@ArkansasBlog Have none of you read the story? They couldn't be bothered to put the correct name of THEIR OWN initiative on the signature pages. They also included part of another initiative all together. They gave this one to Jester on a silver platter.

You knew Cole Jester would find a way.

@olwestside My god - Karen Carpenter didn’t look that pitiful at her sickest. This is criminally negligent behavior by her “team” or family or whomever she has around her.

Oh-

@bmarsalis @SouthwestAir If I'm ever on your flight you can have my seat for your instrument case. Your saxophone's trip is more important than anyone else's. Sorry the gate agents are uncultured fools.

Dear, @SouthwestAir, one of your gate attendants denied me entry to the plane, saying my instrument case does not fit the overhead. Please have the baggage crew at MSY hold my luggage until I arrive in another flight later today. WN4692 Thank you.

@mattahertz @amazon I think it’s to stop email providers from scraping information to target ads. Which is a good thing.

Has anyone noticed @amazon's new delivery confirmation emails? They’ve shifted to incredibly vague subject lines like "Delivered: 1 Lawn & Garden item" or "Delivered: 1 Baking item" instead of actually telling you what arrived. Does this bother you too? I wrote about it in this morning's newsletter: logistics.beehiiv.com

@foxyavelli You’ve never gotten pantry moths then, have you?

Wtf drives people to move store bought food into reusable containers? Not only is it extra work to take it all out of the original packaging, you now have a bunch of dirty containers to wash every time

@Law_Hawg The prisons are FULL of cell phones. That’s why Josh Duggar just got shipped to the middle of nowhere to a more secure facility. Someone kept him supplied with cellphones.

How does an inmate have so much internet access?

@Law_Hawg Trump v Bill. If we’re dreaming.

Fuck it. Let’s do it. Obama vs. Trump in 2028.

@JessPected I had an ex-boyfriend that shot and killed his wife and then himself. She had two little kids from her first marriage. I broke up with him when he put his fist through a wall after his team lost a basketball game.

@ElsbethTalbot Yup! Would love to know the real rates of male suicides without the murder/suicides. We're being asked to grieve the men who murder us.

Not our problem. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Women dying by suicide to escape marriages vs men choosing suicide because patriarchy didn't deliver a promised slave isn't our responsibility to abandon our liberation. Maybe men should join women in rejecting patriarchy (& capitalism).

@OleMissRebel90 This is just rage bait.

This map never makes any sense. I’ve never known anybody in the South refer to all soft drinks as “coke”

@VintageRockN_85 Spirit in the Sky. Somehow both a timeless example of the music of a specific era.

“Choose 1” timeless Gem 🔥 #Classicrock •White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane •All Your Love - JM & The Bluesbreakers •Break On Through - The Doors •In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron butterfly •Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf •Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum

@Lady_FanAccount Lindsey doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the best producers in music history.

“The Chain” is from Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 masterpiece Rumours. The only track on the album credited to all five members, it is famous for its dramatic build-up and John McVie’s iconic bassline. Despite never being released as a single, the song became one of the band's signature recordings and even reached the UK Singles Chart (#94) in 2021 following a resurgence in popularity on streaming platforms and social media. The band pieced the track together from different demos recorded during the emotionally turbulent Rumours sessions, with the famous bass-driven finale bringing the composition together. That closing section later became famous as the long-running theme for BBC Formula One coverage from 1978 to 1996 and again from 2009 to 2015.

@Emotion78687 His account of the practice he did to perfect this dance is pretty good too.

This concert was unbelievable. He starts the whole show by walking on stage alone with a little cassette-playing boom box, hits "play", and the show never stops for two hours.

@Jacksonsrule @MsTMiller45 Don’t ignore the complicity of the tire manufacturers.

The real reason America has no high-speed rail has absolutely nothing to do with geography or technology. It is the result of a single lobbying contract worth $400 million signed in 1955. You are told the country is just "too big" or too spread out for bullet trains. That is a fabricated lie. The American automotive and oil cartels literally bought the government to systematically remove public transit. They ripped up existing rail networks and paved over the nation to guarantee people would rely on cars, insurance, and fuel just to participate in society.

@Limit_Its_Power @hell_line0 Whatever boomer . . .

I’ve talked to numerous millennials and younger. There are a lot of smaller homes that are within their budget. However they don’t want them because they’re either not their dream home or not in their desired location. This is what happens when everyone is given everything they want as a child

I’m afraid that when millennials get old and can’t work anymore, a lot of us are going to end up homeless. There was just no way to get ahead. We worked just to pay off debt, and for many of us, there was never a real opportunity to save or buy a home because everything was so expensive. I genuinely worry that we’re going to see an entire generation of elderly millennials struggling just to survive, and that’s heartbreaking.

The best part is that credit card I used- and the credit card that determined it was a fraudulent transaction and reversed the charge- was my Kroger Visa.

If someone else fraudulently creates and picks up a @kroger order using your Kroger account - and you dispute this and your credit card company reverses the charges - Kroger will block your account until YOU PAY FOR THAT OTHER PERSON'S GROCERIES.

@kroger I have been trying to straighten this out since 2023 and only today did I finally learn that Kroger wants me to reimburse them for the charge back, for groceries I did not get order or retrieve.

@folkloreemind This is a what Pandora was back in the day.

i wish spotify had a "songs you forgot about for some weird reason but trust me, you still love them" button

@AngelaBergGronk @Oma_Opa_Love_U @feralapricot Only 38 or so states in the U.S. actually have a dental school. What’s so hard to believe?

@Oma_Opa_Love_U @feralapricot Not even gonna try to look because I find that hard to believe

Dentist no longer has payment plans. They want to finance $1,600 root canal w CareCredit, a 32% interest Synchrony credit card. I'm on $900 Social Security & deliver pizzas to pay rent & eat. Cant afford insurance. Even pulling the tooth is $700. How's this a sustainable system?
