It’s a K-8 school. This is the town my parents live in, and believe me, none of us are surprised.
I believe I speak for everyone over 40 when I say, “what the fuck is a labubu?”
They do! And I don’t know if they use that tagline in their ads anymore but it’s on their website.
There is a personal injury law firm in Baltimore called Saiontz & Kirk whose tagline is “If you have a phone, you have a lawyer.” They did a ton of TV advertising when I was a kid. I thought that you had to have a lawyer to get a telephone.
Made the mistake of looking at my retirement accounts today. Should not have done that.
"Do we want to lose the country over defending trans people," is a deeply unserious question with only one right answer:

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I loved Target and would routinely drive out into the suburbs to get to one that didn’t lock everything up and I haven’t shopped there since the end of January. I think they gravely misunderstood who their customer base was.
This from Jill Filipovic sums it up for me:
"In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America."
Walz has become our desperately needed What The Hell Guy: the guy who says "What the hell?" to the press whenever Republicans do something bizarre or fucked up
“U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan ordered removal of prominent references to the displacement of indigenous tribes and incarceration of Japanese-Americans…Visitors shouldn’t feel confronted, a senior official told employees, they should feel welcomed.”
The reckoning really was just that one summer.
This article made me want to cry, but we all know that these types of relationships exist.
You can get this through Montgomery County too, and any Maryland resident can get a card there.

The paper that broke Watergate is too chickenshit to endorse a presidential candidate? How times have changed.
