Amazon also drove all the high street shops out of business and then raised their prices.

Amazon is the same price or more expensive than the remaining shops

There are other online retailers. Your surviving local shops probably sell online

This is Calvin at @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social. He doesn't eat hay but he has lots of other animals friends who do and he'd love for you to chip in to help feed them for the winter! donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

my interpretation:
cow has reached the nose rubbing stage with grey cat
cow sees orange cat and is momentarily frightened, retreating to hiss stage
cow strengthens his resolve to ignore, which is the friendliest of all cat stages and reserved for those you hope will become true friends

That's style, not American English, let your editor know that Webster himself used two Ls www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/canc...

'Canceled' or 'cancelled'?

One L or two?

I feel like this is what Trump does, but his supporters never fact check him. If it disagrees with their memory they just assume their memory is wrong

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 1d

we're talking about lies lie "he knocked down the building" and the proof being "the building is still standing and has never been knocked down". Not that, but that level of easy to disprove.

Compulsive liars don't tell lies that make sense or benefit them, they just lie and lie and lie

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 1d

i mean in this case they were, they were taken to court because of lies that the liar told about them. Of course they won the court case since it was all made up, really really over the top stuff that would have been incredibly easy to prove if it had happened.

But court is stressful

i really do feel like dogs are going to bark

you don't punish the dog you change the system so dogs aren't in charge

had a compulsive liar as manager once and he's just a very sick person who moves from company to company, people who hired him and didn't check references should be punished

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 1d

he's still getting my no. 2 because he's not HH/FG . All I really know about him is he likes sport and stealing from people

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 1d

well i know someone who got Maria Steen and CC mixed up and can't be convinced to separate them in her mind, that would really throw them off 😆

Last night I dreamed DJT died of stroke.

I read the news headlines on every news website.

I woke up and I checked them all.

I felt emotions.

I realized that I am a youngish person and chances are this is something I will live to see.

I would sooner see him in prison.

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 1d

he looks so VULNERABLE i must take care of him and mind him and look after him

I'm now thinking of doing this on their behalf. We'll see if I lose momentum

A design that looks good on a card is tricky

I could just do outlines like the iphone ads 😅

or i might have put my foot in my mouth in a way that made me look like a... *checks list* ....zoophile?

I'm not!

Overheard on the Luas:

"Yes there's a solicitor there called Thomas Mohr.
M-O-H-R.
I don't know if he's Catholic"

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 2d

That's an interesting point!

I imagine they do it because they are passionate about democracy and this won't affect that?

Am I naive?

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 2d

thanks for this because for some reason I'm on a list saying I'm anti-sex worker and a bunch of other awful stuff I definitely am not..

Following someone else's block list seems like such a bad idea, this person is probably maga getting us to block each other 😭

@spacermod.bsky.social Hello. am definitely not a TERF or SWERF and I'm leftist and bi and pro LGBTQIA+, I hope I am sufficiently anti-racist to be an anti-racist and ditto anti-abelist and also I'm disabled and don't deny COVID (getting my booster tomorrow) and I'm not a cop or pedo or zoophile etc

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 2d

I think that I should not be on this blocklist and suspect it is a fake list from the fact I am on it

Super Saiga @supersaiga.bsky.social · 2d

I am feeling such relish, everyone. such relish. I am relishing this. This is like the best relish. No BBQ sauce for me, 100% relish. If I could bottle this I would have the most successful sandwich shop. That's how good this relish is. mmmmmmmmmmm

I am proud to live in a country where stealing €3,300 is still a scandal that can end a [extraordinarily brief] political career.

I'm so glad for that tenant that not only will they get their 3,300 back after 12 years, but they have the satisfaction of everybody knowing their landlord was a scumbag
