Self-described “gay furry hackers” breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as “degenerate perverts” who would face God’s punishment and the FBI.
A buddy of trump's has prepared a list of hundreds of Americans he will arrest for criticizing trump, including elected officials, J6 Cte witnesses, etc., using a 75000 member special military force. www.nj.com/politics/202...
Bleh. It's finally cooling off at 9pm...
Next few days will be dreadful though. House full of pets, no a/c here, and I'll be at work the next three days - with no way to help mitigate the heat in here for them.
Leave the cats a large bowl of ice when I leave I guess.
THAT is awful! Jesus.
I'm trying to figure out how to navigate *our* heat in my apartment the next few days with several pets, and no a/c.
+37°c is insane though. 😳
imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists
A bunch of Christian nationalists will now re-write OK's social & history studies. State Superintendent Ryan Walters said the new approach will “ensure ...will inspire in students a love of country and a proper understanding of the American founding.” www.kjrh.com/news/local-n...
I think a lot about the days the streets were littered with internet. Companies mailed everybody the brand new internet on silver discs and they were the most worthless trash anyone had ever seen. When did we lose our way and pick this detritus back up from the gutter.
The Israeli military has expanded its evacuation order to the whole of Gaza City after sending tens of thousands of Palestinians fleeing from several of the city’s neighborhoods earlier this week.
This is from today. IDF expels the entire population of Gaza city - orders them to go to Dir al-Balah.
That's the tens/hundreds of thousands who stayed behind in previous "ordered evacuations".
Those are totally traumatic experiences. Or can be, at least.
My mom had a shitty job once; it literally gave her agoraphobia for almost 5 years.
Being bullied/abused is very traumatic for kids.
Give yourself space. (Unless that was undetected snark? lol)
I spent the morning uncomfortably warm, and sort of panicky.
I just took a bracingly cold shower. That was a good plan.
No clue how I will survive this week... (maybe several shockingly cold showers?)
One of the same guys just asked me again when I went to grab some food, so I barked no at him, and called the Street Patrol (*non police patrol) to come tell him to fuck off.
Dude didn't remember me buying him a joint two hours ago. 🤬
Just the shittiest situation.
'I'm mentally unwell... I need a joint.'
Yeah, me too! I came and took this low paying, low hours job so I could afford the joints *my* mental unwellness requires. On a PT/min wage position.
Why should I be paying for your joints, exactly? 🤔
Ugh.
And I say this as a part time, minimum wage employee, who just spent $5 buying some stranger a joint so he would get out of my store and stop asking me dumb questions.
Stop. Seriously.
It sucks how many people come into weed stores expecting free weed. They will straight up ask us if we have any free joints.
No. Of course we don't have any free joints... not only is that illegal, it would cost us a fortune.
What other retail stores do you expect free products from??
A Saudi Arabia court has sentenced a man to 20 years in prison on charges related to his tweets.
Yet another outrageous, decades-long sentence demonstrates that the Saudi authorities are willing to crush any and all dissent.
All this week, I'll be staying up until 4am to run fans, swapping out the hot air of the day from my apartment with the cooler night time air, and then, closing all the windows to avoid the heat / humidity of the next day.
