Friends don’t let friends move to modern day Russia.

Conmen await you there. And, possibly, violent death.

I stg, social media mutants who think they’re entitled to services are awful.

It’s one thing when it’s someone down on their luck, with little resources.

No, dudes who own multiple companies think they can pay me with “exposure” or “paying it forward.”

Tell that to your investors lol.

The best part about being asked to work for free?

People getting buttmad when you politely explain you can’t afford to do so.

“Oh, but you could afford to go to Utah.”

Yeah!

Because I do not. Fucking. Work. For. Free.

Good morning, wasteland. Don’t forget to stretch. Especially my fellow 40+ olds 😘

We went up into the Rockies yesterday, looked at all the foliage, I blasted Enya to the embarrassment of my son, and these are all things that I recommend as well ❤️

Facebook genuinely has a policy of not caring and it infuriates me.

Danny Palmer @dannypalmer.bsky.social · 5d

Urgh, Facebook has just stopped caring about scams now, huh? Friend of mine was subject to a fake account pretending to be her and Insta's response to reports was basically, eh, nothing wrong with this!

Also, ace piece obviously. :)

Karen and her Facebook partner are truly the dumbest scammers I’ve come across in ages.

Call them dumb and dumbest.

Excellent reporting (as always) from @nataliaantonova.bsky.social. It saddens me how much of the world is a scam.

I spend time on some local Craft Show forums (looking for unique places to sell our comics) and even for these small shows the organizers have to put disclaimers not to pay anyone else.

America is truly the beautiful and I have loved every place I have lived in my country

Emerald Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The water does look emerald in color. The sun shines. Mountains and evergreens rise up toward a dramatic blue sky with white puffy clouds. It’s heaven.

Me, of all people.

Weekends - werk, but with friends and beer

I don’t think I’ll make it to old age, but I can look back and say I wasn’t bored

I have been going back to the beginning.

I’ve been going back to that Soviet high rise.

The cigarette burns in the fabric couch in the kitchen.

The neighbors’ cats rubbing against my legs in dim hallways with flickering lights.

91 felonies is not an episode. It’s a sustained pattern of behavior.

The state of California trying to rehabilitate him even now is delusional work.

There’s no “mental health” case when you’ve been stealing cars and doing meth for years, manipulating idiots like Chesa Boudin, and finally getting so high that you kill two people.

His defense can do whatever, but judges don’t have to indulge this insanity.

Sanctioned propagandist, prolific racist, and noted nepo baby Tigran Keosayan has died in Moscow.

His wife and former mistress Margarita Simonyan announced the news on her social media.

We all die, but some of us have more peaceful deaths than we deserve.

So, I'm talking tc a friencl of mine who has a 19-yezr-31d caugh-_er. Said daugnter is very pre-_ty,
and very picky, she's never hac a "real bcyfriend." Jntil she meets this one guy she inds
amazingy attractive. Thing is. her attracton is based p-imariy on -_he fact tha: he's "p-etty" too.
Nice face, works out, muscular arms, she loves his arms. Her mother is telling me all this, say,
'Wal, there's obviously a deep spi-itua nnnecton here, what nald possibly go w-ong?
Their first cete, the girl is in his car, he goes to get something ouz cf the center console, she sees
there's a gun in there. Which. as her mother puts t to me. "she saw as a postive thing, because
that means ne's not a liberal wimp.
Instantly say, 'Wnat kind of gun?
'Wal, she doesn't know. She recognizec t as some scrt af Glock but that's it'
"Find out what kind of Glcck.'
The next time we talk, she says, "C)h, she asked him. it's a Gock 22.'
say, 'Uh-oh.'
'What?
'Serously? A Glock 22? That's like I-eving a drown Mustang You were ALMOST cool. This guy s
obviously a laser She shoud dump him, right now.'
'Wal, ne's a young guy, he probably doesn't have a lot of money. Glock 22s a-e real-y cheap as
police turn-in guns rignt now. It's probably Ell he coulc affcrd.'
'Uh-huln You know what are also really affordable as oolice turn-in guns right now? Ircr sightec
Gock 17 9mms. Actually, iron sighted Glock 45 9mms are a glut on tne market as police turn-ns
right row, rl very lightly-csec or even new-in-box condition, because sa many police
departments are getting rid af them, they think they need a gun tnat car take a red cot. This guy
CHOSE a Glock 22 .za-caliber instead of a gun tnat makes serse. He's obviccsly mentally
unstable She should fiee before she gets emotionally hurt.'
Well, my friend treats this like it's a joke. Shas a bit ronplcssed by the 'act actualy seem
serious.
Fest-famrard a few months, it turns out Mr. Have Great Arms and a Glcck 22 is a total player
wno'…
