“I basically study swamp monsters”
“I’m a dinosaur orthodontist”
“Dead bird bird watcher”

The one thing I do appreciate about the US is that no other culture I have ever encountered would produce a folksong where the devil challenges a kid to a duel in an obvious morality play about hubris and then the kid just absolutely kicks his ass and wins the fiddle
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

people hear tech guys say their ethos is Move Fast and Break Things, they mentally add "in pursuit of Innovation" but no, breaking things is the means and the end. they move fast to get a spot under the next piñata, cause if you break the things these guys break, most times a lot of money falls out

11% of Texans are on SNAP — including *millions* of Texas children.
Greg Abbott could allocate Rainy Day funds to help feed Texas families.
He hasn’t though, because he doesn’t care about working Texans.

Remember: Walmart and Target have frozen vegetables and pasta for under a dollar.
Boycotting is privilege. Surviving is more important. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad because your doing what you need to do survive.
Having food is more important.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.
