Wesley Morgan@wesleymorgan.bsky.social · 16h agoAll the other logos behind Jennifer Hegseth at the military families initiative announcement are like, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the 101st Airborne, the Special Forces, MARSOC. And then there’s Delta Force’s semi-official semi-secret insignia that they don’t wear on their uniforms
That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

How Curious! A Coal Mine in Cranston - Online Review of Rhode Island History
I wonder if the strollers and shoppers at Garden City Center are aware that beneath those trendy shops and eateries there was once an active coal mine. Granted, the coal ... Read More

unless you really dig (and sometimes you can't get all the info), we all assume that the land on which our houses are built were just woodland or pasture before that but that's naive.
i bought a no trespassing sign and shoved it in the ground behind my garage because, according to the neighbor behind me who sent workmen back there without asking, i'm "a bitch".
an article about the history of garden city without ever mentioning that it is built over a former coal mine is whitewashing at the very minimum.
one of my front beds is just french marigold, shasta daisies and dill.
i got halfway through season one of silo and it's just really pretty awful. i need a life boat, i am jumping ship.
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

I’m seriously concerned this pushes Miller to greater, perhaps lethal, violence. Abusers who have to feel consequences love to blame their victims for those consequences. I hope whatever custody he has is closely supervised.
most people have NO CLUE about divorcing an abuser with whom you have a child. the attorneys, guardians ad litum and "forensic psychologists" that specialize in fathers getting custody and smearing the mother for wanting to protect the kids. amber heard, blake lively but with kids.
whyyyyyy does a neighbor always stop to chat when i am wearing my worst bra??
🚨 Last call for George, now under kill command. Owner had him removed b/c bit when owner cleaning George's ears pushed tool too deep & hurt him; George has never bit b/f. Been w/ owner since a puppy. House/ crate-trained, good leash-walker, knows cues, shy, cuddly, wiggly, bouncy. 2nd best behavior.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Christ guy says “normalize praying in public” and people instantly reminds him that Muslims famously pray in public and Christians don’t like that
vent post : 1) the neighbor behind me had surprise power washers on my property, spraying her garage with bleach. they were preparing to paint. i objected to the mess in my garden so they just left.
They want to kill everyone over age 45 and force the 14-45 yo's to work as their serfs.
