Dear Internet,
The rebranding of Cracker Barrel isn't "woke" or whatever.
Progressives hate it as much as you do.

This week has been weird and it's only 7:00 am on Tuesday. Yesterday there were the tourists on the ferry that decided they need to push into me to take a picture despite there being 3 or 4 feet of free space in the other direction.
Work was a mess.

My only request was if the line is 4 hours long, we don't wait in it, we come back later in the day. Get to the line, are waiting about 5 minutes and someone announces the line will be 4 hours long. That was half an hour ago and we are still in it -_-

Trigger warning is an interesting phrase.
I can understand a content warning; here be things that a reasonable person may find objectionable. But a trigger warning?
As someone who has PTSD, I don't even know all of my triggers so how can anyone else know what to warn for?

2/ On the call, he held up a document he said was proof that immigration authorities had agreed to deport him back home to Venezuela.
“I have a family,” he said, staring into the camera. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”
A month later, he was gone.

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared.
Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.
But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Was on the ferry today and I heard a couple tourists talking and wondering if the hills on Governors Island were burial mounds.
Kind of, but not really. They're only about a decade old and the only thing buried on those hills are buildings that once stood on the island.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Went to a live performance the other day. It is wild how many people don't know how to act on public.
A one man show is not interactive. You as the audience member are asked to react, but your comments and input are not needed.
Never aspire to be the heckler that has to be shut down.

I have always been confused by the discourse regarding age difference (especially in fandom) in any adult couple. As long as both parties are 20+, what on earth does it matter if there is an age gap? They will work it out for themselves if that makes them incompatible.
