 @341fa565 @b541bfe5 When I was in culinary school, we had a unit on creating edible arrangements. Some people were amazing, others were not. I was with the folks who were not amazing. 
 @b541bfe5 The bananas would be brown slime by the time I finished making that thing. Who the hell has time for this?? 
 Ever notice that the only people #Trump calls "#racist" are black? 🤔

 @0164a145 Given the number of search engines available, it's hard to see what an Apple search engine could possibly provide that would make it a leader in an already saturated market. 
 I'm researching mom and pop pharmacies in my area. I'm going to make a switch because fuck these ... 
 @3967703f I switched to a local independent pharmacy a few years ago, and I couldn't be happier. It's so nice to have a familiar face greet you by name when you walk in. They bend over backwards to accommodate your needs, and don't hassle you about your prescriptions. It makes such a big difference, especially if you're prescribed medications that some chains treat as a moral failing. Walgreens treated me like a criminal every time I walked in. Now I'm treated like family. 
 More domestic #terrorism by deranged #MAGAts. This shit is only going to increase as we get closer to the #2024election, and #Trump gets closer to #criminal conviction. Avoid these people like plague if you value your safety. If you see a red hat, cross the street and get ready to call 911.

 #ElonMusk doesn't know anything about the #allegations against #RussellBrand, or the women making them. But he's sure Brand is innocent, and the women accusing him of rape are lying hussies who are just trying to keep a good man down. See, when you're a super-smart emerald miner, the truth just comes to you. And what a surprise, that truth just happens to coincide with his pre-existing, #misogynistic, #incel-supporting beliefs! How convenient!

 #Biden's office put out a statement a few months ago saying there would be no #pardon for #HunterBiden. Nobody is talking about pardons... except #rightwing operatives and sensationalist #media. And no matter how many times it's shot down, they just keep bringing it up. These individuals and entities have an interest in fabricating controversy, and keeping the non-issue front and center in the minds of Americans. When you see shit like this, always question the #motives.

 The House Republican Train Wreck

Punchbowl News: “We are now 17 days before a government shutd... 
 @9703c978 Once again, the Republicans will present a list of unreasonable and implausible demands. Then, they'll shut the government down if ALL those demands aren't met while blaming the Democrats for the consequences. The Republicans are hostage-takers who operate entirely in bad faith, without regard for the best interests of the nation. Their unquenchable thirst for power, and their unending sense of entitlement are their only motivations. 
 #America's least favorite #goober, Sen. Tommy #Tuberville, is completely #ignorant of what the #military is, what it does, how it operates, and what its #culture is all about. If you go outside right now and find a pile of #dogshit, that pile of dog shit knows more about our military than Sen. Tuberville. That's how ignorant he is. And when that ignorance combines with his epicly poor judgement, an unnecessary blockade on high-level #promotions is what results.

 This is so typical. #Republicans don't get their own way, so their first instinct is to try to change the rules of the game. Imagine killing someone, then demanding that the #law against #murder be eliminated. That's exactly what they're trying to do.

 @3967703f My local Walmart gave N95's to everyone walking into the store for a period of about 3 months, so I stocked up. I've got about 100 of them.
