Seattle area folks! Need to move this chair quickly, will give a great deal. Some color fading from the sun, some cat claw damage on the front arms, very comfortable and sturdy. No stains or tears. 31 x 34.5 x 25.5
A boxy club chair with wood spindle legs in a dusty pink upholstery fabric. Same chair from the front. Front right arm that has two pulled threads and a bit of puckering from cat claws. Front right arm with more cat claw damage along the corner.

From personal experience: please don't file a chargeback, please just let me know you want your money back, there is a good chance that not only will I just give you your money back, but that I'll probably answer your email immediately in a way that makes you worry about my work-life balance

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

That's a very good point about the cartoon network and other leaks that I feel like is understated in all this Companies keeping all of their production materials so private that not even the people who worked on it can access it is 100% an anti-worker measure

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2
The evidence points to numerous failings on the part of both ICE and the officers
who testified, including:
1. evasive and apparently perjurious testimony by the ICE agents, including the
testimony concerning supposed observations of the petitioner engaging in drug
transactions, which bear all the hallmarks of coordinated fabrication,12 the absence of any recovered drugs, paraphernalia or cash from the petitioner,
the failure of the agents to follow up upon these supposed observations or refer
the matter to another law enforcement agency, and the notable absence of any
reference to these observations in the voluminous documentary records, further undermining the agents' testimony;
2. the seemingly reflexive, though false, claims that the petitioner was
"misidentified" as the target of the operation;
3. fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents authorities and duties;
4. illegality of the arrest and detention of petitioner and Concepcion;
5. the post-arrest documents, which not only were procedurally and legally
suspect, but contain false statements;Notably, in its filings, Government counsel has not referenced this testimony, seemingly abandoning any argument predicated upon these sworn assertions by the agents.

6. the database search process used to justify the administrative warrant, as
described by the ranking supervisory officer, which appears designed to generate misleading information in official records; and
7. the inexperience of the agents involved, their woeful lack of proper training, understanding of law, policies and procedures, and their ready recourse to false testimony to conceal these failings.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
