Hmmm...atheist, one sleeve, with some ideas brewing to start the next one. This checks out.

I don't know who will even see this, but a couple months after deleting my Facebook account, the websites that scrape, collect, and sell your data without your consent seem to have reverted back to my prior phone number and home address. I don't even remember giving FB my address.

Are the police doing anything about the murders occurring in their streets, or are just making public statements?

I'm glad I never got COVID while ivermectin was all the rave, but I was ready with my row of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. I was going to eat one a day and celebrate how great they made me feel and how they cured me, so they could see how dumb they looked. Not that they'd get it...

I hope everyone celebrating RFK's regression on the COVID vaccine enjoys a couple years of long COVID. When they complain, remind them that it's "not that bad."

So will everyone who tells the pharmacy, "yes," when they ask if you have one of the conditions that puts you at higher risk. They won't ask which one.

If we get rid of the second, there will be fewer people losing all of their amendments like Charlie Kirk. I like how she thinks, in that way.

They need to open up jobs so that they can infiltrate higher ed with conservative groomers rather than people who would foster critical thinking.

Miller-Meeks beat The Onion to the punch. Well done.

It should be an empty report. I'm guessing the protests are less "pro Palestine" and more "anti genocide/ethnic cleansing."

The federal administration is intentionally mislabeling the student activity while supporting and facilitating an ethnic cleansing.

Oh good, just a few more job cuts should fund this incredibly important endeavor. πŸ˜‘

They'll surely keep in place/well-staffed the systems designed to take our money. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Deliberate market manipulation to allow the "right" people to profit on everyone else's anxiety, insecurity, and misery.

Patriotism as an "educational" requirement is nationalism and a tool of fascism. What a bunch of sick groomers.

I swear, every fifth post on Facebook is someone fundraising for something. I probably need to follow other things or leave the platform altogether, but it begs the question: why are we (lower, middle class) expected to fund these things while the government talks about tax cuts for billionaires?

I hope they see this as an opportunity, then!

Watching Idiocracy. They thought it would take until 2330 for the federal government to be purchased. They also still had a Secretary of Education in 2505. They underestimated capitalism greatly.

The ole "we're invading parts of YOUR country sympathetic to us for a peacekeeping mission." How can we forget? We haven't and know he's full of crap.

Feels like the only thing standing between us and having to choose between Hobby Lobby and Amazon is Michaels.

I am generally not for using AI to create media that could be harmful to someone, but given the parties involved here, I'd let this one slide.

Agreed, but in the short term, it's a number he can put on his spreadsheet. They're only worried about making money right now, while the bag is in their hands. They'll worry about tomorrow's problem tomorrow; or let someone else do it and blame them.

Saving money by shifting costs to people bringing home $15k/yr in Social Security benefits. So great; so much winning. Hopefully fElon can afford another rocket now.

Why is it I imagine the audits for mee will still occur at the same rate, but the audits for thee will be even less existent? Thank goodness they'll still be there to find my $87 error from four years ago.

I should add, Cedar Rapids is not all that big of a city. Seventy-five of these cameras, always monitoring, is a lot.

Cedar Rapids police expanding use of Automated License Plate Readers The cameras read license plates of cars as they pass by, alerting police if someone they are looking for drives by.

Cedar Rapids, IA has put up 75 solar-powered license plate readers to help alert police of "people they're looking for." I suspect that if I were to attend certain peaceful protests, I would end up on a list. One casual observation: they're within reach of baseball bats. www.kcrg.com/2025/01/10/c...
