It shouldn't be this easy for anyone - companies or hackers - to do things like this. Because if they can do it at a store, they can other places too, including your home. Please stop connecting everything to the internet/apps.

I’m a big fan of the onion, but this piece has always been a little weird to me because most Indigenous People don’t support Columbus Day and actually fought pretty hard against it. and we can ask for one day in addition to landback.

Beautiful use of our quote function with the translation and the original language so you can get a sense for the language

Herrera’s poem in the anthology mentions flowers and birds that enrich life in the city.

Translation

Birds that fly and flutter freely,
Perched upon the branches of trees,
Singing and calling each other joyfully,
Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! All day long.

Oh, my beloved City of Zamboanga,
City of Flowers, they call you.
At night, many birds can be found,
Sitting on wires, that’s what they do.

Herrera’s poem in the anthology mentions flowers and birds that enrich life in the city.

Original Quote

Maga pajaro que ta vola-vola,
Na maga rama de pono ta queda,
Alegre con uno y otro ta grita-grita,
Twit! Twit! Twit! Entero el dia.

Mio pueblo Ciudad de Zamboanga,
Ciudad de Flores que llama.
De noche mucho pajaro ay columbra,
Na maga cable de corriente ta esta.

Unless Management start to negotiate seriously I will shortly be part of the longest strike in the history of UK higher education. Goldsmiths UCU; “the university has not run a deficit for five years.” If Goldsmiths is not in deficit, how come they need to cut so many staff…?

My HOA once charged me $75 because my trash can was visible from the street for approximately six minutes. So now I use the anonymous form on their website to report myself for having grass that's too long. Sandra has to walk all the way over with a ruler and measure it once a week. It's important to stay involved in your community.

I should add here: I think one of the reasons it appeals to Mom is that she's impulsive af. So it comes to mind and she's like YES this feels good and doesn't think further, she and my dad are both impulsive in different ways. But we can't be impulsive here.

Even if you don't count rampant racism, antisemitism and misogyny as, you know, "big things" that matter to you personally, X is still a dumpster fire plagued with bots and bought-off blue check scammers that's being run by a white nationalist billionaire. Denial doesn't make any of *that* untrue.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

Contempt findings are rarer still. Lawyers getting jailed for contempt is even more uncommon - you really really have to work to pull that one off. The administration has burned through its goodwill. It's basically being treated like any other litigant right now.

I want to add one more thing to this - Y'all, real courts aren't like movies or TV shows. Getting punished for contempt is a lot less common than you would think, even in fairly blatant cases and even in private party litigation. Sanctions are rare, at least outside discovery disputes.
