‘Six-seven’: what does the latest slang mean (and should parents be worried)? It originated in a rap song, then featured in South Park, and is now the bane of schoolteachers in the US and UK as pupils shout it out at random. How did it become such a thing?

I have come to the decision that the 6-7 trend is just a mass trolling of the Olds and doesn’t have any actual point or meaning other then to drive the non-youth bananas. I am serious. Not joking. They are playing us and it’s actually pretty funny.

It's criminal that you can get a large tax break for being an EV, but not for opting out of buying a car entirely.

On the one hand, *God* he looks frail, but on the other, so glad he's still able to do stuff like this at all.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Who needs a feel good story for today?

We adopted Bean from a local animal shelter. Her mom had been picked up off the street in LA very pregnant and fostered by a local woman with a boarding kennel.

Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

Phonics was boring and annoying to me, because I knew how to read already.

I had an impromptu mending party this afternoon!

That watch is carrying a lot of weight (money? Cost?).

I'm going to actively say at this point that I don't think people should donate to any Dem-run PACs. What guarantee do we have that they won't give the money to cowards to stave off primary challengers?

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
