Just for you @itsnotaboutthecell.com www.instagram.com/reel/DekD5dn... Have a great event!

People are the worst.

Ooooh, just my daughter and I doing our part to save democracy. What did you do today? #RaiseALiberalFeminist #VoteBlue #VoteYourOssoff #HaveTheDayYouVotedFor

Also, you know. Bluesky is not a fucking Nazi bar.

I don't mean to brag, but Jon Ossoff is my Senator.

We have a new, shorter measurement of time than Scaramucci, which was 11 days. A Zacharia shall now be used to signify 5 days.

caught myself thinking "if everyone could just..." and realized that it probably won't happen. everyone doesn't just.

Reason #1,326 that I believe this really is the worst timeline. Grown adults, who should know better, that walk into airplane restrooms in their socks.

Amen, Charlotte!! Vote! And present a united front for the election!!

Do you think this bar has enough bottles of Campari? You know, just on case the apocalypse strikes.

Scenes from around Munich yesterday.

This is why we can't have nice things. wtam.iheart.com/content/2026...

@spaghettidba.bsky.social This is for you. In Barcelona at #sqlcon They served me cappuccino at almost 10pm. No questions asked.

Really chuffed to be doing the first-timers hour with Leslie Welch. If you've spent a conference wondering whether you're the only one who doesn't know what's going on - you're not. Ignite Stage, Tues 13:30 CEST. #FabConEurope26

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Trump's team has proposed adding his name to Ford's Theater, where Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. I have to wonder, would it be Ford's Trump Theater, like Ruth's Chris Steakhouse? Because that's as ridiculous as anything else they've done

Workshop CFC for FabCon ATL closes tomorrow!

Most days, I am convinced we're living in the absolute worst timeline. Then along comes a spark... I learned there is a style of clothing described as "comfy airport clothing for women." I realized we're QUEENS. We're grown! We can wear whatever we want. They (mostly) don't look like pajamas.

Flying to Barcelona for your first FabCon? Leslie Welch and I have an hour on the Ignite Stage, Tuesday 29th, 13:30 CEST, for every question you think is too obvious to ask. Those are the good ones. #FabCon #FabConEurope26

Why didn't he ask Taylor Swift what would she do?

Breaking: Josie and the Pussycats will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran.

May it be as organized and entertaining as the America 250 celebrations

Only one man can save FSU tonight

~3 weeks out. You'll leave able to deploy Azure SQL/Fabric SQL from a pipeline, all in source control. @jpomfret.co.uk & me, 28 Sept. espc.tech/conference/f... #IaC

When you go to flirt with your spouse and say with "How familiar are you with BF Skinner's work on operant conditioning? I really like your cologne." and then realize he's not that kind of nerd... But when you explain he says "yeah, that's why I wear it." So it works out

I just saw a dog in my hotel. I big ol husky puppy. Day made. That's it. That's the post.

The GOP insults for Jon Ossoff are hilarious, insulting his looks & calling him a theater kid. Begging your finest pardon; Ossoff is smoking hot, smart, quick witted & openly flirts with his wife. You're telling me he can be Lin-Manuel Miranda like its a bad thing? newrepublic.com/post/214414/...

Take a future Hegseth presidential bid seriously. A pure culture war candidacy by a former Fox host with Christian nationalist ties makes much more sense than a Rubio run which strikes me as a total fantasy without a real constituency. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Gammons. “I am worried about all of the ‘men’ playing in women’s sports. We have to support the women in women’s sports.” Normals. “Name three ‘men’ in women’s sports”. Gammons. “…. Normals. “Ok, since you are so interested in women’s sports. Name any three women’s world champions”. Gammons. “….

I'd like to report a murder 🔥 @aliciamenendez.bsky.social show "On the Line" on @msnownews.bsky.social today Guest: Donald Trump doesnt have the tools in the shed he needs to negotiate the end of this conflict (Iran). Alicia: "Speaking of tools in the shed, JD Vance... "

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

In my neighborhood this morning. This Cybertruck is towing an enclosed trailer. Will report later if the bumper & trailer are still in place after the truck leaves.

Such cazy news! They're withdrawing the subpoenas issued for NYT journalists. It's almost as if it was never about "finding the truth" and is more about intimidation. Support and defend a free press. Democracy does in the dark.

German broadcast. Nailed it

Heading to the beach for a week, bringing a large cooler with us. We stopped for ice and Kris tightened the ratchet straps down. BUT he didn't slap it and say "That's not going anywhere." So to set the universe and avoid potential calamity, I had to do it. He watched, bemused. Am I a Dad now?

Grifters gonna grift. He told you who he was in 2016 and he's repeated it ad nauseum ever since. When are you going to accept it?

Rewrite: “McConnell’s office released a statement on his behalf which raised more questions than it answered.”
