commercials while streaming an episode of a show is bad enough, but why must it be THE SAME COMMERCIAL every single commercial break??? simply based on how annoyed i am at the advertiser, i will NEVER buy their product

my biggest frustration with trump destroying everything is that he is able to destroy quickly while fighting the destruction through the courts takes months if not years like yes, everything can be reversed but why aren’t there mechanism in place to make destroying take as long as restoring?

i don’t know anything about Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, but dude seems like a coward to boast on a post but have comments and quote posts turned off

screen shot from mayor of London: Neighbourhood crime is down across London thanks to my record investment in the Met, the hard work of officers and prevention work by my London Violence Reduction Unit.

i was active duty air force when my daughter was born the day US landed in kuwait, aug 1st 1990 my children and grandchildren haven’t known a single day when the united states has not been actively engaged in war or armed conflict we should really be better. we don’t need to fight all the time

none of this would be happening, trump would not be president, the GOP would not control the house and the senate, if the people of the united states had collectively stood up for trans people sacrificing a vulnerable minority was a firm embrace of fascism and permission to continue it

Yesterday I woke up, drove to town for coffee and donuts. Came back and worked out in the yard all day THINKING IT WAS SATURDAY! It was actually Friday and I hadn’t logged into work, missed all of my meetings, and hadn’t requested PTO i felt like such an idiot
