My mom couldn’t remember an attorney’s name from some years ago. So my dad went out to the garage for his cigar box, dug through it, and proudly read the guy’s name from a red pen.

I love when boomers say things like “we didn’t have autism or ADHD back in my day.”
Anyway, here’s my dad and his old cigar box filled with random pens he’s collected over the years. Some are as old as I am.

‘I’m Actually Surprised It Didn’t Happen Sooner’ CDC staffers saw the violence coming.

“I didn’t expect to face the same risks in Atlanta as in South Sudan.”

*We repeat: Friday’s CDC shooting wasn’t random. It’s the product of years of attacks on public health by Trump and our own boss, RFK Jr.*

they have already served their time. they have served 4 times longer than required by contract. IDGAF what’s in their pants or what’s on their documents or who they used to be. They have EARNED retirement benefits.

“And if they’re counting on the little state of Vermont to protect them from everything the federal government does, I don’t believe they’re being realistic.”
Yes, they are expecting you (an elected official) to protect them. GTFO

grief and sadness and loss have a funny way of showing you who your friends are (and aren’t)

I worked in digital advertising for years. They don’t care about your texts. They want to identify you, your location, and your habits, so they can sell your data to advertisers. Don’t even need your name. Everyone is a number in a system. Even your grocery rewards card is tied to data tracking 🤷‍♀️

This new WhatsApp marketing campaign is hilarious. It doesn’t matter if they can’t see your messages. They’re still part of Meta and are absolutely collecting and profiting off your data.
