Not sure where my wife saw it, but reports of ICE on Carpenter St, NW Philly (Mt Airy/Chestnut Hill).

Stay safe, Philly.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Here’s John Zeigler, one of the greatest guitarists you’ve likely never heard of. We lost him WAY too early, a fellow Philadelphian who moved to LA and became a staple at the Baked Potato:

If you’re lazy and never switched your default search engine in MS Edge, this is your reminder.

I thought I was at a guitar company’s official website, but my CC kept being denied.

Total scam, turns out. Top website in Bing’s search, “<brand>guitarco.com” instead of the real <brand>guitars.com

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

If you are tempted to avoid jury service because it's inconvenient or difficult, please remember this case and the others that have found citizens targeted by this administration not guilty. Jury service is public service and your participation absolutely matters.
🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

5/5 We cannot express how meaningful this data point is. In 2020, one could have reasonably been concerned about the growing suburbs of Boise, ID and how they’d respond to extremism and evangelical Christianity. Turns out much to our surprise — they reject it.
