Yes. But since the mascot is a butterfly, I think this place should be called "Flutter" and posts should be called "flaps." "Did you catch the latest flap on Flutter?"

Then Congress should stop forcing them to work with such a tight budget.

No pretending, here. I remember what it was like to live in a rural area where only the USPS would go to the trouble of bringing packages right to your home. UPS & FedEx would mail you a card through the USPS and tell you to come to them to pick up the package.

Also always worth remembering: Vance is a Peter Thiel protégé. Was one of the principals at Mithril. (And a more corrupted, impure, corroded vc firm you will never, ever find.) More gross stuff in his background.

Cw- animal death. . . . . . . . . . . . . Mothereffers, can you please keep your cats inside? I had to see one killed horribly today when it darted under a car wheel in a parking lot. I am not ok and am going to have nightmares, as will everyone I was with.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

“Israel struck with overwhelming force, hitting it with *eight* 2,000-pound bombs… Scores of Palestinians in the area around the compound—which was home to a market, a water source and a soup kitchen serving displaced civilians—were killed and hundreds wounded.”

I think antagonizing marginalized people because you're bored is kind of rude. Perhaps it's just me

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

Rent-seeking has lower overhead and bigger profit margins than providing goods and services. That's become the basis of the modern American economy.

And the cubes were more likely to be easily caught in the air currents. The balls had to be retrofitted with little propeller beanies because they were too smooth to catch the wind.

FOX News is already laying the groundwork for a "the Secret Service allowed this to happen" conspiracy theory. This is a prelude to Trump demanding that, instead of the Secret Service, the taxpayers should hire Academi or whatever the Hell Blackwater is calling itself now as his personal security.

At first, they don't get long, but then they're forced to work together with the new rookie, Jet Jaguar. Then Jet Jaguar is badly wounded by one of the bad monsters and Big G & Kong unite to avenge him.

That's why I refuse to go on them. I'm currently locked in a pitched battle with my primary care doctor who wants me to use Ozempic while I am insisting on being tested for a condition I have all the symptoms of but he says those symptoms will go away if I just lose weight.

Those third spaces weren't crammed with hostile architecture or advertisements & other distractions. And you didn't have to pay to be in them. There's so much pressure to connect with someone. It's such a huge investment of time, energy & money just to interact face-to-face with someone. (cont)

You have to be, like, "If I don't click with them after 3 dates, I have to move on. Anything beyond that is good money thrown after bad" Some young people ARE trying to fight this, but the older people seem Hell-bent on keeping things as they are.
