I search for my cell phone like it's a lost hiker in the woods. Divide the area up in a grid and start eliminating squares. It's tricky, though, because they might have rolled into a ditch or a pile of leaves. Just like looking under stuff on the counter.

Grateful that I have a safe home, food security, and a support network. Wishing the same for all those who don't have any of my blessings.

At least this wouldn't be unprecedented. The US has a sad history of helping dictators escape justice.

Why are cartoon mouse holes always perfect arches with engineered precision? Why are they always so large? Why doesn't light penetrate the threshold?
Is it because they don't have real estate developers trying to cut corners?

Do you see the people sling?
Slinging the subs of angry men.
It is the sandwich of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the mustard in your heart
Echoes the mustard in your wrap
There is a fight about to start
When ICE agents come!
Sean Dunn, thank you for your service! 🫡

Listen up everybody. Helping disabled children is a Democrat program. Not something Republicans care about. If you think disabled children deserve to be helped, where to put your support should be pretty clear.

If you don't want Google to force feed news to you, you need to modify it on the new tabs settings. I need to throttle the amount of news I consume these days and I don't want to be assaulted by some fresh hell every time I look something up.
