“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

To be fair, that also applies to what you're paroding so its really a bonus layer of satire.

Hey, sci-fi and fantasy folks, if you happen to know folks who are involved with various estates in the field, do tip them a hat about the Anthropic settlement. Agencies do not get $ out of the deal and may not remember to talk to estate clients. My agent was worrying about estates not being alerted

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Which is what Im going to declare a bogo.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

InfiniTokens are NOT on Amazon, so let folks interested (or people you ask for gifts) know that searching for "InfiniTokens" there will only get a lot of cheap imitators that are not the real, high quality ones. They mimic our product designs to fool people into thinking they are the original.

An Amazon advertisement that has dry erase cards with designs extremely similar to InfiniTokens dry erase cards with color borders.

I know theres gonna be a lot of well deserved flak for this, but dont forget this will also be used to deny autism diagnoses to anyone who wasn't born with a penis.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Don't forget, pathetically laughable they may be, but every single one of them would cut your cancer treatment or nan's disability payment without even flinching. They're dangers to society, every single one of them.
