Chicago pope sings

Brandy you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life my love and my lady
Is the See

People react to him like if a golden retriever was also a cinnamon roll

A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

May the next chapter of our nation's history be all about repair and transformation

speedily and in our days

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

The teachers told the children that this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob and kill them.

Actually, the sea pirates who had the most to do with the creation of the new government owned human slaves. They used human beings for machinery, and, even after slavery was eliminated, because it was so embarrassing, they and their descendants continued to think of ordinary human beings as machines. • The sea pirates were white. The people who were already on the continent when the pirates arrived were copper-colored. When slavery was introduced onto the continent, the slaves were black. Color was everything.

tonster. Here was the core of the bad ideas which Trout gave to Dwayne: Everybody on Earth was a robot, with one exception-Dwayne Hoover. Of all the creatures in the Universe, only Dwayne was thinking and feeling and worrying and planning and so on. Nobody else knew what pain was. Nobody else had any choices to make. Everybody else was a fully automatic machine, whose purpose was to stimulate Dwayne. Dwayne was a new type of creature being tested by the Creator of the Universe.

Only Dwayne Hoover had free will. Trout did not expect to be believed. He put the bad ideas into a science-fiction novel, and that was where Dwayne found them. The book wasn't addressed to Dwayne alone. Trout had never heard of Dwayne when he wrote it. It was addressed to anybody who happened to open it up. It said to simply anybody, in effect, "Hey-guess what: You're the only creature with free will. How does that make you feel?" And so on. It was a tour de force. It was a jeu d'esprit. But it was mind poison to Dwayne.

I have somehow never read Breakfast of Champions and holy hell in three pages Vonnegut sums it all up - colonialism, racism, income inequality, and a guy who owns a car dealership who reads a scifi novel and takes away the wrong idea

Just on a personal note, reporting this story broke my heart. Of all the unfathomable things Trump has done this year, putting SNAP recipients through this psychological hell tops the list. My endless gratitude to everyone who spoke to me. To all who who are suffering: I'm so sorry.

Sussex County isn’t even really NJ’s ‘suburbs’: it’s pretty rural (and a lot whiter and poorer than the counties south and east).

A Dem swing there is maybe EXTRA-surprising: Sussex has been classic Fox-News/MAGA territory for many years.

THE PROPHESY HAS BEEN FULFILLED

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

We've got you 👍

When I got out of college, I rented a room in my buddy’s double-wide. He was a firefighter. I was a firefighter. I made $26,000 that year and had 0 kids. He had 3 kids, 2 jobs, rented out a room - and still needed food stamps to make ends meet and put good food on the table for the kids.

The students of Saint Joseph Catholic school in Hanover apologized, saying they didn‘t realize the significance of the float and that it won’t be used again in part because they now understand it is inappropriate and in part because it is running third for the Democratic Senate nomination in Maine

Timeline cleanse: I present a series of photos of irritated animals

i think crocs and doc marten should collab and put out a limited edition croc marten but what do i know about capitalism.

I'm covered in paint from making a haunted castle set for a disabled goat's halloween pen and I'm just really content that this is where my life has ended up.

I wish I could tell you
everything will be OK,
that the world isn’t on fire,
that love can fix
all the broken things—
but only one
of those things is true,
only love
(fierce and soft
& full of fury)
can salve,
can salvage,
can mourn,
can bear witness—
here, we hold each other,
how we get through.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

Did you just read about how traditional Medicare is about to require prior approval - and they’re going to hire **AI companies** to dole out those approvals?

Then you need to learn about Dr. Gary Bent.

Good example, I’m sure, of how to many conservatives “freedom of speech” really means “obligation to listen.”

So they see no fault in themselves from driving family members away. “I’m just taking … abt how your friends should be exterminated.”
