talking about the weather is generally the lowest form of discourse but i can’t hold it in anymore: this weather is bullshit

Dalmatian that sits on your shoulder? Weird cat.

Digging a hole at the high tide line so it fills with water? That's fighting God, baby.

Patio could be side, never front. Porch is elevated, front probably, side maybe (only if wrap around?) Back + elevated = deck.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Bruuuuuuuuuuce

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

message box with the text: "I'm disappointed in your trans exclusionary membership policy. Masters swimming is for everyone. I'm a cis woman, and if a trans woman shares a lane with me or competes against me, good luck. May the best woman win. I'm putting off renewing my membership for now because of this."

Went to renew my US Masters Swimming membership for the year, and was greeted with their new trans-exclusionary policy. Didn't renew my membership. Sent them a message about why.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Read reviews of "Love Lettering" for spice level, I remember it being p mild, but it's been a minute.

the new Virginia governor is from New Jersey, and the new New Jersey governor is from Virginia, and I just think that's neat

I have a line in my syllabus to not use ChatGPT to email me. It's not cheating, it's just annoying and imo disrespectful.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

TRUTH BOMB 💣 this guy is a Pedophile. I also made him President

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

tweet: Kevin Box @Fuel_YourGrowth No one could communicate like Steve Jobs. His email to Bruce Chizen, the CEO of Adobe was a masterclass in communication. Study it to learn to communicate like a boss.

Infographic breaking out various virtues of an email from Jobs to Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen, in which he either reminds Chizen of their illegal agreement not to poach each other's employees, or proposes such an agreement. (Without context, it's not completely clear which Jobs is doing, which is probably on purpose -- Jobs knows it would be illegal to have an explicit agreement like this. Good communication, Steve!)

Reply thread full of people enthusiastically praising Jobs's communication skills and the original poster responding in kind. No hint that anyone is aware of the issue that the message is probably illegal and that's why we know about it. My reply appears at the top: "ok who here is in on the joke though?"

Moderately popular Twitter post showcasing Steve Jobs's communication skills. The exhibit is a probably-illegal email from the lawsuit about high-tech firms colluding to depress wages. All the replies are completely straight, like, "Masterclass!" Is it a joke? Is anyone in on the joke?

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

So good. 🤡
