What's the line from that movie? You send 1,650 of ours to ICE detention, we send 3,300 of yours something something...?
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Unpopular opinion: scheduling meetings and trainings during lunch hour is taking away lunch hour.

I'm ready to send all the politicians home and replace them with single parent FGLI college students. That's probably the only way shit will get done.

Do we think I can just throw a blazer over this and call it good?

Food service/hospitality workers were forged in the fires of hell.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Appropriate that we are about to be under a gale warning, but I'm in the wrong part of the country.

The wind chill is 29 in NY. Will I need to turn on the heat tonight?

I want to re-up this because I just learned:

1. Someone broke into her mom's house last night and stole things (!!!)
2. She's getting no help with anything.
3. Her modest goal isn't going to cover a damn thing and I hope she far exceeds it.

Please share ❤️
I know things are tough for everyone right now, but my roommate's coworker's mom just died very suddenly and she can't afford funeral expenses. If you've got a couple bucks, think about throwing it her way.

I shouldn't have to run to my email every day for an update on the SNAP situation, my clients should just be fucking fed.

A good bartender will typically give you a free drink if they've had to witness the light leave your eyes in real time.

In the inverse, they'll give you, like, four.

I don't believe in kink shaming.

But.

I am somewhat of an opportunist and always ready to take one for the team. Cuomo should just pay me a a couple million to use him as a foot stool and leave the people alone.

I wonder how much the numbers would drop if we had healthcare in this country.
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

My afternoon routine has evolved into walking home, fixing a cup of tea, and sitting on the daybed in my office watching the sun set behind the old warehouse buildings. I hope to make an addition or two to this eventually, but for now, I think it's keeping me from strangling someone.

None of these agents are persons of reasonable sensibility.
Jury has its instructions. MUST find Sandwich Guy acted forcibly, which “can” be shown thru attempt/threat to inflict bodily harm. Assault is any attempt/threat to inflict “any physical injury, however small, including touching offensive to a person of reasonable sensibility.”

This was the moment that did it for me. I'm a sucker for a dude who yells at cops and nazis.

So all the billionaires and a decent chunk of the NYPD are going to be out by morning, right? RIGHT?
