a oil spill. Post Valdez even Alaska gives overseers power to make sure houses are in order for worst case scenarios, and if one happens, a carefully designed non political system kicks in- including experts, inspectors,…

Oh god I’m too tired....

The water from the river corroded the fuck out of them, so even switching back to the previously fine source didn’t work. So no, while the infrastructure in this country is fucked, not adding anti corrosive treatment to an already suspect source means Flint’s pipes are far more fucked than most or every other major…
