I don’t give to or promote online fundraisers for individuals unless I know the recipient personally. Please don’t ask me to. I prefer to give money to charitable organizations. It’s not because I don’t trust individuals to use the money wisely or think them unworthy, it’s because scams are rampant.

7yo was telling me about her dream last night.

“And I got to design and create my own ice cream truck.”
“Oh, that sounds fun.”
“And use it to terrorize people!”

That’s my girl.

Not even these old MAGA dupes are dumb enough to buy the bullshit you’re slinging about not having plans to develop further, Mr. Lawyer Guy. You’ve very clearly lied about your intent every step of the way. It’s comical how bad you are at it.

Sorry, Old Man Who Has Lived on Fairway 6 for 40 years, it’s not a “recreation space” if dues are $4k per year. No one believes you care about the wildlife. Yes, more houses would, in fact, fit with the aesthetic of *the neighborhood you live in.*

Attended a town planning board meeting recently that boiled down to a fight between scummy, lying, greedy developers and ancient, elitist, disingenuous NIMBYs and I’ve never rooted for an auditorium to catch fire more.

Cav(R), Gentleman Rogue @combatcavscout.bsky.social · 12h

You know how I know this is bullshit?

1) A live prisoner is always worth more than a dead adversary

2) Everything DHS says is bullshit, why wouldn’t this be?

I would happily eat 4+ russet potatoes for dinner because I am Irish and maybe a little Hobbitish, but what I am not is a little bitch

Would I eat 4 russet potatoes for dinner? No, would you? But I can take down this bowl of tots like nobody’s business.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Sure but I’d rather just get home. If I had a long layover, sure, I’d hit a lounge. But I tried not to have long layovers.

Cav(R), Gentleman Rogue @combatcavscout.bsky.social · 18h

Eh, I never bothered much with the lounge access. Layovers were never long enough to justify traipsing across whatever airport I was in. I think I went to a lounge, like, two or three times.

But they have amazing help when it comes to booking travel, and lots of rebates and offers.

There are no annual fees for the AmEx Platinum if you’re an active duty service member and it comes with a ridiculous number of perks. One of the best deals out there; wish I’d known about it before I was a fucking O-4.

I canceled mine when I retired but I hear some folks keep theirs going.

why didn’t they call it the No Kings Unless It’s One of Those Monarchies With More Limits on Executive Power Protest

Jo Kershaw @mthrjo.bsky.social · 22h

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 1d

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

PEOPLE! There are LITERAL CBRN EXPERTS on this site who will tell you that the best thing you can do for tear gas or pepper spray is to just flush your eyes and face with water.

Any “home remedy” bullshit is just that: bullshit. It won’t help and can actually make things worse.

Spread THAT word.

The bleakest thing about this video is that all the things this guy loves about the UK are relatively cheap and easy to build. Alabama could have a better train system than England inside of 10 years if we decided that was a priority. We are a rich country that chooses to live like a poor one.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"
