Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.

CA-34 Ballot petition 🧵. Tl;Dr Rob Lucero is a perpetual candidate who stays the course of an illiterate weathervane reader.
🧵 A political encounter on the streets of my neighborhood:
Walking down one of the main streets for exercise I often pass lots of people advocating for various progressive causes – ACLU, Amnesty International, Sierra Club, etc.
The other day there was a table for someone running for Congress…

Need to figure out the engagement heat death formula for those new follows who enthusiastically jump into following because of one of my policing critiques / rants, and then find my real preference posts are Star Wars, role playing games and, let's call it "Cobra Commander as how I see my best self"

Not going to barge through a paywall door to tell the designer by way of actual play impresario "Hey, Gumshoe figured out a way to do that idea fourfold, it's called Yellow King" but someone paying for those brainstorms might want to put in a polite word.

Really, enough of the ICE isn't law enforcement nonsense. There's decades of reality in the way of that dipshit revelation.
I really don't understand why the guy who *checks notes* helps Microsoft make money or something is making this pronouncement. The present DHS is a product of realigning a bunch of largely legacy Treasury law enforcement agencies under the Patriot Act, if some dipshit wants to tarnish whatever 1/

I remember a strange emphasis by ICE to arrest Iranians seven months ago immediately after the U.S. bombed Iran, made me think DHS may prioritize arrests based on whatever country may be pulling focus during the Presidents daily briefings.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.
An administration of total inhumanity.

So presuming a Duncan Sheik musical adaptations from fiction continuity or "universe" do the characters who survive SPRING AWAKENING grow up to become the characters in AMERICAN PSYCHO? I can't get this out of my head, and feel, since I was fairly late to both, can't be the first to ponder this.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.
This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

This actually lends credence to the ICE aren't really law enforcement chatter. Real hard charger cops know to keep and how to use an empty Gatorade bottle, the wide mouth one natch because of the insecure overcompensating stereotype.
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

Pretty sure phone screens active during showtime are going to be far more disruptive than the existing food runner/usher system. It's been a while since I've been to a Alamo Draft House, but never thought the existing system was a problem, nor was it at other independent theaters who've copied it.

So speaking of cool stuff from Scandinavia, pretty cool Free League drop for Replicate Rebellion backers: an asset pack with templates for Data Sheets, Crime Scene Photos, Esper Photos, Mugshot Photos, and Independent Sentinel newspaper front pages, so Game Runners can better DIY case files. 1/

That's right. The real alphas among us are still raw dogging without a whole damn Air Force base serving as a contingency refuge in the event someone's Truth Social login causes a flicker in the cabin.
Only beta cucks turn around when there’s a minor malfunction on a plane. Real alphas power through.

I saw a couple of propaganda ads during the football games about how Europe is "freeloading" off the US.
The opposite is true, of course. They own a lot of our debt.
I thought the US investor class was aware of this, but I'm not so sure anymore.
Did other empires collapse due to massive idiocy?

This year's Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus seems a mellower more melon even rode than last summer's roll out. I also notice it lacks the pairs with Doritos note, guess I won't need this display to corroborate my invalidation of that claim last August.
