Okay you smart lot, my instagram, I can message people, I can see stories, people can message me, but when I go to their profile it says "no posts yet", even though I can see how many posts they have on their account at the top. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Any suggestions?

Maybe the decade-plus of Punisher and Stormtrooper decals on minivans and commuter cars were saying something....?

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I get your intent but maybe don't tell the lady with code on Mars that she's in for a rude awakening for not embracing AI, when I've literally seen this shit barf my own code back at me.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

All eyes needed.

ICYMI: I published a coloring book based on Coogi/tundra sweaters. Something I've been trying to work out for a long time. It's meant to be a therapeutic tool for the hip-hop generation.

Yes President Trump was slurring and exhibiting disordered thinking in his appearance before the generals. But at least he didn’t have a hoarse voice like Biden in the first debate.

Underrated part of his game, he's a very strong rebounder. He attacks the boards voraciously

Medicine Clam @medicineclam.bsky.social · 7d

Losing Tatum’s 8 defensive boards a game is low key going to be a real challenge that I’m not sure they’re prepared to deal with at the moment.

Ezra Jack Skeets @sundownactproof.bsky.social · 7d

I don’t either. I think Mazzulla can pull something out of this group. I AM worried about the defensive end now that Porzingis, Horford, and Holiday are gone.

Front office can’t do their biggest job, which is to shut the owner up and get him in line with an actual basketball vision. Doesn’t help that the VP of ops is his son.
