Update: So we're going for a house that has said decorative fireplace. At least the realtor for the listing was honest and didn't try photoshopping in some fire.

Growing up, I my schools never made any kind of observance about day 100. My kids go to different schools and each school makes a big deal out of it now, and they're schools near where I used to attend.

A typical school year is 180 days, why did they start making a big deal out of 100 days? It's past the half point, which I think would be more of a milestone than some arbitrary number picked out because it happens to be the first third digit day.

The skin of your laundry pods dissolve in the washing machine, right?

They dissolve into microplastic.
And wastewater treatment systems have no way to filter that out so the microplastics go straight into streams and the ocean.

Just pour your laundry soap out of a box or bottle.

In her latest unhinged rant, Nikki Haley now says "Texas can secede if that's what it's voters want."

Okay, let's do the math on that.

If Texas secedes:
•Texas loses $68.2B in Federal aid
•GOP loses 2 US Senate seats, Dems lose 0
•GOP loses 27 US House seats, Dems lose 11
•Dems win permanent control of US House, US Senate, & White House

MAGAs never think these things through, do they? They don't care about the Constitution or national unity—only uninhibited power.

Vote GOP Out Permanently.

Why are real estate listings allowed to photoshop in actively burning fires in the fireplace if it has been declared decorative and sealed/capped by the homeowner?

OH HELL YES!

Jon Stewart, who during his 16-year run as host of the Comedy Central program established it as an entertainment and cultural force, will return to host the show each week on Mondays starting February 12, Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios announced Wednesday.

That awful feeling when you come home from visiting your young grandson and realise that you didn't give him his nose back before you left.

In 2020:
I ditched Facebook and really didn't feel the desire to replace it.

In 2023:
- I ditched Twitter for Mastodon/Threads/BlueSky.
- I ditched reddit for lemmee

I only keep my old accounts open to prevent impersonation scam, and not much else.

I regret nothing.

Just remember that even if you were just a drop in the ocean.

You are still the ocean.

Let's hope the pattern continues 🤗

““The GOP winner of the Iowa Caucus shouldn’t get too excited. The last four winners failed to win the general election.”

🤔 Then why did she find it necessary to change her name to Nikki?

What was the chief reason the Confederate states left the Union, and before you answer it was states rights - states rights specifically to do WHAT?

“Big Win”

Let's put the #IowaCaucuses in perspective.

-2,083,000 registered voters in Iowa
-718,000 registered Republicans
-102,000 voted
-53,219 voted for Trump
-7.4% of possible GOP votes went to Trump

Although its disappointing that 53K Iowans voted for him, I wouldn't use this as a statement about the general election.

Today Alice Paul would be 138. The Equal Rights Amendment, which she wrote more than 100 years ago now, remains merely a *proposed* amendment.

138.

100 years.

It’s annoying that Facebook Marketplace and Groups make you use your real name and profile. I don’t need to make a real human connection with the person I buy a used desk from, and I don’t need Facebook overseeing all my interactions across all facets of life. Can we get back to anon usernames?

Nikki Haley:

-Said Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill “doesn’t go far enough”

-Would sign a federal abortion ban

-Pledged not to "expand Medicaid ever”

-Proudly called herself a “union-buster”

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking she’s some moderate alternative to Trump.

? Has the audience but staying on financially supports anti-semitism of the owner who admits he loves trolling liberals, and is the only place on major social medias that "cisgender" is considered a slur.

? Zuck has long supported keeping hateful and misleading right-wing propaganda on their networks.. and you'll be blocking mass amounts of porn accounts adding you as follows for spam.

Yeah, is more of a no brainer.

I wish more people would have accepted Mastodon than Threads as the alternate to go to after Twitter. Mastodon is better.. I guess they'll come here after Zuck turns that into an ad infested hellhole like Facebook, too.

Dear religious people,

Please allow regular people to live unimpeded by your bullshit.

Thank you,
James
