DON'T "HEY GRANDMA, IT'S TIME FOR BED NOW" ME. I'M NOT YOUR GRANDMA.

DESTINATION FEES SHOULD NOT BALLOON TO MULTIPLE NON-WORKING 944s IN COST JUST BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO RAISE THE MAIN PRICE.

WE SEE YOU SNEAKING THIS IN WHERE YOU DON'T THINK BUYERS WILL NOTICE.

his plans for the site are "ban nazis" and "continue to stare into space with the same facial expression I've had since 1987"

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Goosebumps and The Giver, too?! Good grief. Goosebumps in particular blows my mind. That's most of what I read in elementary school.

I knew this would be stupid, but goooooood griiiiiiiief.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."  

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

this doesn't even feel like a job that exists at a livable wage anymore, much less for $250K

Raymond Skiles EDIT: Many ask how to help. I believe the Governor of Texas is best positioned to make a difference - If enough Texans ask. 800.843.5789. More contacts, Texan or not:...

Simply disgraceful. Landowners around Big Bend are still getting letters from CBP asking to take their land despite the presence of historical artifacts and despite the fact that huge canyons and other barriers make a natural "wall." Those lands need protection, too: www.facebook.com/raymond.skil...
