Your accounts on social media can be banned if someone misinterprets a photo as a death threat, but the billion dollar plagiarism machine is allowed to tell you to kill yourself in no uncertain terms.
Neat.

I have found a bookstore in Houston I need to visit.
And @bussychan.bsky.social doesn't know where it is.

So, while it's not something I recommend, there are some benefits to befriending the coworker who becomes your boss through promotion.
Specifically, how often can you expect to tell your boss "get the fuck over yourself" on an issue and not expect to be immediately fired?

aunts/uncles = 10 years or more older than you
cousins = within 10 years of you on either side
niece/nephew = 10 years or more younger than you
terms like "first, once removed" are for early modern english people writing a will to see who gets control of their wooden barley mill

Ok look white people from small families. I, a white man from a large southern family, am here to help you understand.
Your parent's cousin has two potential titles depending on their age. If they're older than you, they are your aunt/uncle. If they are your age or younger, they are your cousin.

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Vulcans have a fondness for five letter male names starting with S and ending with k, in honor of Surak, founder of Vulcan logic.
Examples on screen include Sarek, Spock, and Sybok.
This means that a perfectly logical and appropriate Vulcan name would be Shrek.

I'm already Very Disappointed in Bungie, but they could earn some respect back if they C&D'd on this...
this is actually so insane
This is appalling and if Xbox doesn’t do something about it then they’re on the line for this marketing too

Day 4: I do not want to go to the hospital.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going, bcuz Dracca, but having to pay to go sit in a room effectively doing nothing, for hours at a stretch while having to deal with People is less appealing every day, and that shit started at pretty low appeal.

This is the most Seanan I have ever seen a post be.
YOU ARE KINDA WEIRD SOMETIMES.
Much like a roller coaster, I have two settings: stop and go. When I go, I go hard, so that I can make it through the inversions without falling.

You know what they say about broken clocks.....
Ted Cruz says that FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s statements about Jimmy Kimmel were “dangerous as hell” and compares them to the kind of rhetoric a mafia boss would use.
Cruz says he believes Republicans will come to regret using government power in this way.
