I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

they know. they know you can get them at ace hardware, home depot, amazon, they know, they do not care. they are gaslighting the public to justify further murders. i am so tired of this fucking lib ass "doesnt she know what a hardware store is??" commentary.
The pigs claiming to be real heartland Americans have never been to Ace Hardware.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

this is a big fuck you to HistoricAerials, who have decided that massive watermarks isn't enough, nor is tinting the screen dark when it detects a screenshot, and is now hard-blocking all imagery when you use an adblocker. Your options are to stop blocking ads, or pay THIRTY NINE DOLLARS A MONTH

so did we ever figure out what the fuck's actually in the compounded off-brand wegovy/ozempic that all these weight loss startups are peddling or is it still just mystery juice?

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

IKEA review:
Cool furniture, wish I had more money to spend
Pleasingly octagonal
The food was incredibly mediocre; meatballs feel like a ripoff for the price. A friend rated the hot dog; they were out of hot dogs and no crispy onions for my consolidation veggie dog. Ate about half and tossed it.

Imagined a really stupid idea yesterday while nearly slipping on ice; the municipal flamethrower guy. Guy wearing a padded reflective vest, hard hat w/visor, flamethrower, big sign on the tank that says "STREETS & SANITATION / KEEP BACK 30 FEET". I wish I was an artist so I could draw this.

genuinely curious if this was somewhere in the inspiration board for Zooble. If not it's a really funny coincidence. @gooseworx.bsky.social
