So, a little positivity because we can all use it. Here is my pupper when she was small meeting her best friend who lived across the fence. (She's the one in the pink collar)

Got both mine in the same shoulder. Which I didn't think about at the time but was shoulder I landed when I fell down the stairs. I slept well but damn injection site pain was insane.

C'mon now, don't do First Brands dirty like that. PE has more bags than your wife going on vacation and when you get to check-in those fees are gonna kill you.

I mean this with all due condescension, sarcasm and derision as possible. Telling me I should try cognitive behavioral therapy for massive amounts of pain from a fall down the stairs will get you a fuck off. If I wanted to learn about casting magic spells I'd be at fucking wizarding school.

Everyone talks about staring into it. Nobody ever talks about drinking from it or scooping it onto a pan, dehydrating it to a power and snorting it.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

Trump isn't bailing Argentina out. He's purchasing a place to flee to if his empire of shit filled diapers collapses.

But why? Why offer capital relief to community banks? I thought the economy was strong. I was told the US has made trillions in tariff deals. (For the record, it's most definitely CRE default related).

US regulators are poised to offer capital relief to community banks.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

I don't recall a member of Congress facing a restraining order involving a former girlfriend - for allegedly threatening to release nude photos and videos of her, but maybe someone has the receipts. Rep. Cory Mills R-FL in hot water again. www.wesh.com/article/flor...

Florida Congressman Cory Mills ordered to stay away from former girlfriend

She filed for the restraining order when she says Mills began threatening to share nude photos and videos with others, and allegedly threatened her future boyfriends.

Have to love Jefferies messaging - "I just want all these Republican thugs who are trying to create an authoritarian regime with no repercussions that the statue of limitations is five years".

Dude, do you fucking hear yourself? do you hear the problem in your statement and line of thinking?

Only half the part. The other half is the supports injured workers receive. WSIB is notorious for kicking injured workers off even if they are still unable to work. Employers are notorious for making up reasons to give to WSIB to kick them off. The supports themselves are barely if ever adequate
