Aww, friend, hope your day gets better.

Uh-oh, precedent set.

Brutally accurate; beautifully horrific.

Good Christ,

Narcissistic, money-addicted psychopath with zero empathy.

Another POS liar.

Just throwing it out there: coders/tech engineers are rarely creatives, too. They see pretty much everything as numbers and productivity, and don't value people with other skillsets or talents.

A vigorous discussion followed, including many questions directed at Bezos. He confidently answered more during the lunch, of pecan-encrusted halibut, sliced steak medium-rare, patatas bravas and sautéed vegetables served on china emblazoned with the newspaper’s “WP” logo.

Would be good to know about the substance of Bezos’ answers to questions about his destruction of the WAPO newsroom, rather than the supposed “confidence” he may have conveyed. This piece offers far more detailed information about the lunch menu than what the “vigorous discussion” entailed.

A terrorist state enabled by Trump.

"There's one more thing..."

Just... wow.

Great thread.

The WH has plans for a 33k sq. ft. visitor screening center. What does that cost? Where’s the ballroom money? The library money? Meanwhile we’re spending ~$1B a day on a war in Iran while claiming the deficit needs to be “reduced” AFTER the OBBB added ~$3.4T-$4.1T through 2034

Sabulodes aegrotata Geometrid Moth come in a huge variety of colors: cream or pale yellow to ochraceous, brown or blackish brown & combinations thereof, also spots or no spots.

That said - hard to beat Dusty Rose as THE BEST color form!

IKR?

Yeah, we watched in horror as it happened. And everyone denying he was bent on ending our 1A and creating his own positive-feedback propaganda loop can fuck all the way off.

Hope every one of those POS grifters goes broke and out of business. The sooner their all of their toxic, plagiarist slop is eradicated, the better.

My year-old kitty, Squeezy, sits on the chaise that has a mountain lion quilt draped behind it. It looks like his wild ancestor is looking over his shoulder.

Total luck shot. Squeezy and his ancestor right behind him. Hubby had his phone near the bed (unusual) and awoke to this! #Caturday

I'd be thrilled to have a foxy squirrel pal. They're really sweet. 🥜🥜🥜

11-year-old arrested, faces charges in murder of 5-year-old brother An 11-year-old boy has been arrested and is facing a first degree murder charge in the death of his 5-year-old brother in Centennial, Colorado.

Speaking of fucked up kids...

"A five-year-old boy...was found dead at a home in Centennial, CO.... Investigators...believe that he was killed by his 11-year-old brother, who has since been arrested and is facing a first-degree murder charge."

Florida teens charged in alleged murder plot seen laughing in patrol vehicle following arrest Isabelle Valdez, 15, and Lois Lippert, 14 -- both students at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs -- were arrested in late January.

Some fucked up kids. JFC.

"The victim reportedly reminded Valdez of Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, and "she believed if she killed the victim, she would have a blood bond with Adam Lanza, which would resurrect him from the dead...""

His makeup is getting worse, impossibly. Is his physical appearance part of the “fascists lie not because they want you to believe them but to show they can lie with impunity” bit?
