You ever write so hard you catch a cramp? I’m trying to finish this journal article and this Charley horse bulged out of my leg and I screamed so loud I damn near woke up my entire family.

Before there was social media, there was the Foley Onlooker. I’m just using my library access to read about my socialite great grandmother and all her business.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

There's gotta be a top down order to stop texting purchased lists because it doesn't matter if your candidate uses the data or sold it, the whole party stinks of constant text spam. Surveillance and data privacy could be winning issues for Democrats but not if they sell our info to other campaigns.

One reason to learn about things outside your major is so that you have something to talk about with people at parties and on dates. No amount of money will make up for you being a crushing bore. History majors learn this early but I guess it takes other people longer.

“Technology is advancing at a pace that can be difficult for our legal and judicial systems to keep up with,” said Jefferson County Sheriff Mac McNeill. In August, he said he would remove Flock cameras from county roads.

The local sheriff ended his county’s Flock partnership, just hours after Governor Ron DeSantis ditched the technology. They’re part of a growing group of GOP leaders turning against Flock.

the fascists want you to be tired and world weary and punchy and constantly thinking about them and their machinations and one of the best things people can do is simply not pay these fuckers any mind for a few hours, and yes that includes not always reading about how to beat them
