Great idea. I have fresh spinach to use + eggs + cheese = dinner

@misslovelymess

Except the Raiders.

Who took a TE that they didn't really need.

Because, Raiders.

ByteDance says they'd rather shut down TikTok than sell it.

Interestingly, TikTok is not an app you can use in China.

@th3j35t3r never enough! 🏴‍☠️ 💕

^^^ (Too much??) 😂

Avast me hearties!

'oist all the flags an' laugh at the hoodwinking rapscallions over on HMS Google Play. Make 'em walk the plank for tryin' to shiver ye timbers! Keel haul to lot of them until their teeth itch. Tear off their ears and stuff them in their asses so they can hear us as we kick 'em.

H/T @MrGoat for this >>>

Understanding different subject-positions isn't easy work, and many people will suspect you of both-sides-ism for doing it.

But seeking to understand others protects you from two fallacies: straw man and incredulity.

Straw men are fun punching bags that tell you nothing useful about what you're resisting.

Incredulity lets you say "I can't imagine how anyone would naturally hold another POV"--& fill in the blank with conspiratorial conjecture.

Both leave us tilting at windmills.

i lost it 😂

Today in Genders Weirder Than The Ones Stigmatized By Right-Wing Politicians:

@Gambit_1 I hope they lose so badly that it ends up creating a precedent that actually *strengthens* the non-compete ban.

Non-competes should never, ever have been legal in the first place. They fly in the face of basically every capitalist economic theory out there, for one. They are BAD in every sense of the word; very bad for worker rights & very bad for the economy.

If you're gonna do capitalism (and to be clear, I don't think we should) at least do it properly, 'mkay?

@Gambit_1 @YouInMyEye so true, I ran into a srs addiction when I was working in coffee shops. As it turns out 7 lattes a day is a pretty expensive habit when you have to pay for them. Lol went back to drip coffee after that. Might have to go back to the lattes.

she's a what now?!?

Elon Musk – Dead at 52 – Says There Is No Need for Misinformation Laws

@YouInMyEye idunno, this has never happened before. Guess I switch to tea for a while. Normally if you start to build up a tolerance for stuff you just take a break for a while. But my brain is too adhd and handles stimulants like seditives or just won't let them work at all. So it's a constant balancing act. Too little coffee and I can't think, too much and I'm either falling asleep or I can see sounds. No in between. 😂

@Gambit_1 oooh that actually sounds like too much fun. I'd better avoid it 😉

The greatest respect that officials can show to our national symbols is to trust that they will be honored through choice. Whether in Hong Kong or in Louisiana, forced patriotism is no patriotism at all.

While a certain orange shitgibbon is gassing a courtroom in his sleep, Biden has updated Title IX to protect trans students, taken steps to make renewable energy a priority on public lands, and kicked off $7B in solar grants. #politics

@Gambit_1 💔🫂 now think about the stigma that those people that growed up there carries on their shoulders.
Many people would not separate the gangster to the regular person that was actually the victim. And they all get treated the same way...
Hope your kids are growing up in a safe happy environment as much as can be in such a hateful world.
