One of my favorite quotes I’ve heard across some of these short Chinese dramas:

“To be merciful to those who hurt you is the greatest cruelty to yourself.”

They really do use your mercy to continue to hurt you.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Except they did vote for it. Despite all the people telling that’s what’s they were supporting and voting for. They laughed and considering “owning the libs” as part of the appeal. They PROUDLY voted for it

They should be given zero off ramp. They supported fascism for clout and money

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

If you have selvedge stitches at the sides of your project, attach the new yarn after you work the selvedges. This way, the pattern at the side edges will not get interrupted.

And honestly I suspect a lot of those subscribers are like me-forgot about the subscription and barely use it. My son bought a PS 5 right before his accident and since his accident exclusively plays that-most of the games I find on Gamepass I end up purchasing and those are few and far between.

Damn right it was and Darin right it will. Microsoft has lost its ever loving mind. End this subscription nonsense. Their products are increasingly unstable and worse since going this route.

Same thing happened with affirmative action. Same with student loan debt. Same with minimum wage increases.

GOP puts up a black/brown face as the poster child for getting the benefit and white america overwhelmingly votes it down despite the fact that they benefit the most from it

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.
