When I evacuated from the hurricane in 2005, the Red Cross offered us cash to help with expenses.
The Salvation Army offered us "a hot meal" which was just a smoked sausage soaked in cheap barbecue sauce with a stale slice of white bread we had to say how thankful we were while getting preached at.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

China has banned calling your car self-driving when it isn't, a ban on slick door handles that don't work in emergencies is in the works, and now it's coming for rapid 0-60 times, as it seeks to destroy every last one of Tesla's "innovations."

the motorcycle domino gag you see time to time in TV and movies is even better when you learn the bikes involved are usually very heavy for motorcycles and thus usually really hard to pick back up once knocked over

With weariness in my voice I asked her to please not, because I don’t want to clean that out of the solo stove, and she shot back with an impassioned speech about the ways men have always tried to hold back women pursuing great science. What have I wrought.

I am still amazed at how thick Republicans are that Democratic voters really, *really* do not like the Clintons.
They're establishment-popular, not actually popular.
"You come for Trump we'll come for Clinton!" they say, ignoring the constant stream of memes and jeering over Bill.

Mayor Pete has the right to marry because the gay men and lesbians who came before him fought for it. It was a movement based our identities in the plural sense as LGBTQ Americans. Pander somewhere else fella.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
