This is fucking trash.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Along with the racist fake grievance of "apologizing for being white," there's also the fact that a bunch of white folks seem to believe (and/or are willing to suggest) that even acknowledging systemic advantages they get for being white is the equivalent of being "forced to apologize."
Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

I can say with great authority that the cat became un-constipated somewhere around the Tijeras exit.
Also it’s a very cold time of year to drive with the windows down.

Starting the day in the least enjoyable way possible—finding an emergency vet!
Sergei is either constipated as hell, has an intestinal blockage, or reliving a VERY SPECIFIC part of his past life as a soldier at Stalingrad.
Intestinal blockage seems likeliest because that’s the most expensive.

I saw someone wondering why the elites and the MSM don't keep banging the drums about the fascist in chief calling people "radical left scum" like they have and continue to do about "deplorables." It's because they agree with the fascist that leftists are scum and also do not fear the left(s), lol.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

ADHD is when you have to “pay attention” but you can’t “pay,” because you’re broke. But, on the plus side, you have a million dollars in gift cards to the one thing you feel like doing.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Everyone always wants to know “Who is the American gestapo?” but no one ever stops to ask “How is the American gestapo?”
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...

People who want to get morally superior about how they hand-wash everything really gotta reckon with the fact that machine dish-washing uses considerably LESS water and emits considerably fewer greenhouse emissions than standard handwashing practices do.
