I used to wait at the bus stop in the winter at 6am when it was still pitch black out.
It would be light before the bus got there and dark again within two hours of getting home.
This was in Minneapolis, but I lived in the south side while going to a specialized program at North High, the other side of the city, so it wasn’t typical.
That means they aren’t very valuable even in recycling. Starbucks would not ignore a potentially reliable revenue stream.
Since headlines can’t identify individuals anymore for some reason…
“Marshan Camese, who goes by Nola tha Progressive on TikTok…”
I’d also like a pony, while I’m dreaming.
Calvin & Hobbes reference appreciated.
I looked it up out of curiosity, and in 2024, New York City provided 1.35 trillion of the state’s 2.3 trillion dollar GDP.
And some men wonder why some women would choose a bear.
Holy shit that is every comment from you.
Fair point, I was ignorant of their weekends. But I was also considering that their society has been in disarray during protests for months.
Even that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be school.
I still distrust news that comes from any of the regimes at play here.
And any deaths of civilians would be tragic. Of course if a school was indeed hit that would be a horrific thing.
After months of protests, I truly doubt a bunch of girls were at school on a Saturday.
Just like the US said Iraq was removing premature infants from respirators in Kuwait. Bullshit.
Just like Israel said Hamas was beheading babies. Absolute nonsense.
It’s meant to generate rage first and foremost, to dehumanize the enemy.
War is dehumanizing enough.
I do not trust Iran one bit. Iranians, maybe. They’re the ones suffering here. But the regimes at play here can all get fucked.
The literal fun police!
We are very lucky there.
Our youngest cat, Maryjane, is the enforcer. Any new animals in the house get hassled by her until they meet her standards.
Doesn’t matter how unruly the dog is, she will patiently hiss and bat at them until they chill a bit.
I often think of myself as a fuckup, especially lately as I am unemployed.
But when I look at my life honestly and with open eyes, I know I am a decent person who has grown and tried to make up for my past wrongdoing.
And I don’t know that there is much else to ask from anyone except that alone, to continue to try to grow and be better in some ways.
I can always beat myself up with would’ves and could’ves, but I can’t redo.
The only chance I have to do things differently is now.
Or… this is the crime they have the actual evidence to prosecute.
There was a ravine out back of my house in Ohio in the early 80s.
We had a ton of fun cleaning it up and exploring up and down the creek. There was a shale cliff nearby and we would snap off pieces and skip stones.
Solid memories of free time in the local wilderness when I was a tot.
‘Elder statesmen.’
I’m hoping it’s to run for president, but that is likely just hopium.
I’m just here to say that “We’ve never seen this level of surveillance” is a weirdly hilarious thing to say.
Not saying this isn’t a horrible situation at all, just giggled at that.
Okay, Kramer.
I hate having to drive in the snow.
I love getting to, especially when it’s fresh, fluffy stuff, undisturbed in an empty parking lot.
They’re all doubleplusgood.
