LOL. LMAO even. This was me 6 months ago too when people talked about flipping the senate though so WTF do I know?

I tried to pre-learn some phrases but that was absolutely useless as soon as someone said anything back to me. The restaurants I ate at either had a set menu I’d reserved ahead of time or a touch screen menu but I ate a bunch of convenience store egg salad sandwiches. In the two weeks I spent there, I had two conversations facilitated by google translate: the Japanese person would speak into her phone and show me the screen and I would say yes or no. I thought I’d have to be asking “how much is this” or saying “one of this please” when in reality I would just look at price tags and grab however many I wanted of something and bring it up to be purchased in a cashless transaction. “Excuse me/sorry” got a lot of use but I spent large chunks of my days without saying anything to anyone. All guided tours were led in English. There’s lots of verticality in Tokyo and you can kinda get an idea of what’s going on in those upper floors but going downstairs seemed like an adventure. Google Maps was awesome and could walk your ass door-to-door including subway stops. I know I walked past all sorts of cool stuff but I had plenty of cool stuff on my list to see.

He can move back to California now that we’ve shown we’re incapable of passing a wealth tax.

Meta fight back!

The ROI to defeat Prop 40 in California was definitely worth it.

2024 was rough. I swear Biden said he wasn’t going to run in 2020 and when he did I thought he could beat Donald again but it was clear he wasn’t the same right from the start. Replacing him was a historic fumble that should be studied. I voted as hard as I could but there are election-winning margins of people who simply won’t vote for a woman or a minority.

any impeachments just won’t get carried out.

They’d need to find 12 republican senators who are unhappy with what that lame duck president did to their majority.

Alan Iverson meme only he’s saying “Texas” instead of “practice.”

I’ve been voting for 30 years, never seen anything like tonight. Texas, Iowa, Kansas, South Carolina, and Maine were inconceivable just one war ago.

Chess

The non-negative commenters forgot to /s.

I kept getting notifications for a UPS delivery I wasn’t expecting. It was finally delivered, my health insurance company partnered with a cancer screening company and yada yada yada they want me to ship them my poop.

Donald bought the US stake at $20.47. I don’t know under what conditions we can sell any of our 433 million shares but it would be nice to capture some gain.

On recent podcasts, Nate Silver said his models had a 75% probability of the Dems winning both the house and senate, and then said his models had Hillary at a 75% probability too. He was all “as a poker player, I understand how big of a difference 75% and 100% is.”

At a strip club. Ma’am, this is a transaction.

I am stunned Prop 40 is polling so badly. Billionaires really bamboozled the half of Californians dumber than the average Californian.

She appears to have united the party.

Sore losers gonna loser.

Turning 50 next year, total eclipse was the neatest experience so far. I saw it in Indiana. It’s impossible to describe or capture in photos or video, you must experience it in person. Absolutely worth traveling for if you’re able.

I can only imagine what Clarence’s demands for retirement are. 9 figures minimum with a better RV than the one Colbert offered.
