CBP added smart watches and SIM cards to the searchable devices list. Hell, if I had a pacemaker, I’d try to leave that at home

Said it several times on here already: America has an β€œI” disease.

From the image: β€œThe majority of the world can burn for all I care, as
long as I get my homeland back.”

Maybe they can tell me which Bible they’re using, β€˜cause it sure doesn’t agree with mine.

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

This FCC does not have the authority, the ability, or the constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for speech the government dislikes.

Free speech is the foundation of our democracy, and we must push back against any attempt to erode it.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Marketing people? Are these the ones who for upgrade notes have made improvements to the space-time continuum and drank coffee, all while wanting us to fall in love with their totally redesigned interface (meaning I’ll never find anything again on their app)?

Recently spotted new packaging - Zesta Original with a little blurb on top saying β€œnow with improved flavor”.

Anyone try these? Are they as bad as the restaurant style?

Little bit off the beaten track, but not sure where else to put this.

Saltine crackers

Specifically, Zesta Saltines.

That was spouse’s favorite, as in nothing else would do. In the last year or three, different packaging showed up in the aisle - restaurant style. Yuck is putting it politely.
