I wish I lived in a place where that mattered, where there were consequences.

Guys, why are we just standing here waiting while that guy we just shot to hell limps back to that room back there with the healing tank? Like, maybe I’m not seeing the bigger picture, but why don’t we just chase him down?

I listened for a bit in the car. It sounds like the Trump lawyer is arguing that it doesn’t matter because they, themselves, have determined that their threshold for not being able to execute laws has been crossed simply by protesters being present—at least that’s how it sounds to me.

I just assume all the accounts with more than a thousand followers are scams.

It seems there are two main reasons things haven’t gone completely to shit in the US: 1. Lawyers and the courts; 2. Journalists and the media. Most of us can’t do anything about the first, but we can support journalism. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe to news & donate to public media.

As I’ve learned more about them over the years, Ringo seems like the least assholic of the four.

I love Audition, don’t love paying monthly for it. If this has similar wave editing features and time stretching in multitrack, then I might take finally abandon adobe.

I started in acquisitions in my library this past January. B&T are/were our main vendor. I think I have yet to experience a normal work day, lol. We’re scrambling to get quotes from other vendors so we can buy books. We’ve maxed out our allotted spending at non-contract vendors—fun times.

Yo, whoever runs this account, just posting screenshots of Pete’s twitter account is kind of messed up. The message I see is that y’all don’t actually care about the people here. Maybe post here and screenshot to the fascist hellsite for a change.
