Found a mushroom in the park and I’m not sure if it’s the edible, psychedelic, or deadly type.

Peacemaker kinda started strong and then fizzled out. Felt like the whole season could have been a two-hour movie.

I don’t know, I think it’s a pretty low bar that the potential “Joe Rogan of the left” not be a misogynistic antisemitic animal abuser.

“Trump tells sailors not to ‘worry about’ paychecks as shutdown continues”

There isn’t a failsafe for military pay this time

1 in 3 “military families has less than $3,000 in savings,
[and]… nearly 1 in 4 service members has trouble putting food on the table.”

Trump tells sailors not to ‘worry about’ paychecks as shutdown continues

All troops will miss a paycheck if Congress does not agree on a deal to reopen the government before Oct. 15, the next pay date for the military.

Like, cake stuck to the side of the pan with hardened frosting so it becomes like cake jerky.

I shoulda mentioned take your antidepressants, lol.

Don’t take advice because nobody has ever lived through what’s about to happen. Make mistakes. Live life. Become a low level alcoholic. Try that drug you always wanted. Travel. Society will probably fall apart before you’re 50 so enjoy shit now. Moisturize. Drink water. Get a dog.
