I don't think 55% are coming from Ukraine. But boy would it be something if the Russian vets were walking around limbs that said "Made in Ukraine".

And wow... This lady, Is she all but advocating they off the wounded vets as they don't work and their care sends money abroad?

That thread was tangentially inspired by these uniform concepts that @steillustrates.bsky.social has been posting recently. Can't you just picture these characters hanging out in the bridge conversation pit? Ste captures this TNG era so beautifully.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.

But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Play it Later - Gator Days

Transcript

Panel 1

August has just finished downloading a game that he's been looking forward to playing. Unfortunately, he also has to get to work so he doesn't have time to playing it right now. On his computer screen is the notice that the download is complete and an option to tip "15%", "30%", or "50%".

August (thinking): I've been waiting for this game forever. I'll play it after work.

Panel 2

It's later in the evening and August is making dinner. He's putting some onions in a pot and thinking about his new game. As much as he'd like to be playing right now, they got to eat and he promised his son one of his favorite dinners.

August (thinking): I'll play it after dinner.

Gustopher: TACO SOUP! TACO SOUP!

Panel 3

Dinner is done but August is exhausted. He goes to bed and his two cats have quickly settled in for sleep. August thinks about his game but he just doesn't have the energy for it.

August (thinking): Too tired... I'll play it later.

Panel 4

August is woken up by his to cats touching his face and meowing for food. He'd like to play his new game, but there's things that have to be done and he has to get to work.

August: I'll play it after work... Eventually.

Nougat: Maw (possibly meaning "Excuse me good sir, but I find myself in a most peckish state and it be pleasing if you could find it fit to fill my dining bowl with your most delicious of food morsels. I apologize for waking you in this most undignified manner but it is imperative that I dine soon I fear that I might perish from this foul hunger.")

Mewbert: Mew (possibly meaning "FEED ME! NOW!")

They had to replace the battery. This is what I owe, in addition to the wisdom tooth extraction for my roommate which he is paying me back for. He will also be paying for half of this, but we do not have this money. Please help.

I find this is generally because people aren't sharing their opinions nearly often enough. If we were a bit more opinionated on the internet, I'm sure there would be a growing consensus.
