Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

They pinned it. It got 3.4 million views.

President Denies Reality Of Massive Nationwide Protests While Posting Videos of Himself Dumping Shit On Citizens

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command….

Today's a fantastic day to make no configuration changes to your production environments. If something goes wonky, you'll go mad trying to figure out if it's the AWS issue (possibly reflected through a vendor of yours who uses them) vs. your own shitty, shitty code.

Interesting if you follow @cbsnews.com on Bluesky, you’d have no idea that some of the largest mass protests in America are happening today. They did not post anything until literally just a few minutes ago.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. 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
