Kid Rock’s 2001 song, “Cool, Daddy Cool,” which contains the lyrics, “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory (but I say that’s mandatory).”

Which moron booked Kid Rock for the MAGA family values concert in the middle of a pedophile news cycle? JD Vance?

Actually, something like this would be a great way to keep in touch with a client or colleague in a wintery climate:

Been thinking about you. Hope the ice didn’t cause you too many difficulties! -7 the other morning was not something we expected, but grateful the power stayed on! Spring will eventually spring.

Q3: Do you have multiple communication formats, or stick to a single type (email, phone, postal mail, social media, etc.)?

I set a timer and am here for #FreelanceFriends! (Speaking of timers - since my iOS update my timer ALWAYS immediate repeats itself and I can't figure out how to disable that. Tips?)

Women-- get angry, get loud, get engaged. These dickwads are coming to steal your vote.
The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.

It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Breaking on MS NOW:

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.

The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.
