    I'm stable, losing very slowly - much more so than ever in the past. Plus I'm building muscle pretty rapidly. This last week without a kitchen has not been great but I haven't gained anything back, despite several Doordash and restaurant meals.

    There you go. Mostly peaceful, except for the severely brain-injured cop. One of the suspects was charged Saturday with assault of a special victim, resisting arrest and property damage. He was ordered held on $500,000 cash only bond. No information was immediately listed in online court records, so it wasn’t known if he had an attorney yet. Doyle said that for the majority of the night, the protesters were peaceful. He said police allowed them to block the street outside the station, posting a squad car on each end, so they wouldn’t be hit by vehicles.

    @jon-nyc said in Trump's campaign hacked.: ‘Foreign sources hostile to the United States’ are generally pro-Trump. Pulled that one out of thin air?

    @LuFins-Dad said in Pennsylvania: "We might not know for a while.": We can’t tell you how many we got till we know how many we need! Didn't Richard Daley say something like that in 1960?

    It all started with Kordell in the 90s. I imagine Steelers will use Justin Fields in a similar role.

    @George-K said in Master Sergeant Timothy Walz: Shortly after this story broke, some reporter on CNN did a story about JD Vance, and how, when overseas, he was little more than a reporter in Iraq. Link to video https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1822017694012498038 Oh... https://x.com/LarryOConnor/status/1821608223008530650 She doesn't like Vance's politics.. Shawn Haney, a retired Marine officer whom Vance has praised for her mentorship during those years, said she doesn’t agree with “much of his current politics.” Yet Haney she is able to “separate the person from the candidate and have those unconditional feelings of pride for someone that I have served with, mentored, and considered a friend for almost 20 years.” Read more at: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2024-08-04/jd-vance-marine-service-14739638.html Source - Stars and Stripes From the article: Vice President Harris, who has replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket, has assailed Vance for his shift toward Trump, claiming last month that he’d be “loyal only to Trump, not to our country.” Vance responded during a campaign event days later in Michigan, a crucial battleground. “Well, I don’t know, Kamala,” he said. “I did serve in the United States Marine Corps and build a business. What the hell have you done other than collect a check?”

    I had a friend go through it. Pretty much erased his personality and connection to the world.
