TI Casino is like, “do you want to go to the Island?” And sometimes, I think of “The Island” film with Ewan McGregor.

Just texted a friend "can you remind me when you're around tomorrow/overmorrow" and I just think if a few of us really gave it a try suuuper casually we could bring back this word for day after tomorrow next year

Are you for serious, Minnesota? H: 30, L: 2 and 60% chance of snow tomorrow? Ugh, this Ramp Agent job is challenging me.
I’m still recovering from Sunday and its 6-9” mess.

FIL wanted me to watch some computer technician to see how he could get the laser running, we plug it in, and it works today. I jest, “it knows I’m watching.”

My current part-time job is loading/unloading planes, and it’s slave wages. We don’t even get a clock in “bonus”/“thank you” for walking 1 mi. across the airport. Yes, it’s “at least” one mile. I walk 3mph, and it takes 20 mins… that’s at least a mile … with “moving walkways.”
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Wait… so where’s the “prolife” or even the “probirth” denouncing this brutality?
Wait… are they racist? I thought they projected that on … oh… they did indeed project that.

ICE attacking an expectant mother. Strange how the "pro-life" crowd all cheer for this. MAGA.

Is that PBI, West Palm Beach? Hm, it must’ve come from Mar-a-Lardo.
So, a SAM flight came into MSP today. SAM is the call sign for a DoD flight. It flew from Florida to here *during a blizzard*.
So, what Department of Defense folks do you think rate a special handling flight into a blizzard?
Hegseth? Vance? More HSI agents for operation Metro Surge?

Oh, so THAT’s how it’s going to be today (as the starter cord on the snow blower snaps and there’s 6-9” of flurries falling on our doorsteps)? Then, I’m off to load/unload planes for 8h (in the same 6-9” deposits with 15mph wind, 20s F).

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

I don't know why I sometimes think of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Just idly daydreaming, I guess.
I'm sure the 22 million people whose healthcare premiums will triple in six days are delighted by this news, you inhuman fuck.

Interesting post Department of Labor. Why don't we check in to see how James Truslow Adams ended the 1931 book in which he coined the term "American Dream?"

The US military faces a tight squeeze! With fewer people using *checks notes* Ohio-class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines, it's lost more and more money. $1 trillion in the 12 months ending September alone.🤡
NYPD faces a tight squeeze! Fewer people want to be beaten down. Losing $12B.🤡

The “levers of govt” part is precisely what happened in King George’s court, and the American colonies were unhappy and wanted autonomy. Just saying.

Do you remember the famous #Earthrise photo from #Apollo8? On Christmas Eve in 1968, William Anders turned his camera toward Earth and captured the legendary photo. It showed humans a new perspective, with the moon in the foreground and Earth floating in distant space. 🌎🚀🔭📸
