It entertains me how much of history is "It's nonsense, but it's been there for so long..."
That building also has a minstrel's gallery. The Victorians felt sure it must have had one and "restored" it. Nope, never there. But it's now Victorian, so... historic.

Where in Southampton is King John's Palace and how did it get its name
Immediately, it's a name that evokes with it all the Plantagenet courtly drama and valour that we expect of a king who signed the Magna Carta.

On the one hand, the pipe now has a better fitting jacket. On the other, the hole now has a friend.
(Actually good, I wondered if the high pressure spray was washing out under the road, please go fill that back in.)

PSA to journalists coming to MSP to cover the ongoing ICE surge: Please don’t roll up on our school patrol members randomly asking for info! 🤦🏽♀️
We keep getting reports of this and it freaks us out. YOU ARE DRIVING THE SAME RENTAL CARS AS ICE.

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

All this and I'm pretty sure my housemate is losing her job next month (disability).
I have genuinely no idea how I'm supposed to carry on, or even why. I don't see how I can make enough money to get through the next month, let alone out of this hole. Things just get worse every day.

we need to talk about how in modern tech UI, you are constantly one or two highly fumble-able interactions from accidentally Sharing things with any recent contact. it used to just be the phone and now even google docs is like "you've typed the @ symbol! should we tag/notify this guy? think fast!"

I cannot get the pharmacy/GP to understand I am on ONE per day of this pill. 1. 1 times 28 is 28. Not 56. I wrote "28 pills not 56" on my last request.
But I daren't say "give me 0 this month" or they'll probably cut me off forever...
So much of my day is spent correcting NHS mistakes.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

Oh for crying out loud, we have another flood alert.
(Don't worry - this is "inconvenient for me as a disabled person", not "danger to life", it's just I'm very tired, very broke, and wasn't planning on getting groceries today.)
Can something please go right? Something?

Let's talk about keeping your reptiles safe in the cold, with no power.
Step one: don't panic. Weather in wherever they're from also fluctuates. They might be annoyed and might sleep a lot but one day of no lights won't harm them. 🦎

Buy the cheap 50lb bags of non-clumping litter and put them in your car over your rear axle wherever that happens to be. Do at least 100lbs. Your rear axle just doesn't have much weight on it compared to your front axle which contributes to fishtailing etc.
Hey southerners, put a bunch of containers of kitty litter in your car right now. Put it under your front wheels if you get stuck and it will often give you enough traction to get out.

Listen, I'm ALL about primaries to oust the establishment Dems, it needs to happen. Having said that, these small to medium sized accounts are rampant, negative and certainly do not promote the unity we need to defeat this fascist regime. These people probably didn't vote and then bash those who did

I want a national general strike, but we're unlikely to get one because so many people live paycheck to paycheck and would lose healthcare. Not to mention that services like disability can punitively decide if you are able to attend a protest, you're able to work, and cancel or audit your benefits.
