My husband just marked Bella like an Uruk-hai with the White Hand of Sauruman.
*Disclaimer: she was not an elf once, taken by the dark power, tortured and mutilated. She's just a good girl with flour on her face.

Came to #FiveGuys to pick up dinner tonight. 3 cheeseburgers, 3 regular fries, one shake plus tip.... $83
But they were playing Queens Radio GaGa when we came in and threw some extra fries in our bag so it's cool.

Do managers ask men to "Lean in" on projects? Do they use that phrasing, Lean in? Or is that just a gendered phrase that tells women to shut up, not complain and do what they're told?

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Pardoned violent criminals & turned them loose on streets

Keys and I are both sitting in the living room, eating popcorn.
Both dogs are sitting in front of one of us, waiting for popcorn treats.
Any guess which one of us that would be? Who is the one most likely to give people treats to our dogs, essentially teaching them to beg?
