A 2021 Amtrak survey found the ideal layout for a high-speed rail network across the United States. It would be relatively cheap to build and would intersect every major center of commerce:

I used to work in a refrigerated warehouse. I’ll never forget the smell of a truckload of frozen chicken that had thawed during shipping. Every pallet was dripping chicken juice - the floor was slick with it.

A food inspector rejected the load, which otherwise would have gone to stores for sale.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

The first amendment only exists to protect straight white “Christians” who want to say slurs.
The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

This nation existed for 127 years without ICE existing. We can go back.
Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

Just accidentally texted Steve Harvey the plans for my invasion of France. I'd appreciate privacy during this difficult time and whatnot.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Put new bookshelves into our spare room and it made a world of difference. This is all of our graphic novels, zines, fiction and nonfiction. My home office also has multiple bookcases of film books.
