There's a tiny plastic Jesus at the bank:
No, I send them to a refiner I met.
I mean, don't you know how to calculate 50-75% purity to determine the value? Is it supposed to be hard?
The fact that they still bought plenty of American 40% silver coins was weird tho.
True story:
I found an auction w/ a lot of Sterling, but strangely, no one was bidding on these Israeli medals that ranged from 50-75% silver.
It's almost like they didn't want to own anything endorsed by the Israeli govt.
I bought them at half spot price, to melt.
TRUE, which may also explain why the fatigue got so much worse in August: heat wave + our central AC went out, & we didn't spend much time outside at all.
Anti-trans laws are there to give the state a legal reason to peek under your pants.

We’ve all been turned into pundits instead of people and it’s exhausting.

the “purity test” “big tent” crowd has in the last 3 months alone declared that we must all accept candidates who will sacrifice trans people’s civil rights & healthcare, who oppose abortion rights, & who openly sport nazi tattoos for a few decades. and if we don’t, we deserve what’s coming to us.
Erin’s being polite they’re not suggesting we overlook they’re fully saying that if we don’t accept him in spite of this the Dems are ruined

It is if I didn't have a serious Vit D deficiency. It's at ~1/2 the level it should be.
Immune problems, + too many red blood cells & high hemoglobin.
Sleep is pretty crappy too.
I'm also exhausted.
Holy cow:
My doc prescribed me *50,000 IUs of Vitamin D*.

That's ~10 of the over-the-counter supplements I've been taking. 😆

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do.
Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.
Point five is really important. The protests provoked errors from the administration (shit force one) that may haunt them for years. That’s what happens when you stop being reactive.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Hey, so another piece of advice for people who are S-Corps: there is a company called Opolis that acts as your employer of record and will provide health insurance and other benefits.
If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

So I started scouring the internet. TikTok, Instagram, court docs, and local news sites, in Spanish and English.

It was hardly scientific. But I found senior citizens tackled. Pregnant women handcuffed. Kids detained. A veteran pulled out of his car on the way to work.

The videos were everywhere

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

So are #Russian birth rates, for similar reasons. Wonder why.

Lowest in 200 years for Vladdy. He needs more cannon fodder.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
They shot the dog.

If it were a movie, this would be where the tide turns.
When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion
What major societal event did you miss, because of circumstances in your own life?

I missed hurricane Katrina, bc I was having my first child, & Gamergate, bc I was having my 4th.
