So, just in case it wasn't crystal clear enough what this is, one of the prisoners in the article asked if he could be sent back to Venezuela, and they refused.
My brother doesn't like work from home either, and I just don't get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.
I'm not stressed all the time; I don't have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I'll do for lunch. I don't have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.
But I've never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It's the one place where I can't control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually
The debate format is also the main place JD Vance's programing is designed to function. It forces equal weight for both sides, regardless of the validity of their points
Not like those poors, who can't be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There's the shitting on the poor part.)
This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed "foods."
RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.
I would definitely agree with the advocates for affordable housing saying that there should be some guarantees, but the bill's sponsor has already said he's considering that going forward. Otherwise, denser mixed housing around public transit sounds great. Bad look for party leadership
They'll just end up on sketchier sites that ignore the rule, or learn to use a VPN. Prohibition doesn't work
You're crazy if you didn't feel the tension between Archer and Shran
At this rate, she'll be a one term senator. I wonder if she's being set up to take the brunt of the anger people have for the democratic establishment. It definitely feels like there's pressure on Michigan from the national party. Whitmer has been talking about working with Trump, which seemed very out of character to me. Some of his goons tried to kidnap her only a few years ago
Surely the leopards will spare my face
Some of my coworkers definitely do this
Spongerobert is just his Earth name
I think "margins" might imply percentage, but I Am Not A Businessman. I would be interested to see a full cost breakdown. I bet they're saving on shipping! Lol
They almost doubled the price, but it cost them 3x more to make
If there's someone out there that hasn't heard about this case, I don't think they should be allowed on the jury either. They're obviously incapable of paying attention to anything
Definitely
Ah well, not surprising, especially since they did it once before lol
Especially since Target was known to be more progressive and minority friendly, at least with their marketing.
Are they? All I've ever heard about target before this is that they took down pride displays
Uber is neither the driver nor the passenger
For those wanting some insight into why this testing is so important, dairy companies used to add formaldehyde to milk, as a preservative, as well as pureed calf's brains, to dispose of them
The Musk business cycle: Musk's ego inserts him somewhere he has no business > he makes a ton of immediate, drastic changes, driven by ketamine, and posts about it online > the entire world laughs at him > he flounders for a few months > someone finally convinces him to step out of the spotlight a little > repeat
Spoons vs. Sporks
Howdy folks! I'm new to ADHD spaces, still in the process of getting a diagnosis, but I've been doing some thinking about how I handle energy for tasks, and I was wondering if it would resonate with anyone else.
My partner and I have cats, which means we have to clean their litter box regularly. I struggle a lot with executive dysfunction, and so does she, so sometimes that's challenging. Recently though, we cat sat for a friend that had a Litter Genie. I have to say, I love this thing. We bought one immediately. It's basically just a little trashcan, but it automatically bags and stores dirty litter to be disposed of later.
For me, this was a game changer. I don't know why, but not having to deal with throwing out the litter at the same time makes it so much easier. Individually, cleaning the litter boxes, and taking out the trash, are easy, one spoon tasks. But only with the Litter Genie. If I have to worry about taking out the trash too, it becomes so much more than just one spoo
What's something that's made you feel like a grown-up?
A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.
But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.
For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.
How about you?
The Apiarist
This is a personal creation, so I apologize if the name is already taken.
*1.5oz gin *1oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro *.75oz honey syrup *.5oz lemon juice
Shaken and served with an expressed lemon peel, and a dash of Hummingbird Bitters
We really should have seen it coming
More Expanse crossovers? Yes please!
He tries so hard because he doesn't want to be remembered as "the other Captain Ransom"

Orion Hurricanes for the Star Trek Lower Decks finale tonight
Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists
- 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
- .75oz Cinnamon syrup
- .75oz Lime juice
- .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
- .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
- 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)
Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

My first complete battle map
This is for an upcoming session this Saturday. I've never been the kind of person that's into drawing, but I'm GMing my own PTU campaign, and I hated making maps online lol
I've been practicing for about a week now, and I'm pretty happy with this little map.
The setting is a small cave, complete with giant mushrooms, crystals, and a pond, which served as the improvised "break room," for a couple of miners my players found the skeletons of at the end of the last session.
The use of Moopsies in warfare was banned in Middle Earth, after the battle at Isengard
The Captain's Blood
First cocktail made in my new bar! Just moved, and finally have it set up. Lots of decorating left for the new space though.
This is a basic twist on a Daquiri.
- 3oz Angostura 5 Year Caribbean Rum
- 1.5oz lime juice
- .66oz rich symple syrup (.75oz if you use 1:1)
- 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
Shake, double strain, and garnish with a lime wedge.
Corpse Reviver No.2
The ultimate brunch cocktail.
Equal parts gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice, shaken and served in an absinthe rinsed coupe.
I think this drink alone is enough reason to keep Lillet on hand. American Fifth is my local distillery; I highly recommend their spirits if you get the chance, but any absinthe will do here.
A Classic Sidecar
Mostly wanted to post because I feel like I did a really good job on the sugared rim lol
This is one of my favorite cocktails
1.5oz brandy .75oz orange liqueur .75oz lemon juice
Shake, double strain, serve in a glass with a sugared rim, and garnish with a orange twist. I expressed mine.
Not a reflection on meme quality, but on meme alignment
Maybe a little too meta, but I think we could use Dukat for memes specifically meant to express funny, but bad, opinions
Nuclear Daquiri in leaded crystal (for safety)
It's been a while, but I got some new glassware, and wanted to try it out. I felt like a Nuclear Daquiri was appropriate for leaded crystal. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my own tastes, I'll denote that below
- 1oz Overproof White Rum - Wray and Nephew
- .5oz White Rum - Plantation 3 Star (omit for basic recipe)
- .66oz Galliano (Green Chartreuse for basic recipe)
- .75oz Lime Juice
- .33oz Falernum
Shake and double strain, garnish however you like
