7) What is actually happening on ICE flights is already so bad! When you make shit up or “just ask questions,” you: a) Take the focus off real people who are SCREAMING for help about real abuses, b) Ignore actions YOU could be taking TODAY to try to relieve their suffering.
How do a pair of sneakers fall apart within a year when I only use them for walking? Am I new at this? I would only wear boots, heels, and stuff like sperrys until I decided I needed to get sneakers for walking around and these things are almost in shreds after barely a year!
a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

We're all seeing the Anthony Bourdain biopic instead of that weird romcom right?
APPLEBAUM: Russians starting to see how narrative of Russia’s greatness and Putin’s tremendous success confronts reality. They see Ukrainian drones hitting Russia, especially attacks on oil refineries, but now also Wildberries. Billions of dollars of commerce going up in smoke.
I’ve been reading Brooklyn Vegan almost daily for 20 years. Huge and unnecessary bummer by some very unlikable main characters. Hope they find a way to keep going.
Leor Galil@imleor.bsky.social · 14h ago“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”
I just realized the reason why I’m disappointed I need to keep my word count under 100k is because I regularly read more than that on AO3. Anything under that is light reading. 😂
Who still makes good belts? I got one at Banana Republic a few years ago for too much money and the leather was cracking before I left the store.
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
i read a lot of trash but it just keeps happening lol. like our noble mc is like "jesus wouldn't have agreed with you being shitty!" and everyone claps and im like mannnnn this is not the Objectively Correct view from nowhere you think it is
i find it very funny in fiction when authors have their heroes serve as mouthpieces for a True and Reasonable Viewpoint and it's just liberal christianity
I’m yammering in other people’s replies so I should put it in my own account. GWTW could have been the greatest American novel ever written. It’s not. Margaret Mitchell chose to be racist, her southern community encouraged this, and her northern publishers chose to publish it.

The shark is eating the fish that are the real problem. And that kid he ate was no angel. You must hate law enforcement if you think they wouldn’t have stopped the shark if it were a problem.
