Aside from the high seas murder spree, an order to court martial a sitting senator for 100% legal political speech, and to do so under blatant unlawful command influence, would probably be the clearest case yet of an order so manifestly unlawful there is a duty for anybody in uniform to refuse it.

Credit to @faineg.bsky.social for buying us tasting spoons. Incredibly useful especially when preparing a big meal. Sanitary as you have enough to use them only 1 time and you still have the good spoons for your meals.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

That moment when you drop a medication on a sketchy floor in a hotel and have to decide whether to take it or not. I usually blow on it real hard. Germs hate wind. True fact.

heads up, this WILL ALSO REMOVE the automatic sorting that Gmail does, so you will no longer have updates/promotions/forums tabs and instead have just one big inbox. Which is stupid
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

The Grand Banks of Newfoundland helped shape the history of Canada.
Many of Newfoundland's first communities were established thanks to the Grand Banks, where cod were said to be so plentiful they could be scooped up with a bucket.

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
