I can't respect people who use the word "woke" as an insult.

They're announcing their willful or unintentional ignorance.

You mean we otter watch it.

And if you haven't taken a tour of the Mission Inn there, what are you waiting for? Truly a CA gem!

Is It Ethical to Buy Used Books and Music?

Used books are a low-cost way to see if you like what an author has to offer. If you do find you like them, then you can buy their next book new, possibly from the same bookseller. They're also a way to get books no longer in print.

MONTHS. A few more MONTHS at this rate.

You do you. But tons of us won't normalize their behavior. They voted for a dictator. We won't get our democracy back because of their selfishness.

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

I love this.

The Republican way, about everything.

This is a real team effort, fellow patriots. 🇺🇸

I realize some folks have almost nowhere to shop, thanks to the Waltons. Not judging.

Time for another revolution.

You're doing great! Hang in there!

The country was founded by Puritans, who got kicked out of all the decent countries. Not surprising with our history.

The voter db in Wisconsin was breached. NordVPN let me know my info was found there from that source. I have no confidence my vote wasn't flipped.

Trump selected Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, to be Commerce Secretary. Here's the one thing you should know about Howard Lutnick: When 658 of his employees were killed on 9/11, his first act was to have them removed from the payroll. He fired them.

A hateful frigging moron. With the mentality of a 5-year old.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.

So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Stop shopping at Wal-Mart if you can possibly manage it!

This is grim.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Two words. Bookstore. Cat. Trust me on this.

You can make friends who can re-post though. 😉 "Help a bookstore pay their electric bill. Buy a book!"

Y'all the plasterers finally finished my house today (until a little right before my new kitchen goes in), & after priming & painting, i can FINALLY start fully moving into my bedroom at last!

We tried that. You decided fanboying for 45 was more important. Your 15 minutes are long long past, pathetic shitweasel.

And in my case, a bra. 😜
