Neat! Did you plan it out or just go off vibes for the triangle placements? It looks like you put them in the same strips as the kelp and switched back to the background? Not HSTs?

I asked a family friend who’s special interest is aviation this week and he said it’s still totally safe to fly. but tbh, seeing this hours before I’m due to fly across the country has me a little anxious.

Start up green tractor, we need you! Cling! Clang! Sprong! Loader bucket’s on!

Sorry/not sorry, my 2yo really imprinted heavily on that one and although it’s not a daily read these days it’s sadly deeply etched into my brain.

No joke, a fancy bidet was one of our pre tariff purchases.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

The TLDR is that the sect behind that temple has a very strong tie with a far right nationalist organization (RSS) which pretty much created the BJP which is the Hindu nationalist party of the current PM. It’s not a direct link but it’s an extremely close connection.

Looking at the Kennedys, it's amazing that America found a way to have a crazy aristocratic family, of a type that usually takes several hundred years of inbreeding to get that way, in under half a century. That's American ingenuity and efficiency right there.

Wow, yikes! How upsetting and frustrating for your mom. Not the least because she can’t have a frank conversation with his mom about his wild behavior.

My (international) in laws have current & valid tourist visas and we have a trip for them planned this summer and I’m starting to seriously think we should cancel it.

There are lots of small fabric stores around- many online! But yes, waaaay fewer than in years past. But more to the point, there is very little fabric totally produced in the USA these days!

A shorter version of my thread: for chrissakes can we pay attention to what fascism does instead of what it says? No, Trump isn’t trying stupidly and failing to revive U.S. industry. He’s trying quite effectively to burn it down so he can rule the ashes. Seriously. That’s the plan.

So far I’ve managed to limit myself to Kirkland maple syrup. But it’s hard not to think about what else makes sense.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

A lot of "post-left" personalities like Brand claim they were pushed away from the left but were in fact drawn to the right as a means of escaping accountability for their own actions

Oh my god, the face I’m making. These are the (type of) folks who give up container gardening because regular watering two tomato plants is too burdensome. 🫠
