REPOST or SHARE TO YOUR STORY to help make Teri's dying wish come true & find Sam & Rebel their forever home & While buying cat food at Petsmart this weekend I met a sweet old man named, John. He approached me with this flier & emotion in his eyes & asked if I could help or knew anyone who could help give these sweet bonded babies a new home. Their owner recently passed away and it was their dying wish for family to find them a new safe & loving home. My heart breaks for these angels as I'm sure they are suffering & grieving the loss of their hooman ® I can't have any more pets and so I offered to share his flier on all my social media in hopes that one of you are looking to rescue & grow your family this holiday season... Or... that many of you might share this to help find Sam & Rebel their forever home

My Continuing Finnish Education:
It is a compound word made up of:
• Pieru = fart
• Purkki = jar, tin, or can
Contextual Meanings
Depending on how it is used, it can refer to a few different things:
1. A novelty/gag toy: A sound effect machine or pranking device that makes flatulence noises (similar to a
Whoopee cushion).
2. Slang for a vehicle: In colloquial
Finnish, it can be used affectionately or mockingly to describe an old, small, or loud car with a rattling

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Every year that Earth, Wind & Fire song takes over the internet and AM/FM radio, where stations have played it for 48 years. Here's what most people don't know: when "September" airs, the songwriters get paid. The musicians who made the record don't.

Tim Hornbacker's statement on why he is running for Ohio State house District 40. #Hornbacker
Why I'm Running
I'm running because democracy requires a choice.
As a lifelong Democrat and frequent poll worker, I've watched too many voters walk into the voting booth only to find a blank space where there should have been a candidate. Every election, I found myself asking the same question: if we believe in representative government, why are we leaving entire communities without a choice?
I'll be honest: I started this campaign to fill in one of those blanks. But after meeting so many of my neighbors across District 40, it's become about so much more. It's about giving working families a voice, standing up for our communities, and proving that public service is still about listening, showing up, and solving problems.
I'm not running to build a political career or make grand promises. I'm running because every voter deserves a real choice and a representative whose life has been spent serving others. That's the same spirit of service
I'll bring to Columbus.

Brilliant and disturbing from Jeet Heer, The Nation, Sept 202 "As Blake reported, Andrew Tate’s unabashed- ly abusive actions had strong support from many MAGA luminaries: ...If a feminist wanted to insult MAGA, she might say Andrew Tate is the ultimate embodiment of right-wing masculinity."
"When Tate was arrested on human-trafficking charges, his allies defended him. Donald Trump, Jr., called the case "absolute insanity," and [Elon] Musk suggested that the authorities were targeting the Tates while ignoring "actual sex trafficking." [Tucker] Carlson, who had just released a documentary called "The End of Men," devoted hours of airtime to proclaiming Tate's innocence; so did the right-wing podcaster Candace Owens. The activist Charlie Kirk praised him onstage. "What he says is so powerful," Kirk said. "Our society is configured towards collapsing the American man."

The Al industry is pouring $140 million into elections to buy a Congress that will work for them, not us. Call your member of Congress and tell them to reject Leading the Future and stand up to the Al industry.
Leading the Future is an Al super PAC funded by some of the biggest names in the industry. Its backers include: OpenAl President Greg Brockman, a 16z partner Marc Andresseen, and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.
Not only are these Al billionaires spending millions of dollars to prevent Congress from regulating their technology, they are also some of the biggest supporters of the Trump administration. Brockman and Andreessen have donated millions to Trump's super PAC MAGA, Inc. and Lonsdale's company Palantir provides much of the surveillance technology that enables Trump's deportation agenda.
