Jalen Hurts is not an elite quarterback
You've been kidnapped Your kidnappers allow you keep posting on social media to pretend everything is alright. What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?

3 of 20 There are three branches of government. Why? • To cut down on bureaucracy • So one part does not become too powerful • To make government decisions faster and more efficiently • To give the president control over all government decisions

I just canceled my Hulu/Disney+/ESPN sub and they did not allow me to choose "other" and fill in the reason why
Screenshot of webpage. We don't want to see you go. But if you must, can you tell us the main reason why? - I'm using other services - It's temporary, I'll be back - I don't like ads - Payment or other account issues - Cost is too expensive - Due to personal reasons (life change) - Technical issues (buffering, devices, features) - Content availability (shows, moves or sports not available) [this has been selected]

After 12 hours together over two days, I've mostly given up taking notes while we ride to the AFL-CIO event in Brewer; I've too much material already. We start talking about science fiction again and Platner takes it upon himself to preach the gospel of Andor to the young comms guy who's been babysitting me, the only person in the car who isn't already a believer. Platner calls it one of the best television shows ever, alongside Battlestar Galactica and The Wire. "Somehow," he says, "they convinced Disney to do an entire show about the realities of violent resistance." Platner's friend Chris, who served with him in Iraq, is driving and nods vigorously. "It's not pretty. You might fight beside bad people. You need them." I've written before that the left's embrace of Andor is part of a recognition that things might get quite bad, that people are bracing themselves for violence somewhere over the horizon. I share my theory: "I think people are really preparing for Andor." They both chuckle. Almost in unison, they say: "People aren't ready." "Take it from an infantryman." Platner adds, "You're never ready. People think they are, but they're not." He turns around in the front seat and stabs a thick finger at the notebook that I had set aside. "Write this down," he says. "No matter which way it goes -taking the Senate or the fall of democracy-whatever the eventuality, the work remains the same." "You have to build things for people to access. You have to build the apparatus for change, even if no one else shows up. If you don't build the movement, it won't be there when the day for action comes. It's thankless. People live their entire lives building something they may never see succeed. And you do it anyway."

No cheating, post your lock screen
Screenshot of an iphone lock screen. The wallpaper is a photo of post-Super Bowl Jalen Hurts standing on the field with a euphoric expression looking up into the air full of green confetti while photojournalists take his picture. It is Saturday, July 26 at 1:08 pm (in green letters naturally). I have 77% battery life because your girl keeps her phone charged.

Hey maybe let's not say things that make it sound like disabled people are a punishment that happens to someone else.

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!

It's unclear how State Police, who have a 24/7 detail assigned to Shapiro and additional security at the governor's residence, allowed Balmer to enter the property, start a fire, then break into the building and start two more fires before fleeing on foot without apprehension.

Wow thanks Poshmark. You've really got my style down.
Screenshot from Poshmark. On top it says "just picked for you" (I highlighted "for you"). Underneath is a listing for a t-shirt described as "unisex patriotic veteran t-s...". The shirt is black with an overly busy American flag design with that ridiculous snake from the Gadsden flag. The text says "I am politically incorrect, I say merry Christmas, God bless America, I own guns, eat bacon". There's more below but I can't make it out and I'm sure it's equally horrible.

I impulse thrifted this purse last night because it's in ace colors and now that it's morning I'm honestly still really excited about it

Columbia University. Student Activist Detained by Department of Homeland Security. Following Threats of Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Students The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State's announcement that it plans to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine protests. The student, who is Palestinian, is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. NEW YORK, NEW YORK-On March 8, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and recent graduate student at Columbia University, at his place of residence, an apartment building owned by the university. The DHS agents said that the U.S. Department of State had revoked Khalil's green card. At approximately 8:30 p.m. ET, Khalil and his wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, had just unlocked the door to their building when two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them. The agents initially refused to identify themselves, instead asking Khalil to confirm his identity before detaining him without explanation. The agents proceeded to threaten his wife, telling her that if she remained by his side, they would arrest her too. Later, the DHS agents stated that the U.S. Department of State had revoked Khalil's student visa, despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident. An agent showed Khalil what he claimed was a warrant on his phone. Khalil's wife went into their apartment to retrieve his green card while the agents remained with Khalil downstairs. When she returned, advising them of Khalil's legal status and presenting them with Khalil's green card, one agent was visibly confused and said on the phone, "He has a green card." However, after a moment, the DHS agents stated that the State Department had "revoked that too." Khalil's wife then phoned his attorney, who spoke with the agents in an attempt to intervene. When Khalil's attorney requested that a copy of the warrant be emailed to her, the agent hung up the call.

Good thread. Also gives me an excuse to post this photo I took when I visited the Providence Athenæum, so I can look at it and remember when I was young.
