Just Monday past thou hast sipped the frothy brew of Morning Joe.
Was it not bitter? My lord, the milk of human kindness has run dry.
E’en the Grey Lady doth cast a pallor on thine name.
Thy castle is not safe, no mind the arrows that thy pretty Hunter shoots.

Since the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in Aug 22, there have been nearly $17 billion in planned U.S. solar manufacturing investments, 126 new or expanded facilities. These policies shifted reality and expectations fundamentally, helping changing the course of our nation and planet.

That is vastly dumber than I believed it could be. «“Why does anyone vote?” I ask myself. The answer cannot be that we believe that by doing so, we will influence the outcome of an election.» I checked but I already canceled my subscription. It’ll expire in May 2025. Good luck everybody

ok since u asked: did you know all of the transformers are canonically transgender, in particular Arcee. she says in the comics she was “forged male” but then wanted to have a girl body so she just reformatted herself. there are also enby transformers too, it’s a surprisingly queer series.
