A signal boost would be a colossal help.

I feel this in my bones…

THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype.

We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing.

I have a lot to say

Grant PUD determined that one of the dam's turbine/generator sets was overfilled with mineral oil during maintenance. We now estimate 84 gallons of oil spilled into the Columbia River. Investigation and cleanup are ongoing for the next couple days. We are still seeing minimal to no oil on the river.
We are responding to an estimated 240 gallons of mineral oil spilled into the Columbia River at Priest Rapids Dam. Please do not enter the river between Priest Rapids Dam and Pasco as we assess the situation and place boom to contain the oil. If you see oiled wildlife, call 800-222-4737.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about dancing with yetis. It's about making ill-advised, Faustian bargains with the Peppermint Man. It's about shrinking down the super rich and trapping them in snow globe pocket dimensions.

Matthew Lillard is a gift to American cinema and Tarantino is an asshole.
Fuck all that, Lillard is great. Tarantino can pound sand.

Scream and Five Nights at Freddy's star Matthew Lillard has admitted it "it f***ing sucks" to be on the receiving end of an insult from Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino. https://bit.ly/3KD9PnN

Wait, does Tarantino not realize that even the people who like his films don't like *him*? Like, even people who are all "Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds were amazing!" think he's a creepy weirdo and an asshole.
