Are these for like daily use? Just when you're stuffy? Is it meant like "do this for 8 weeks and then you're done"?

WHAT A GOOD IDEA
LET’S TRY IT

I heard that 72.9% of antifa’s members are health care execs and if we instituted not-for-profit healthcare we’d drive antifa out of business

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 5h

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Everyone, I’m just <sniffs> I’m just so proud of us all.

We finally did it.

LibsOfTikTok finally targeted me.

<single tear rolls down cheek>

I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long <unfolds acceptance speech> and first I want to thank everyone who made it possible: Harambe, Kony2012, my fa

A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

Oh, however will you endure, knowing you are the target of their ire and scorn.

Oh, the humanity.

BTW, don't laugh yourself into a hernia or anything, you only just recovered enough to play soccer again.

I will be making Beef Bougie this weekend. Gonna see how it does with shallots instead of red onions, and using a bottle of Apothic Brew (red wine infused with cold-brew coffee) for the wine. :D

Ahh I've been busy sorting, folding and packing for Harmonic Flow tomorrow at Strangeways FXBG!

Here's the new shirt design, Cosmic Terrene (featuring the Space Toad). It has glitter, and comes in unisex (XS-4X) and ladies (S-3X).

Since it is Friday, I am once again reminding you that I am running for CA Assembly District 72, and that my solemn pledge not to use any campaign funds to eat excessive amounts of tortellinis remains in effect.

These are personal tortellinis.

Reading those comments I thought this was a grim dark game but look below what the game is and how it is presented. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@radiodeadair.com Is there a particular RDA Tech Q&A that you've done that maybe covers how to switch out a power supply on a desktop rig? Especially if it's going from non-modular to fully-modular?

Michelle Travis @samuraiko.bsky.social · 2h

I'm upgrading the power supply on my desktop this weekend, so of course, my good little process analyst self is researching HOW to do this.

And in the process, discover I'm going from a non-modular to fully-modular PS. HOOOO boy.

I'm gonna be taking a ton of pics to remember what plugs in where.

I'm very proud of this one, in part because it forces me to really think about this movie and what it's doing (and because I also cover the other two dubs it's had because I am a maniac who makes questionable life choices

Looking through my RIFT screenshots (including the HUNDREDS I took when they said, "Hey, send us screenshots of the in-game things you want as dim items"), and I found this. LOOK AT THIS THING. (I can't remember whose dim this was.)

Screenshot from the RIFT MMORPG, showing a player dimension (player housing) where the owner has cobbled together several seemingly random pieces to create a piano.

Perhaps the likes of Chappelle, Ansari and CK felt there was less at stake because, by their own estimation, they have already suffered cancellation. Except that their exile from public life appears to include fresh Netflix specials and Grammy awards. Louis CK should count himself lucky; if he’d been caught with his dick in his hand in Najd, rather than Colorado, he may well have retained neither of those appendages (punitive limb amputation is an actual thing).
