My thoughts on data centers
Sign saying: Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Keep fucking off until you get to a gate with a sign saying "you can't fuck off past here"
Climb over the gate. Dream the impossible dream. And keep fucking off forever.

I lived through it too. Final vote 52-48. It looks like 9 Dems voted to confirm, but 47 of the no votes were Dems. (Assuming my quick count was right) 47 Dems did the right thing as opposed to 1 R. Keep blaming Democrats tho👍🏻
Clarence Thomas confirmation vote. 52-48.

Great new puzzle from my son! After you finish it, you rearrange the sections and then get out the bonus pieces to fill the middle.

I just watched a video that showed this image was taken from a comedy post about a dad "arresting" his toddler. Please be careful about believing unsourced images, particularly if they provoke a strong emotional response.

Two days of this weather at our beach location. (65 degree highs and constant, Gusty winds) We leave today and it will be 72 degrees and sunny. 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least the food was great and the wine plentiful.

Honestly, Black men in this demo had the worst turnout. Thinking that whatever percentage that group is of the 12 percent of all eligible Black voters would be election altering seems like a reach.
