We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)

I hope a certain Kentucky County clerk is having the hysterical fit I imagine they're having.
At any rate, I hope they have the life they deserve hereafter.

I wouldn't be surprised if a backroom deal was made in which the GOP told the Sen. Dems that SCOTUS will send KD packing if the Dems cave to the GOP, or SCOTUS'll grant certiori and overturn Obergefell if they don't.
With SCOTUS in their pocket, the GOP is 1955 Biff with the 2015 sports almanac.

Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.
The Pop! maker warns of potential loan defaults without fresh funding or a buyout, after a 14% sales drop and $250M in obligations.

So, basically, if, like us, you have to go there once a quarter for THAT ONE THING that no one else carries, stay more than 10 feet away from all employees and use the self-checkout. Got it.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

The expression "what the fuck" does indeed suggest that in any given situation there's only one fuck notable enough to merit a sake.
I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.
