"What's that? He took it down? Oh, well thank goodness I voted for him. All's well that ends well, right?"
Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

Yo. I am straight-up fucking done with this cold weather. This is bullshit. The temperature needs to ease up a bit.

And once they have robots and AI, we're all laid off.
This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Coworkers and direct reports found out at work today that we aren't eligible for the measly overtime tax break passed in the OBBB because of the industry we're in. Whole lotta red-state cope going on.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

I called the Herr's Product Quality Concerns line and reached a nice lady. She listened to my whole little saga.
She waited, then said, "I bet you believe they're made from real potatoes now!"
I may never recover.

Got my first bag of potato chips in months. Cracked it open. The first chip out of the bag was... soggy?
The second chip was almost fungal.
Baffled, I explored the bag and discovered AN ENTIRE POTATO. Unsliced, brined, like a wad of seasoning juice. It had survived, and now was juicing the chips.

Don’t treat smoke inhalation or tear gas exposure with drugs for nerve agent exposure because you will make the victim worse and possibly kill them.

“Nerve gas” and “nerve agent” are not broad generic terms and they’re simply not applicable at all to smoke grenades, tear gas, or pepper spray
