I don't use any Apple products, so I never had to stop liking U2 #vindicated

ScaryKateDoubleBOOOOO @sarakatew.bsky.social · 12h

I know we all have to hate U2 because one time they gave us a free album eleven years ago, but since I woke up I’ve listened to The Joshua Tree in its entirety and that album is, forgive me, good as hell. Sorry if this offends.

"HO, SHUT THE FUCK UP"

CNBC @cnbc.com · 11d

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
