Youβre welcome!

Iβm reading reports this morning of a girls elementary school being hit in Iran with 40 dead. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social, as a teacher myself, I am horrified that we would support these actions. Are there no other ways to solve conflicts other than killing innocent people?

When you're the President, they let you do it. In a rare example of the American government still kind of functioning, the Supreme Court has finally declared-after waiting a year for no reason-that Donald Trump's obviously illegal tariffs are obviously illegal. But it's too late for you. You already overpaid for everything, because America's big retailers passed over 90% of their tariff costs onto you, their customers, by marking everything up. So if you bought Cards Against Humanity stuff from them over the last year, you likely got fucked. Now, Corporate America's preeminent dipshits and douchebags are all lining up to get their tariff refunds from the government. Something like $200 billion in total. And let's be real: they're keeping that money for themselves. But not Cards Against Humanity. We're going to give you your fucking money back. If you overpaid for one of our games, click the button below and fill out the form. Then, when the Trump Administration gives us our tariff refund, we won't keep it: we'll give 100% of the money back to you, our loyal customers, who actually make our business possible. Love, Cards Against Humanity Get Your Fucking Money Back

I'm not a big Shailene Woodley fan but she was great in episode 1. Very suspenseful. Very interesting!
