Aholes in training? No, they've graduated. While going in to pick up food orders, these fine young white people leave their cars running. Apparently people remaining in the cars are afraid of dying while sitting in the shade on this sweltering 74-degree evening.

Very grateful that, in my current everyday existence, I no longer have to listen to people I know saying stupid things like, "You have to be politically correct now."
It's not being pc; it's called 'not being an asshole.'

I'd like to offer this as evidence that we don't need vaccines and add to it my own treatment that will surely protect you and your family from measles, rubella, flu, cancer, scoliosis, and from being hit by cars when suddenly running out in the street to retrieve your toys (I prefer allowing

Marsha P. Johnson spent her life advocating for LGBTQ people of color, LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness, and people living with HIV and AIDS. She was a trailblazer for the trans community and an icon to all.
Thank you, Marsha.

Some dumb f*ck reported my post about trans citizens getting docs confiscated. I blocked her, but realize I'd much rather have had some direct consequence rained down on her. I'm trying very hard to square-breathe my way out of hating her. No one like that has a right to be in my brain.

Per trans friend who relocated to EU:
"I’m seeing second hand information reporting confiscation of trans people’s passports by U.S. issuing authorities. If you are trans and are in possession of a US passport or visa documents, do not under any circumstances attempt to renew or replace it.

Those "activists" sure looked scary. Just like all those scary residents they arrested. Whew! DT saves us again!
Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Think of the landlords.
A gift to Hedge Fund and corporate landlords. Iowa has just theoretically made tenancy "at will."
Landlords are no longer required to give a 30-day eviction notice.
It's now just 72 hours.
The inequality gap widens.

I'm taking comfort in the inanities my brain randomly kicks out for me. The Smiths's "Panic" on replay. Ways to combat diabolical starlings at my peanut feeder. Inserting shithead into THE DEATH OF STALIN. Fun stuff like that.
