It's not branded as such, but I think of that spray paint color as "Barbie Pink." (My costume has nothing to do with Barbie.)

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Trump is the abusive spouse. Here's what he'll do: Hold back SNAP payments, food assistance, so 4 million people, families, children, the elderly & disabled, vets & military, will go hungry. Then he'll swoop in and restore it as if HE PERSONALLY is giving them food, feeding them himself like a god.

I keep hearing that! Is there av wrinkle in the space-time continuum? Are time travelers from the future desperately trying to communicate with us through the medium of baseball?

Geez, a lot of my favorite songs would make terrible walk-on themes. Maybe "The Wake of the Medusa" by The Pogues. Though "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" sums up my life better....

I don't think I've ever exceeded 2 NPCs in conversation at a time, but I've definitely come close, then realized the madness I was setting myself up for and got 1 or more NPCs to leave the room or get very shy. Max total in a scene? Maybe 5? ๐Ÿ˜œ

hey yโ€™all. where i am, the food bank hasnโ€™t been able to afford to purchase meat for people in a minute- only shelf stable canned goods.

A shocking (to me anyway) amount of resistance is just constantly reminding the other guys that they are the baddies. Ghouls like Miller love it, but a lot more of them really don't

Thanks! It's a long workday for me, but the last few hours of it will be working the door at a Halloween drag event, so that'll be fun!

Because of the GOP shutdown, SNAP benefits wonโ€™t pay out in November, leaving many TN families without food assistance.
Democrats are stepping up to fill the gap. Drop off non-perishable items for donation to Second Harvest at our HQ: 523 W. Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Suite 14 Maryville. #snapbenefits

You know that May 4 is Star Wars Day.
You've seen that March 14 is Pi Day.

Remember in 2015 when the Obama administration shown rainbow lights on the White House to celebrate the Obergefell decision, and a bunch of period lost their minds because that's "our" (the people's) house. Whose House is it now?

My youthful follies involved things like wearing red eyeliner and mixing Everclear with Hawaiian Punch. Not, say, getting Nazi tattoos.

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Millions across all 50 US states march in No Kings protests against Trump Crowds of Americans, many in costumes, aligned behind message that US is sliding into authoritarianism

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.
