Breaking my social media fast to tell you that the Oregon Humane Society has slashed adoption fees 50% this weekend to offset an intake surge in the aftermath of an animal hoarding raid. Go adopt a new bestie like Miles (link below).

Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social · 4d

Did I ever tell you guys about the time
I spent hours trying to convince someone in a Facebook group that they didn't play a fake N64 as a child 20 years ago?

AI Chat + Google led them to believe they played Speed Punks 64, a game that only exists on Wiki Fandom. The real game is PSX only.

The original Facebook post that says:
Hey guys I need some help I'm searching for this game I used to play as a kid it is a racing game similar tomorrow card you'd pick a character on the map there was a snow ice map one of the characters was a small girl with blonde I think ponytails you could shoot or leave protectiles please help

Hey it later response to the person's original post says"I figured it out guys it was speed punk's 64 but I can't find the game anywhere"

A Reddit post showing the box art for speed punk 64 with the artist replying to the image "I made that pic and put it on DeviantArt years ago and no there is no actual speed punk 64 game in real life I made it up"

I'll look at the wiki fandom page for speed punk 64 which makes it seem like it's a real game

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

U.S. Northern Command says that elements of the Texas national guard are now “employed in the greater Chicago area.”

The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

Russ Vought is like the creep boss when you were a teen working at a restaurant or ice cream stand who steals your tips and wages.

He deleted the law from the OMB website saying federal employees are entitled to back pay after govt shutdowns.

Obviously, the law still exists and is enforceable.

OMB quietly removed language from its #shutdown guidance that referenced the 2019 law guaranteeing retroactive pay to furloughed federal employees. buff.ly/P0AsxeZ

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance

An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

I don't seriouspost that much anymore, mostly because I'm tired and more cynical about the efficacy of the effort, but I'll give it a try for old time's sake.

It has been de rigueur for many professional posters to insist on participating in American democratic processes as a remedy for discontent.

Sellers too, not just carriers. In Australia we’re forced through Australia Post to sign up with a third party app Zonos to handle tariffs in advance, you’ll never guess who owns Zonos: one of Trump’s mates. It’s a rort all the way through, for you and everyone else.

this is like half of r/ups now

Hi Andrew,

You have a new invoice for $63,755.71

Tariff Fee on T Shirt

Total Due: $83.27

Government Charges: $59.27
Brokerage Charges: $24.00

How to go about disputing an incorrect tariff charge?

Total Due: $82.92

Government Charges: $68.92
UPS Brokerage fees: $14.00

I’ve received 15 different duties and tariff charges for items I didn’t order.
Customer Seeking Help
The title is the crux of the issue. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve received numerous brown envelopes all charging me for duty and tariff fees associated with items that I never ordered.

The seller is somebody I’ve bought from before, but the last time I purchased from them was several months ago and my name is on the sold to slot. The “shipped to” person is someone I don’t know and the address and tracking address are both unrelated to me.

I’ve sent emails to an address given to my by the one time I was able to get through the phone number listed on the paper bill. They said the invoices will be removed in 4-6 weeks but now I’ve started receiving late fee bills on top. I’ve tried to call in again once a day, but I either get hung up on or my call drops once the wait lasts over an hour.

Any advice? I just don’t want this to go to collections or affect my credit for something I didn’t order or have any relation to besides my name being on something it shouldn’t have.

Doesn't matter, they're giving Trump 2 weeks to extract as much pain as he can just doing things he wants illegally without anyone around to stop him.

How the hell is this shutdown our fault if Republicans can’t be bothered to show up

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13.

That would mean no votes until mid-month.
