I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

it is kind of wild that you can just be watching a fuckin hitler pop off and start invading places and snatching heads of state for a second act, but if you say the thing that you want to happen to him in order to stop that, it would be considered violent

Calling my reps now. Duckworth's line seems to be blowing up.
they are completely serious about this and may legitimately shatter every post-WW2 relationship with Europe over trying to take over an island that wants nothing to do with us

Got lunch at this new place on Kedzie in Albany Park, something called the “zinger” sandwich, basically chicken breast with some kind of sweet-ish sauce? Pretty good. The owner was super friendly, gave me some rice to try. Also very tasty. www.katkoutllc.com/Home

I did billing and insurance followup for many years. This is spot-on.
It's because we're largely not paying for healthcare. To a very large degree we're paying for middlemen whose business is limiting our access to healthcare. We're supporting a huge industry whose entire business model is getting us to pay for care we don't get.

Watching the news tonight in Brazil and I'm filled with anxiety at how much talk there is about our rogue government threatening Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland.

Congress needs to act. The president and his people need to be removed immediately. This is insane.

At no point in the last 150 years have fewer than one in ten Chicagoans been foreign-born. We've been a city of immigrants from the very beginning.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

As should be obvious by now, this is not idle chatter.
If the Republicans in Congress don’t get off their cowardly asses, we’re going to witness even more insanity.
Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"

"Why aren't Americans doing anything" bish we live in a huge, spread-out fucking country and when we protest we could be arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, let alone if we try anything else.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I ate a ton over Christmas, didn’t work out because I had Covid, have been really taking it easy ever since. And somehow I lost like 3-4 lbs? Remind me why I should exercise again (please don’t remind me, I know why it is important)

A world ruled by force rather than law is a world where no one is safe. That's exactly where this train is heading.
