Anyone else count down when someone says, "I'll be there in ten seconds." No? Just me. Ok.

Can you explain, in small words, why we're not seeing more of the President's people jailed and barred from their jobs from drug use?

And because this is the internet: I am not passing judgment on drug use. I am, however, judging the flaunting of the law and the terms of their work contracts.

I feel bad for the poor browbeaten designer who was forced to cough this monstrosity up after millions of iterations. I do not feel bad for the team that then had to build the brand guide, "don't block the blob, don't mush the blob, use Gotham, and done!"

You can add the Queer Liberation Library to your Libby app. It was super easy 10/10, highly recommend! @queerliblib.bsky.social

He doesn't care about the rule of law. He wants to be a criminal and flaunt it.

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

Nothing is further from the truth. You are a retired side show producer in a trench coat and top hat who just tries to get his loveable but scrappy crew of misfits on stage every day.

Seattle peeps. Heads up:

ICE is currently on 3rd and University going through restaurants.

If you have folks you know who could potentially face deportation, let them know.

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, theyโ€™re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

Don't forget it's mostly targeted toward women to take advantage of our culturally inflicted role/trap. If you jade egg your cooter, it'll make sure you don't have to worry while your working full time, keeping the house, or managing the kids.

If the news was no longer dependent on external revenue, it would be more effective. Now, where you find the magic wand could make that work is beyond my ken.
