The Michelin Man’s Sinister Origin Story
Michelin’s iconic roly-poly man of tyres started life in the 19th century as a slightly sinister figure
Michelin's getting a lot of attention, with its statewide expansion in Colorado. A few fun facts:
* Bibendum is The Michelin Man's actual name
* He was inspired by a pile of tires that looked like a man
* This poster tells us he drinks the nails that cause flats

With conflicts escalating daily, please check on your Muslim friends in your communities. What we just saw with Mayor Mamdani today is just the start of the rhetoric from white bigots.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say
Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation
“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

Denver Pridefest will take place on 16th Street this summer -- one day only Sunday June 28th -- given that Civic Center Park will be unavailable. With Colfax torn up, the Sunday parade will once again travel 17th Ave. Also, sponsors will be reviewed for their ties to war/defense.

Ron Jeremy. Oh man, I think this one should have some fun comments! Did you know alt text helps people who are blind, have low vision, or struggle to interpret images access essential meaning when visuals aren’t usable? Also, it’s great for jokes! I know full well who the person is in the photo, and that I've added the bio of a different person entirely. It's a gag about people having a vaguely similar name, which I can mix up in a comedic way. Some people hate these, but you’re reading this so I hope you’re a lil entertained?
Celebrating a birthday today; Ron Howard, born March 1, 1954, the former child actor who became one of Hollywood’s most respected filmmakers. From The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days to directing the Oscar‑winning A Beautiful Mind, his six‑decade career continues to shape modern storytelling

washington post push alert saying "Trump's attack on Iran risks alienating war-weary supporters", I crossed out alienating war weary supporters and wrote "killing people"
not everything needs to be viewed as a meta political story on polling. humans are dying.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

Just a little reminder that post policing sucks. No one is the arbiter of what is and is not okay to post or discuss, no matter what is happening in the world.
People are allowed deal with the horrors in their own way, in their own time, without being shamed.

“The righteous mission for which they gave their lives…” spoken by a slurring septuagenarian from his private resort in Palm Beach. A man so weak & morally bankrupt he hides out in Florida instead of facing a nation he has lead into infamy & rot. The worst POTUS in any lifetime.
