That is *exactly* how I read it: they have monkeys driving trucks now? I mean, I know driverless trucks are a thing...Had to read it out loud a couple of times before it (kind of) made sense.

I'm wondering if life is a crazy quilt for these people--I mean, do they order all these samples simply to make "free" quilts with them, or to lower the overall costs of their quilts?
Quite curious what store this is

Damn right it does! Surely we all know, already, not to mess with anyone's back zipper

Had exactly the same thought

Exactly
Didn't see your comment til after posting my similar one

Oh, so now they're doing "Sophie's Choice." Can you imagine being this lawyer, put in this position? How about the banality of it all? Quiet voices, the little bit of laughter from the masked man as he explains "if you don't choose one, I'll take them all." Fuck these fucking fuckers. It's evil

This is your 8 year old? You done good!

Thank you!

1. Curly
2. Moe
3. Roger
4. Swirley

I love this so much!

This literally took my breath away--I fucking gasped!

Yes! Thought the same earlier today

A fluffy bagel? That is not correct, not even vaguely

Can never have too much cheese.

The fridge at work broke down.

Yes. Thank you

As well it should make you feel--the best ever. And I thank you for sharing this, because it reminds me that one person can do a lot; it gives me hope.

Pro Publica. They have a tool to help get your claim file that might be helpful. Denials, getting 3 different answers from 3 different people, waits on the phone, provider and insurer contradict each other--my sympathies to you for this particular hell projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

I was out in front of our NOAA campus today with approximately 1000 other people today protesting DOGE cuts; it was heartening. Hundreds of people protested at the Tesla dealership in the nearby town of Superior 2 days ago. Vermonters told Vance he wasn't welcome. Let's bring this energy to DC now!

It's 12:05 am Eastern. What's happening with this? And yes, thank you Doctors for America!

@statesnewsroom.com You've got a DC bureau. Please. Go!

My jaw, the floor, I mean my jaw did literally drop open. And thanks for the footnote. Go to indeed

JFC, Eric. Me too

But I like Lake Michigan... Is there a pond at a Superfund site that would do?

Ohhh, the back of the throat gurgle/laugh sound that was emitted by me upon reading these words. You have, indeed, nailed it--the only tip a writer ever needs.

Thanks for this! Please add Westword

Welcome, so glad to see you here!

*Damn* did you make biscuits, Ma'am. Those are beautiful!

My thoughts exactly! What is this "to libe" thing?
