Anyone have a bead on the Discord replacement?
There's NOTHING concerning about them tracking who you talk to most, what servers you interact with most. That couldn't possibly go bad.

When all is stripped away
And all you have in the moment is you
You can choose to see who you truly are
Begin to see what you truly want
What you enjoy when no one else matters.

Almighty Nothing,
Thank you for this bounty of whatever our economic overlords have seen fit to place upon our table or center console or whatever today. We are grateful that each mouthful has brought shareholder value to someone, and look forward to shitting it into the void.
Eat arbys, amen.

My edible fuelled Star Wars take:
I saw someone say, "something is only Star wars if there are Jedi (or the force) involved"
Andor is probably the best Star Wars out there. The MOST Star Wars.

This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution — not a king. Given Stephen Miller is directing much of a military policy, he should buff up on the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

I had a dream where I truly felt safe, had someone anticipate my needs without needing me to ask, when I couldn't verbalize them, and waking up, knowing I couldn't immediately find that place again felt soul crushing.

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

I think they're trying to make people quit so they don't have to pay unemployment. This is the dumbest boomer shit.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
