As it gets colder, please remember to NEVERRR plug a space heater into a power strip, which are not designed to handle the high current flow and can overheat or even catch fire! Directly into the wall outlet ONLY!

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Hello! I know a lot of my followers are from the west and I would like to ask that if you have money to spare, please commission some Filipino artists right now that are doing commissions for a cause to help fund the repairs from the recent (and upcoming) super typhoons.

Links to them in replies!

Sometime late in the Bush administration we as a country stopped illuminating rooms with a floodlight placed directly behind a slowly rotating industrial fan and our nation has been floundering ever since.
One of the absolute dogdick shittiest things to be nostalgic for is how I miss big warehouse sets with a fuckin' huge flood light blasting on the windows

Good! We invented civilization because being outside by necessity and not choice sucks! We are all engaged in a war against being forced to touch grass and we’ve spent the last 300 years winning decisively.

I’d love to believe that this will bring down all the guilty parties, especially Trump. But I think what we’ll see now is a comically obvious and relentless series of moves to keep Trump’s name out of everything.

And while that shouldn’t work… man, it has before. Stupid dumb country! We’ll see.

You have to understand that this is why i can’t let go of beloved pop culture types being neck deep in child abuse stuff. This is why I‘m still yelling at you about the One Piece guy. This is why I‘ve renounced multiple touchstones of my childhood over this stuff. These are the people that prop up-

It’s so fun being a part of the elite professional anti-child sexual abuse club because I get to do all this work in prevention and investigation and get people taken down on the regular, and then I go home and the pedophile president calls me a nasty woman or some shit and gets to keep breathing.

You can just tell him no! Practically everybody hates him!
an important message to elite society in general:

this is an unpopular, weak and failing lame duck president and you can just tell him no
can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1

couldn't have gone worse if they tried

Don’t fucking count on my Triangle to take this lying down.
Although Durham officials were not informed of any planned CBP activity, individuals have reported seeing agents in the city, and Nida Allam, who chairs the Durham County Board of Commissioners, said she witnessed three people taken into custody in a Durham shopping center on Avondale Drive.
Federal Agents Are Coming to the Triangle. Here’s What We Know.
Officials say Customs and Border Protection agents are in Raleigh today, and immigrant advocacy groups say they may appear in surrounding areas.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.
