Topic: Name a looney tunes cartoon you remember?
-
I get that kids don't really watch looney tunes anymore as syndicated cartoons just don't really exist and watching looney tunes is weirdly tricky to find. But it's a show that's baked into your brains. So reminisce with me.
Syngenta just announced it's gonna stop producing paraquat, which I thought was a throwback to '70s Mexican weed before learning that US growers still use it. Syngenta, btw, was the subject of a wild story with one of my favorite headlines. See addendum to this post.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.
She lied.
One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.
This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
💥BREAKING💥St. Louis service workers won’t let the bosses drown out our voices 🗣️
#MOworkers, @sbworkersunited.org members, and community allies are gathering for the Food Service Workers’ Town Hall because we’re serious about demanding a real voice on the job — and across the whole industry!
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
i love science

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
No worries!
Childhood flashback now gone.
I find myself taking screen captures and blowing them up to read teeny things so I feel you!
Another Minnesota resident killed thanks to the Regime.

Those of us who want to help are in the same boat.
Empty pockets and full hearts 🥺
Sounds expensive. Guess y'all better get another job so you can pay more taxes.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.
Weird.
If you are prone to middle of the night anxiety this article offers some very good approaches to dealing with it. Personally, I will get out of bed and move into my living room where I do mundane tasks such as those suggested. Good luck with this.

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
More people should really stop and take notice when the supposed opposition party is calling a war illegal and unconstitutional, but will not suggest consequences of any kind for starting it.
They're also subtly de-escalating the severity by pretending this was solely an issue of permission.
*now*!!! 🙄

In the 1930s, Harry Chandler's LA Times ran regular columns on eugenics. The Human Betterment Foundation (backed by Chandler) included PSAs like this one. By showing a clipped vine from infecting a tree, it endorsed forced vasectomies to stop impure bloodlines from undesirables.

The Bears have enough grocery money of their own.
This constant raiding of the public purse for rich sports teams and their greedy owners is pathetic.
“But we can’t afford hospitals!”
Police fielded 50,000 calls during the surge, canceled over 1,000 days off and extended 500 shifts. The department says that more than $5 million was spent on policing between Jan. 7 and Feb. 1.

Losing a parent stays with us forever.
When done assisting a customer I went in the back room and sobbed for my dad who had been gone for 20+ years.
The man *smelled* like dad. Right Guard and Brylcream. If he used Old Spice they would have had to send me home.
Empathy and love for you!
Yup trump is the biggest fool and embarrassment this country has ever seen. The 34 count felon and people elected that!

My heart is breaking.
They could not handle you so they cheated to evict you. We all saw it. We are all fucking angry.
Please don’t be discouraged!
We know whatever path you choose right now will be the best for you. I just hope that path keeps you in the fight.
With great respect ❤️
Terrifying

Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.
I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?
