It could probably be halfway decent for a Bloody Mary. Though I’m sure what all the accoutrements are. Looks like a pickle (good), green bean (odd, unless it’s also pickled), and potato slices (???).

He’s going for gasps

It would never be Porter because she’s from California, the same state as Harris. Technically the 12th amendment says the president and VP must be reside in different states, though I’m sure Harris has established residency in DC by now. The more salient issue is that the democrats will want to use the VP choice to help win a swing state, or lock in a state they consider necessary for electoral math.

Whitmer was supposedly on the short list, but she said she would decline an invitation to be VP.

Exactly! It’s been endlessly frustrating to see Clinton criticized for being inauthentic in the 2016 campaign, given the criticism she faced earlier in her career for not sufficiently playing the role of “spouse”.

During a debate before the Michigan and Illinois primaries, Bill was accused by a rival of delivering favorable contracts to his wife’s law firm during his tenure as governor of Arkansas, TIME reported. The comment rattled Hillary, resulting in her making a comment that provoked immediate backlash: “I suppose I could have stayed home, baked cookies and had teas,” she said, speaking of “the sort of thing that happens to women who have their own careers.”

Her comments outraged many American women into a fit of rage, as evidenced by theLetters section in the April 20, 1992, edition of TIME:

The response to her comment had plenty of ingredients and flavor but not much sweetness. For instance, there is the reaction of disaffected voter June Connerton of Princeton, N.J.: ‘’If I ever entertained the idea of voting for Bill Clinton, the smug bitchiness of his wife’s comment has nipped that notion in the bud.’’ Then add the annoyance of homemakers like Cindy Berg of La Crosse, Wis.: ‘’I resent the implication that those of us who stay at home just bake cookies. We hardly have the time!’’

She wound up having to participate in a cookie bake-off with Barbra Bush to smooth over her comment.

Fortunately she could just order his assassination, call it an official act (“he was obstructing the confirmation of my vice president”), and get off scot-free.

Yes I realize this would never work because

1. Harris would never do that, and democrats would never allow it, and
2. the Supreme Court would immediately rule this is not an official act for “reasons”.

NYTimes reporting the call wasn’t anything exciting.

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to buck up the Democratic Party’s biggest donors on Friday, telling about 300 of them that there was little to worry about in President Biden’s campaign.

Ms. Harris spoke to the group at a time of extraordinary turmoil among Democrats, with many hoping that she will replace Mr. Biden as the party’s nominee. But several listeners said they found the meeting overall to be of little value and even, at times, condescending, believing that the message ignored donors’ legitimate concerns about the Biden-led ticket.

Ms. Harris, of course, is in a delicate position: She must demonstrate loyalty to her boss but also be prepared to jump immediately to the top of the Democratic ticket if Mr. Biden were to withdraw.

“Fun” fact: those kids would be old enough to vote this year, had they not been gunned down.

He didn’t have the magic ® next to his name.

The yield is small enough that it isn’t a threat to the soldiers launching it. Still, I wouldn’t want to be the one tasked with firing it.

That’s too straightforward - this is google after all.

There’ll be a new product that integrates this feature and they’ll call it Google Slides, while rebranding the old “Slides” as Google Presentations. Then in a few years they’ll kill off the new Google Slides, leaving only Google Presentations and tons of confused users.

It’s not on the US version of Disney+, can’t speak for other regions. It used to be on Pluto TV (free, with ads) but it seems that’s no longer an option either :(

Red delicious is an abomination that should be cleansed from the earth with fire. That variety’s sole purpose is to be used as a projectile to hurl at people who try to sell you red delicious apples.

Sugarbee apples are my current favorite.

The NYTimes has an article about it here.

“It absolutely could be showing the displacement of air due to a projectile,” Mr. Harrigan said in an interview on Saturday night after reviewing the high-resolution images that Mr. Mills filed from the rally. “The angle seems a bit low to have passed through his ear, but not impossible if the gunman fired multiple rounds.”

Simple ballistic math showed that capturing a bullet as Mr. Mills likely did in a photo was possible, Mr. Harrigan said.

Mr. Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second — extremely fast by industry standards.

…

“If the gunman was firing an AR-15-style rifle, the .223-caliber or 5.56-millimeter bullets they use travel at roughly 3,200 feet per second when they leave the weapon’s muzzle,’’ Mr. Harrigan said. “And with a 1/8,000th of a second shutter speed, this would allow the bullet to travel approximately four-tenths of a foot while the shutter is open.”

Reminds me of Blazing Saddles:

They said you was hung!

They was right!

Eh, the 2016 and 2020 debates didn’t do any better at challenging Trumps lies.

It will do federal taxes for everyone, and can also do state taxes for people in states that opt in. Only a handful of states were included in the beta testing version this year, but they’re opening it up to any state that agrees to participate next year.

“But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” he continued.

Yeah I believe that.

Oh sweet, a new Map Men video! Thanks for posting!

Seriously, that looks good enough to make me at least reconsider unionizing.
