no, she’s the wolf from a 4th or 5th century mosaic depicting the founding of Rome

The she-wolf who nurtured Romulus and Remus, depicted in mosaic form as a maniacal black dog with sharp teeth and white eyes.

My dog, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the maniacal mosaic wolf.

You know in your heart all houses are Grover, now if you’ll excuse me I need to figure out if this hole near the foundation is a burrowing animal or a leaking cistern causing subsidence and either way I’m stuffing firecrackers down that sucker

long road ahead for whichever neo-Nazi Trump staffer is tasked with doing brain surgery on the AI-powered America-dot-gov site

A screenshot from America.gov showing a question and answer about tariffs.

Header: America.gov with a small U.S. flag and a "Menu" button.

Question in a light blue bubble: "Who pays for tariffs on goods being imported to America, American importers or foreign exporters?"

Answer text: "U.S. importers pay the tariff to the government. Foreign exporters do not pay U.S. Customs.

• When goods enter the United States, the importer of record is legally responsible for any duty. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
• CBP collects that duty at the port of entry. CBP: customs duty
• A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Who ultimately bears the cost in prices (importer, U.S. buyer, or foreign seller) depends on the market; that is separate from who must pay CBP. BLS

Duty rates come from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. CBP makes the final determination of what is owed."

America.gov Menu Who in America is entitled to due process? The U.S. Constitution says the government may not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Fifth Amendment applies that rule to the federal government. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the same rule to state governments. Official annotations treat this as covering persons, not only citizens. Congress’s Constitution Annotated also notes that people already present in the United States—including those whose presence is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory—are entitled to due process protection in that setting. What process is required depends on the situation; that is decided case by case. Sources: National Archives; Constitution Annotated (Fifth Amendment procedure); Constitution Annotated (aliens who have entered).

restaurants are magical places because it's about the experience foodservice, on the other hand, is the last refuge of rogues and scoundrels. if I'm a restauranteur, and I plan to stay married so I'm not, someone offers you guaranteed volume at fixed margins I'm cashing that check

Well, every time somebody posts this, me & my drummer get tagged, so, preemptively: mountain goats are wild, majestic animals. The Mountain Goats are a band. Out of respect to our namesake, we do lick pee from rocks when we’re in a national park, but nobody ever airlifts us anywhere. We walk home

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.
