After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

I tabled a petition from Canadians fed up with chronic CRA service failures—especially seniors, rural residents & those without internet. They’re calling for restored in-person help, more staff, fixed tech issues & faster service. Canadians deserve accessible, reliable CRA support.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

I’ve mentioned this before, but on time we had a troll influx, a lot of them posted AI, so I saw a lot of their posts while doing @aimod.social labeling. Lots of accounts with nasty replies to “blocked post” abandoned their accounts within weeks and even days. The non-blocked ones kept trolling.

Aghast at Father's insinuation that they may need a bath
Two dogs, one borzoi and one lab cross, lay snuggled together on a leopard print blanket,  facing the same direction. They look at their dad offscreen to the right, who has just told them they're stinky and need baths. They are both giving him bombastic side-eye of horror at this heinous idea. The borzoi especially looks distressed.
