I'm poor so I buy generic sharp cheddar. Yesterday I inadvertently bought Tillamook sharp cheddar. Omg I'd forgotten. Life is short. Buy the good cheese. 🧀

This is wild. I'm an only child and I don't understand sibling dynamics, but I have 3 kids and I would be mortified if they all thought one was my favorite.

I feel this. I now find myself with an international practice, but stuck at Indiana rates. And then my heart bleeds for certain clients and the rates get even lower.

NEW: Statement from Christa Pike's lawyers: ”Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. ... Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.” www.lawdork.com/p/the-big-pr...
Statement from Christa Pike's attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN
Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee
Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.
Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

Huge bummer when you’re just innocently trying to join and promote a movement that hates Black people, immigrants, and Jews — but then you discover that they have a dark side. apple.news/A9g-feRPSTme...

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I give advice for a living and I am here to advise as follows: if you're thinking of paying extra for a hotel because you have a virtual hearing and you think the higher price means better wifi, your wifi will suck no matter what and you should just do the cheaper room. Like and subscribe for more

The mother of a USNA midshipman was detained by ICE AT HER GREEN CARD INTERVIEW and is now being held in a concentration camp and I find it insane that people don’t understand how THAT is a bigger national security threat than any undocumented immigrant.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

More brain drain: “Twenty-one universities in Canada announced on Thursday the hiring of dozens of researchers to join their top academic ranks, poaching the majority of the recruits from the United States. Of the incoming 64 researchers, 48 will leave American campuses…”

85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator. He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world. As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever #Resist

I would say that domestically trump has not consolidated authoritarianism to the extent his worst critics feared, but in foreign policy his record has been exponentially worse than anyone was talking about, short of actual nuclear war. (still a possibility!)

When this era of extreme xenophobic stupidity is over, I hope that we can rethink what it means to be a free human being on a big, beautiful planet, and that our kids wonder why we ever made it so damn complicated for ourselves to move from place to place.
