Please read to the end. This is what happened to Twitter, too the GOP. And can happen anywhere if you don't learn the "Lesson of the Bartender"

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

Maybe we can even win the contest and get them to pay us in gold doubloons. We already have a pirate in @xochiptx.bsky.social

It’s big in Japan, they make square melons. I’ve seen other fruits and vegetables moulded in Brazil.

That’ll do it. Some guy gave me a C-note to get him over the 59th St Bridge in under 5 so I sped on that side lane. The potholes were insane. My cab had lost all its bushings and the shocks were shot. Funniest shit ever 🤣 I told him to close the windows so he didn’t pop out into the east river.

Food delivery. Travel websites. Concert tickets. When companies charge hidden fees at checkout, it can cost families thousands of dollars a year. Starting tomorrow, those mysterious fees are banned in Minnesota.

Birds found only in Hawaiʻi are threatened with extinction due to avian diseases carried by invasive mosquitos. This film sheds light on this critical problem and efforts to not only protect more native bird species from extinction but also to preserve Hawaiʻi's ecosystems. youtu.be/VyjpOFqd7DM?...

He’s known about Clarence for decades. I don’t know if they’ve known to what extent it was, but I find it hard to believe that he didn’t know.

Oh, I saw a ton of those when I was rummaging around. There are some things that really should not be plugged into a battery charger, especially heat related appliances.

I have a phone charger that I can adapt to other things with the USB, I got it on Fiver years ago, and it’s a little bigger than a lipstick. That thing is so good and cheap, I keep it with me all the time.

I drove livery, but I also had a couple of old Fleetwoods, not sure their length, but I once broke down in the left-hand turn lane onto the Brooklyn Bridge. That was fun 🤣 Anyone that can drive in Manhattan deserves a good pat on the back and driving a limo is no joke.

I happen to think melon is a great idea, we have to investigate this further.

How does he know Johnson didn’t cheat? This sounds more like an attaboy for not getting caught cheating. Only his wife can define what that means to her. Does being turned into a human glory hole count? Duggarvision? Swinging like the Falwells? Where does she draw the line or turn a blind eye?

The departments of treasury and state announced sanctions against Russia and Iran today for interfering in the 2024 election. There are already indictments. Will Trump reverse the sanctions and dismiss the indictments? I’m certain he will.

I’m not much of a beer drinker anymore, but I would love to taste that. I wonder if any of the breweries up here in Santa Fe have it?

New Mexico is a Blue ass kicking state. Unfortunately we are a small state that was finally on its way up with a lot of resources about to be pillaged. We need our Reps to defend us and the land. I hope we find a way to stay on this trajectory.

I love Silver City. I wish I could go down there more often. Covid wiped out all the work/partnerships I had going down south, with many of my contacts shifting jobs. Makes it hard to cover the expenses associated with spending time in those areas. #NewMexico #offthebeatenpath #Gila #SilverCity

Silver City is a treasure of the American West, founded as a mining town in 1870. It became a vital hub for the mining camps in the Gila.
