What in the world is that emoji? I think my eyes are getting worse.

Yes, weren't the implications from the Chevron case that the FDA wouldn't be able to ban ingredients anymore? I thought the government departments were all basically stripped of powers and could only make recommendations to Congress.

Got to go read, now, and figure out what I misunderstood...

You and Clarence Thomas both can leave, now. There's no room for you here.

It's not too late. Imagine if Biden actually had a health crisis between now and November and had to drop out. No way would the Democratic party not galvanize to find a replacement.

Ezra Klein has had some good content on this topic recently. He talks about how a new candidate might be agreed upon at the upcoming Democratic National Convention, and the positives and negatives that might result from that switch. The drama of it all would likely lead to increased political engagement, too.

A bear on my road has learned to open cars by using the door handle. Pretty amazing. It got into mine, ate something sugary, and left with no damage other than mud absolutely everywhere.

Now I lock my car doors at night with respect for this boss bear.

I was going to ask about your home language, as dogs definitely do not "wa" in the US 😹 I love those differences.

Edit: Also, I think of German children's stories as being very bloody: kids get maimed, and the world is generally dangerous. Is that still present at all, or am I out of date by 100+ years?

Hidden gem. Thanks!

I got got. Germany is exotic to me, and I'm gullible.

I see a chin on my cat?

Love it, and i very much doubt that was the hairstyle!

Wow, you're right, I didn't realize she was that old.

No mention anywhere of Warren... Did she fail too hard in the primaries?

Gosh I'd love to see her debate Trump. He would never agree to it though, as she'd rip him to logical pieces.

As far as I know, Biden chose to run for president again. If that was forced on him, then yes, what's happening is terrible. But if he made that choice freely, then we're only attempting to vet candidates for the job as we always do. If he can't handle the vetting process (as flawed and televised as it is) then he shouldn't be running...

He should be at home chilling, not taking on one of the most demanding possible jobs for another 4 years. His decision making may or may not be fine, but the he obviously can't consistently meet the communication demands of the role.

The alternative is worse, but I'm not happy about voting for Biden. 3rd parties and RCV, please!

I hear you buddy, but I think that chance was squashed by the DNC last time around. He was old when he ran, and he's 8 years older than that now. Besides, "the South won't vote socialist" is still just as true now as then.

I wish it weren't so!

I wonder if you're just using different muscles? Like doing a bench press vs an overhead... I would have thought those were all the same muscles, but they are absolutely not!

Please hire me. I need a job, and a visa to leave the US... Y hablo español.

Do they hurt the backs of your ears? I've had some cheap in-ear headphones that also had curved plastic to fit around the shell of your ear for stability. I'd have to take them off after an hour or two in pain, but not because of the in-ear component.

I'm still using the 3a, but I've broken the screen at least 4 times. I'm clumsy, but I don't think it's just my fault? That screen is ridiculously delicate.

However, once cracked, the hauntings begin. There are touch controls attached to the display that go haywire, and it would cycle through clicking buttons like Russian Roulette: it called the emergency line twice while cracked, and would just power itself back on when I turned it off. I finally bought a screen protector and haven't had an issue since.

What country are you in?
