MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Changed from a nonstop to a connecting flight when I volunteered my seat for $900, but it is the same plane for both legs now.

Reskeet with a frog to scare ICE

A sticker design from my podcast, Hate Watch/Great Watch. It is black with the image of a frog in white and text reading "HWGW podcast" and "Justice for Frogs". It's a reference to the MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS MOVIE from 1995

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

And officially needed, so I get a $900 voucher to arrive 8 hours later.

When the flight is scheduled to arrive hours before you can reasonably expect to check into the hotel, volunteering to accommodate in an oversold situation is just good business since they are promising arrival today.

The timing on the first airing was absurd. And those that know Vegas know how old the stock footage used is (Tropicana was imploded a year ago), though still an improvement from ESPN using footage including the Monte Carlo for a game in Vegas.

Nike couldn’t let the game even end before running this commercial 😂 #WNBA

Raiders should be forced to attend the Aces parade and celebration.

There is enough baseball this week, when you could watch the capstone for one of the most amazing seasons in basketball. And the WNBA fans in Phoenix making a point to cheer the Aces to emphasize how much they hate the Commissioner.

It is not dumb if your goal is to try and make the place miserable to all but the most devout of MAGA.

Ok, so I guess I should report to breakfast at 5am before my 8am flight.

It is the model if you want to force people out to be replaced by Nazi hacks.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

You know you have a weird social media circle when you have a blood relative of a championship #NASCAR driver tagging your friends from the gay bar scene to vote for most popular driver award.
