What’s the matter? Don’t you like me? I’m your girl?

I am so excited!!! I am so excited to show up in uniform, eat some hasperat, drink some bloodwine and see the D! Got myself a PIC season 3 uniform just for this.

Harvard is still 100% in the wrong here. Treating all speech critical of the Israeli state as antisemitism is not the same as hatred for the Jewish people.

Look Starbucks owes Peet’s everything. That company started off buying from Peet’s.

Like I said, just 1%. I should have said it wouldn’t be good if CPB grants stopped coming. I’m just more upset that the direct line of attack misunderstands what is really happening. These organizations are very important. To blatantly say Congress funds them isn’t just incorrect but potentially harmful to how other organizations that rely on outside money are treated.

Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

It’s a Bay Area company. They aren’t all over the U.S. According to a map on their website there are 286. Approximately 47.5% are located in the Bay Area.

Well they have been caught multiple times buying from slave labor farms in Brazil, buying from a farm with child labor in Guatemala and possibly contributing to the decline of commodity prices in 2019 (which was under a $1).

Does he know what a recession is? Genuinely asking. That would help understand this response.

Well it was already pretty bad when the U.S. flag became a co-opted symbol for hate.

 

I am looking for suggestions on how to tackle a large reading list (currently at 556). A big part (maybe smaller than I think) is a collection of Ann Rule, Stephen King and Star Trek novels (currently just the Pocket TOS and movie novelizations). The way I go about things is to just read whatever I am in the mood for. Makes it hard for me to keep a consistent reading progression. I do read by publication date.

I want to hear how others pick what to read. My current idea is to take a chunk of one selection and alternate with others in between.

 

On version 1.3.3, when adding an image to a comment without any existing text, the app crashes. If text is placed in the comment field, image being added will upload successfully with no crash.

 

Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.
