Some of you might know this story, but someone requested it as a reply to this thread, so I'll do that.
What you should know about me is that I've always had trouble with airport security, especially in the United States. I have 7 very Arabic names, and I travel a lot around the entire planet.

A daycare fraudster? On the day MAGA is hunting Somali-run daycares in MN because they believe they're committing fraud? This is as bad as pardoning the drug kingpin former president of Honduras while bombing fishermen for alleged drug smuggling.
This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

I wish every muni did this. Down to small towns. A van that runs a circular route picking up drunks at the bars and getting them home, and picking them up at home the next afternoon to pick up their cars?
Would reduce rural road fatalities by a big number.

I never remember to lotion my hands until it’s too late. Every winter I’m walking around with bloody knuckles like some kind of leprous wastrel. I think I’d use lotion more if I could like, feel it working. I need a more powerful lotion. The fentanyl of lotion

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Throwing out my controversial hot take to counter this:
Millionaires as a cohort are infinitely more important to every American elected official than billionaires as a cohort.
Winning elections pissing off billionaires is very doable.
Idk any rep who did so pissing off all millionaires

the especially dumb thing about it is that the US can afford to raise taxes since it is so wealthy, unlike other countries which have ended up in this position. But no, the 0.1% need tax breaks for their private planes and yachts.

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that.
We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE?
There are several in late stages of development.
Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?
