F*ck the person who takes you out for a fancy expensive Valentine’s dinner, kill the one who ignores or forgets about it, and marry the one who takes you to Waffle House.

We received this for the primary race to replace Wesley Hunt. I’m now curious to see what her next mailer will look like. 👀

Good on Southwest Airlines for adding so much capacity so quickly (all those 88** flight numbers) to get passengers back to the mainland from Puerto Rico. I can’t imagine the logistics that go into that.
Flight status showing direct flights today from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Orlando, Florida, some just 10 minutes apart.

Public school librarians in Florida must now apply labels on the front of certain nonfiction material to note that Gulf of Mexico is now Gulf of America. I’m surprised the legislation doesn’t require the font to be Times New Roman. #gulfofmexico #florida
Email text: When receiving your new materials, note that House Bill 549 requires you to apply an adhesive note on the front matter of any non-fiction library material that contains the term “Gulf of Mexico.” You may print the adhesive note on any available label, but it must include the following text: The body of water referred to as the “Gulf of Mexico” is officially designated in federal documents and U.S. maps as the “Gulf of America.” In addition, school website media pages are currently being updated with your school collection development plan and a link to your school classroom library collection. For now, please ensure your webmaster does not edit or remove these pages.

With TPUSA providing a platform to encourage student to “report” professors for discussing any social or political issues in a way they don’t like. Why don’t we ban library books while we’re at it? Oh, wait. Yeah.

Nextdoor getting a little rowdy last night.
Post asking “Who can drop off a gram rn? Add rillos,” which is funny enough, but the bemused and confused responses are chef’s kiss.

I hadn’t thought of that until Stephen Colbert discussed it on Fr. James Martin’s Spiritual Life podcast
Stephen Colbert on meeting the p... July 7 But what frightens me about knocking down the separation of church and state is not what it does to my country, as much as I don't want that to happen for my country, is that what it does to my faith. It's not getting religion in my politics. It's getting politics in my religion. And so if you're a Christian nationalist and the nation fails, it sounds like you got a pretty bad Christ over there. It sounds like you got a weak Christ over there. You know what I mean? What does it say about the message of the gospel if a mere market fluctuation could damage the reputation of the Lord? Come on. That's why you have to keep a separation of church and state.

Who among us? #floridaman #raccoonarrest
THE SUN BEACH BEAT BRADENTON BEACH Aug. 8, 4:14 a.m. Bridge Street, Warrant. An officer observed a man at the city pier with a small raccoon clinging to his leg. As the man walked toward Bridge Street, the raccoon followed behind. A police report stated that it is illegal to possess a Florida native species without first obtaining proper permits. The man reportedly told police he knew the possession was illegal but he had it as a pet for the past nine weeks after its mother was killed by a vehicle. Police told the man it was in the animal's best interest to be taken to a wildlife facility, and he reluctantly surrendered the raccoon to police, who secured it in the back of a patrol car and took it to a wildlife facility. The man reportedly gave police incorrect information about his birthdate, middle name, and social security number, and police determined the man had an outstanding felony warrant involving fentanyl. The man reportedly told police he “didn't want to get arrested the same day as his raccoon.” He was charged with failure to appear/felony warrant, possession of wildlife without permit, and false ID given to law enforcement. Bradenton Beach police were assisted by Holmes Beach police in identifying the man.

When you drop your external hard drive with every picture taken since 2006 & leave it at the computer hospital to be shipped to a clean room for $1100 and prayers for recovery, crossing the street for some therapeutic Home Slice and Sig’s Lagoon feels like the right move. #housky
