I love when boomers say things like “we didn’t have autism or ADHD back in my day.”
Anyway, here’s my dad and his old cigar box filled with random pens he’s collected over the years. Some are as old as I am.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

*We repeat: Friday’s CDC shooting wasn’t random. It’s the product of years of attacks on public health by Trump and our own boss, RFK Jr.*

they have already served their time. they have served 4 times longer than required by contract. IDGAF what’s in their pants or what’s on their documents or who they used to be. They have EARNED retirement benefits.
The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

I worked in digital advertising for years. They don’t care about your texts. They want to identify you, your location, and your habits, so they can sell your data to advertisers. Don’t even need your name. Everyone is a number in a system. Even your grocery rewards card is tied to data tracking 🤷♀️
This new WhatsApp marketing campaign is hilarious. It doesn’t matter if they can’t see your messages. They’re still part of Meta and are absolutely collecting and profiting off your data.
