Imagine a world where the top priority of the police team (not “force”) was to help and support the people. “Help” includes stopping confirmed bad guys but also includes finding the homeless a safe place to sleep.

Send all police trainees to social work school.

What a world that would be.

AI has made memes incredibly low effort. I miss the days of shoddy photoshop and copy-pasted pixels. The shittiness of the imagery emphasized the sarcasm in a way that I cannot explain.

Everything is falling apart on earth and in my country and I don’t know how to fix it.

I used to tutor Saudi international students in English. Their apartments always smelled of oud smoke. I loved it. It smelled clean, rich, and almost poetic. When one friend returned to his home and family for the summer, he brought me back a little gold box of oud chips. I still have it.

I associate oud with friendship, especially vital friendships across cultures and nations.

I genuinely hope they’re successful in saving the wild trees.

Why is a victim’s statement being posted on Twitter by the government? Why is the government using Twitter like it’s a legitimate platform?

That’s because the sugar industry won’t let them.

Yeah, I operate on this assumption entirely. I’m pretty sure there was a book published about this idea in the 80s and it was widely read among political leadership.

I….did not realize they were NOT classified as wildlife. Of course they’re wildlife. You can certainly pen up elk and make profit off of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same as cows or chickens.

Edit: also, like, they’re native to this land as wildlife, while cows and other domestics were imported??

I didn’t realize that Coors, the beer, funded the start of the Heritage Foundation.

The beer is shit, but now I know that the entire company is also shit.

I was introduced to this gin on a trip to Canada years ago. I still have a bit left. I wish I could find it in the USA.

 

This is just horrifying. 6 different agencies, including Health and Human Services, which only deals with healthcare not education, are tearing Maine apart. This isn’t rule of law. I don’t have words.
