“At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome.” apnews.com/article/suic...

Wow I don't remember this one! This is great. I love Tim Meadows.

I'm lying in bed because I'm really not well but I can hear what sounds like a tree being taken down & chipped nearby. Ordinarily I'd go say goodbye, but I'm just not up to it, so I'll just say it from bed & hope the tree knows.

Unfair it was only like ten days

The sign painter is also listed in one census as a "vulcanizer."

Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Y'all are going to be regretting Platner when he's making Fetterman defections on votes like, IDK, wars.

My great grandfather & my great great grandfather & I think my great great great & who knows how many more were coopers. I think my great grandfather was doing barrels on shipboard for the rum trade or something that took him where he learned enough Spanish to seem exotic.

Honestly if I go in I get some bougie non-dairy chai or something like that. But I still have an affection for the donuts. The few shops down here just don't do it right.

My own kids no longer want to travel the world despite learning of some opportunities not because of having to leave, but because they fear as US citizens they would not be allowed back in based on their physical features. That’s absolutely asinine they have to think about these things.
