Every rapid response chat I’m on is going berserk — forty ice agents indiscriminately capturing people if you can get down to Canal right now, please go!

More federal agents on Canal, counter protesters gather shouting the agents.

A screenshot of a first battle in Audionaut. On the left, a reactor and weapon bay are filled with patched modules. An inventory panel sits at the top left. In the top right is a Navigation view that suggests the player is moving through a set of constellations towards a shattered earth. In the bottom right is a viewport that shows two ships, A.S. Orpheus and Rogue Siren fighting each other.

i feel like 2 emails out of every 100 from distrokid are something useful like getting tiktok artist account access and the other 98 are just that one streaming service post . what the hell is bandzoogle . no please give us $15 to put ur music on zeeplop. what the hell are u saying to me

screenshot of the tumblr post from user orcboxer that reads "Have you seen the new show? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you."

hey so does anyone know if there's any recourse in the state of tx if a job advertises itself as 20-30 hours a week but in actuality it never falls below 40 and is in fact usually 60-85 hours/week?

Growing up in dfw in the early 2000s this was most definitely a thing lolll the schools would in fact regularly have a “pumpkin patch” that was just a bunch of pumpkins we could buy in the parking lot
