has UPS been just completely fucked for anyone else lately? they keep having packages that they say are being delivered on a given day that aren't, they're leaving shit at the fucking road instead of bringing it to the house (we are 1/4mi into the woods on a major road so that's prime for theft)...

Here's Michelle Wu doing the introduction to a Know Your Rights video in Haitian Creole. This is the kind of stuff I think of when I say she truly represents the entire state. Great work by the Mayor and her team.

We're a year into this thing and journalists are still using the administration's framing of issues. Just because Trump wants to help his friends make more money doesn't mean greenhouse gases and pollution are somehow no longer dangerous.

NO ITS NOT STOP REPORTING THIS
Homan says the ICE drawdown in Minnesota is "already underway this week, and will continue into the next week."
A "small footprint" will remain, he says.
But Trump's ICE surge in Minneapolis is officially over.

I'm really not handling the fact that we are right back into '90s diet culture very well.
We swung into body positivity, people accepting themselves, and then as soon as it became socially acceptable, everyone just went JUST KIDDING, I NEVER WANTED TO BE FAT

You know, I find the "He Gets Us" ads annoying for obvious reasons, but one of the less obvious ones is because...no, I don't think Jesus would "get" any of this, especially not what his supposed followers are doing these days.

heated rivalry is a romance show based on a romance novel made by someone who deeply appreciates the genre
our flag means death was a "romantic comedy" made by someone who didi not actually appreciate the genre he was pretending to be part of
i think about this a lot

Cranky morning. Yesterday HR was like, "book your own flights, here's the guidance". System allowed us to book.
This morning they cancelled a bunch of things, sent us nastygrams about doing it wrong, etc.
Rebooked, and upgraded my seats to comfort at least, but...good lord. Pain in my ass.
