Phoebe Biscuits, the kitten with the mittens, loves sock. She hides them. We've learned to hide them from her.

Seems to me that Bluesky is a social/news site, and less about selling things. Reddit has an active sub, r/mineralporn.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

He's only a hero because he is the lone Repub who find this a red line. Otherwise, he's just an average shitty GOPer.

A cartoon with two doors above the word CHOICES. On the left, a man goes through a door where the text above it reads "walk barefooted on bot coans and broken glass while carrying a leaky bucket of gasoline as west nile virus-infected mosquitos swarm your head." On the right, a closed door with the text above it reading "listen to the state of the union address."

Rep Tony Gonzales Faces Harassment Allegations Amid Political Turmoil Rep Tony Gonzales is embroiled in a scandal involving harassment allegations from a former staffer, Regina Santos-Aviles, leading to a political and ethical crisis.

Hey Texas, take a look at your incumbent Gonzales. He's a creep. I also find it suspicious that she "suicided" by burning. Forensics are tough on a burned body. Voters, you gotta know what to do...

Sounds great, but the IRS, if they weaponize it, can fine you for not withholding. They can require you to pay quarterly.

I don't want to give them my money interest free, but it is not wise to claim this is a great way to stick it to the Man.

JUST IN

Judge Cannon's ruling is "impossible to square with the First Amendment," the Knight First Amendment Institute reacts in a statement: β€œThere is no legitimate basis for its continued suppression."

The group has a pending appeal seeking to intervene and order the report's release.
