The arc of the moral universe is long, but it only bends toward justice if we grab it and bend until it gets fucking bent. Friend of Andre, friend of Samantha. she/her. The only constant is change.

Do we intro? I'm a game designer, photographer, potter, sewist, pretty good cook & middlin' Fortnite player. I live with my spouse and two teenage boys in the place where we failed us the most and I did my best to avert that. I am striving to contribute to a community of action.

I am not a doctor but this sounds a lot like covid.

I just spent over a week applying for coverage because of qualifying event. So many forms. After 6 different times filling out the form, I go to pay and I got this:

I am not covered until payment is received.

A screenshot of an error that says
"Connectivity Error! We are unable to accept payment at this time due to connectivity issues. Your application has been submitted and will be processed. You will not get charged at this time and will receive an invoice in the mail."

Yeah, fair. It's art, which means it's open to critique.

"No one has died" says Rubio. He's lying. They are all lying.

If anyone has higher res video of this event, I'd like to make a better quality gif. But for now... Here is your Frog ICE animated gif.

This is the video I came for.

I object to this renewing because I think the mild look on inflatable frog's face is part of the success of the bit. Irritated frog is someone else's hero.

Important bit buried in here is that previously there was a scuffle over an American flag & all three participants were arrested, DOJ threatened to prosecute the cops for arresting the maga guy who was involved so they dropped the charges on him but charges on the two protestors remain.

I am pretty well convinced don is sharing his crushed up Ritalin in the form of meth.

I mean, even if you answer that, you're assuming it's a scam right?

You know what would be useful on your website? An "unsold" section where I could just browse the stuff it's possible to buy.

Yesterday I stop up from my desk and my hand started scrabbling around in it looking for something. Reader, I haven't smoked in 20 years but I was looking for my cigarettes.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

I wonder if any journalists have bothered talking to landlords of people who've been abducted by ICE.

Like there are reddit posts of landlords openly planning on using ICE to evict their tenants for them, etc.

I am aware and have seen the analysis and the original skeet, but I can't figure it out. It's maybe not concrete enough for me to grok.

All these drugstore chains closing because they can't compete with the big guys. Who are the big guys? WalMart?

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content.

I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

TLDR: The PA Supreme Court has kept our elections fair and made voting easier. Billionaires hate it.
