You want to know what its like to live through this? Every day is a week long. Whatever motivations you had about work, about art, about love feel meaningless. The grief is overwhelming. #usa

Shame they can't seem to hire a decent PR company.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

It was fine? But then I'm a Gareth Edwards fan. And the casting decisions were at least interesting......

Thankfully it didn't matter.

I like both the original and the bastardised Anglo version.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Inside Safe has broken away from the old failed ways of letting people die on the streets.

Homelessness has declined two years in a row for the first time. We're saving lives and restoring neighborhoods.

My generation created a NZ that gives no hope to its young people (our own children!) and deters immigrants with very high COL/low opportunity all in the name of artificially high house prices and not taxing the rich properly. Well done all! PS: John Key can burn in hell.

Here's the thing; the next gen of sales people will operate like this....and the customer will do the same in return. AI negotiating with itself via human avatars.

Scum.

He argued in favor of slavery before the Vatican and the Spanish court. Why? He wanted to enslave people to sell them, use their labor and pay off his debts to Isabela. Columbus is the seed of labor laws that define people as capital. (Resendez, Andre)

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all
