My favourite time of year: Working overnight and needing to watch my hours like a hawk so I get paid for the hour the machine will pretend never happened.

Little kid dressed as Batman walking around with his alive parents. What a poser.
"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." Can apply to multiple things.
the actual election scandal is the fact that the president of the united states is waging a whole of government effort against free and fair elections.
As oil companies rake in record profits while the backup oil supply for the nation runs low and prices rise, rest easy in the knowledge those oils companies got everything they paid for.
Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say
"This is a scandal" and "an indictment of the system" — but probably legal, one legal watchdog told POLITICO.

A tax on billionaires? What's next, other good things?
I often always remember this scene of Measure of a Man from TNG, where Picard realises the dire moral implications of the judgement over Data, and the way in which Patrick Stewart portrays the full weight of it. RIP
they will spend more time double checking your insurance coverage than the half time show
I went to Twitter HQ in San Francisco years ago & they had this in a framed triptych on the wall. ❤️
Its interesting to watch & compare different reactions to USA planning to attack iranian civilian infra to Russia actually attacking civilian infra. You won't make friends by pointing out a cognitive dissonance. But an appeaser's rage at learning they have one does not erase it either.
Today will be a good reminder for digital money that the regulations it hates so much and fights so hard against exist to protect both it and its users.
There was a moment in the 1990s when Newt Gingrich was sneering about public funding for the arts and said something like "Arthur Miller didn't need government money!" and then Arthur Miller wrote an op-ed noting that he had, in fact, been saved in the Depression by Federal Writers Project.

My prayer is that we all live long enough for politics to be boring again.
FIRST THE BREWERS WON AND NOW I CAN KILL JACK!?! (metaphorically)
If the strategic oil reserve is almost empty and Whiskey Pete keeps firing the top brass, how much more of either oil or intelligence can we lose before someone finally decides maybe some treason is afoot?
Maybe Trump got $10K per person near the data centre and his decaying brain can’t tell the difference.
You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.
Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."
I'm enjoying a rapid rise to power thanks to the favor of the capricious monarch. And the best part? Being secure in the knowledge that I will never fall from grace
Does Internet Hippo feel vindicated, now that the President has publicly declared what Hippo has been saying for years?
Reporters should ask him to name his kids. Bet he forgets a few and inadvertently reveals the existence of a few more.
[spooky voice] Abdul El Sayed will use SHARIA LAW to take rights away from WOMEN. [upbeat voice] We should use Christian law to do that
Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
Had to do it this way because my character limit is so small.
