What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Trump saying that he's going to find out & prosecute whoever's in the Epstein Files, is like Elon Musk telling people that he's going to track down & stop whoever's been doing all those Nazi Salutes.

It just.
Does not.
Make sense.

I don't know why people keep using inferior baby formula. Pro Tip: If it doesn't have real baby in the ingredients list, it's garbage. Accept no substitutes.

No, it’s cool, I’ll just never get sick again. Neither will any of my friends, or any of their friends, or anyone else. It’s fine! Good job, all.

Dammit.

Amazon got rid of my favorite female Alexa voice skin, which was that of a demure Indian woman...

Or... As I liked to call her... "British Accent Number 2".

The big problem with Democratic Senators allowing the Trump Administration to successfully use Mass Starvation as a lever to push through unpopular & immoral Legislation is:

Now that it worked, it WILL happen again.

From now on, every time we resist, they WILL starve us to get what they want.

I've just invented a new product that's like bubble wrap but each bubble contains a tiny portion of french onion soup. There is no market for this product and it's very difficult to manufacture. My business model is "buy it or I'll attack you"

I just created a new Chat Channel in "Star Trek: Online" called "Gorny Jail". It's specifically for Gorn Puns, Gaslighting & Giggles.

It's open to everyone who enjoys a... Tellarite atmosphere. If you don't have anything nice to say, Type "/channel_join Gorny Jail" in a chat window to engage!

I notice that some of the wealthiest men in the world are losing their hair very rapidly. Elon Musk. Donald Trump. Jeff Bezos. The list goes on and on.

One might think that it's because of all the stress from managing a Capitalist Empire, but the truth is much simpler:

Fortune favors the Bald.

Tonight's pizza. Homemade sauce & hand rolled dough, start to finish in under 2 hours, including prep & baking time. May it be consumed as quickly as it was constructed.

If every person got to choose their own Grim Reaper at the time of their death, to come and collect their souls, who would your personal Grim Reaper be? I know who I'd choose.
