That also tells me there's not much else worth talking about in this game if they're going on about the jerseys 🤣

They have rewarded my interest by immediately shitting the bed against the Avalanche. Hockey's back, baby!

Thank you to the Los Angeles Kings for introducing a third jersey that I like when I do in fact have a bit of disposable income but also before I get gulag'd for, like, wanting to vote or something

I took the job during early pandemic days when it was 100% remote and was like, well that commute is a problem for future me

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

If folks thought coming down from that Naval base was annoying I can't wait until they experience 55. (My last job involved commuting regularly from the north side to Lemont and I would also have given up if I wouldn't have gotten fired 🤣)

They tried to kill this woman because she annoyed them and they are charging because she lived. Her being alive is an assault on them.

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

Vampire is available to adopt in LA or Orange County!

2 weeks ago I found a small kitten trapped in the middle of a busy intersection. Now she's 6 weeks and ready to find her forever home.

Adoption application available on VIDA. Dm if you have questions about her! www.petfinder.com/cat/vampire-...

There seem to be two primary audience reactions to The History of Sound and both were on display at the showing I was at today. Man in front of me fell asleep and snored through most of it; woman near me burst into prolonged ugly sobbing as soon as the credits started to roll.

An old train from the 1920s or so runs along the elevated track in downtown Chicago. The train is brown -ish yellow-ish and very old timey.

A thing I think it’s important for USians not in currently-occupied cities to grasp is that the normal and everyday goes on alongside the violent and unprecedented.

In Chicago right now you can be forced off teargas-soaked streets in the morning and have a peaceful evening picnic on the lake.

Judge IMMERGUT, a Trump appointee to the bench, ruled that Trump's call-up was based on false claims about unrest in Portland and that Trump's own statements were "simply untethered to the facts." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
