the idea that it would hurt small business is a smoke screen.

Yeah, the ultra wealthy are always claiming that if they have to pay their fair share then all of society will suffer. 🙄 118 honestly sounds fine to me, but the array of groups I trust that were against it gave me pause. I voted no, hoping to avoid another case of doing the right thing the wrong way.

Even the hostages are only as much leverage as their families can apply - netanyahu has shown time and again that he'll let them all die if it gives him another day in power.

First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.

I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I'm too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.

When asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.

Calling that a joke seems... generous.

Wasabi Sushi in Portland OR had a deep fried hot cheetos sushi donut. It was like a tempura fried sushi roll, but round and covered in cheeto dust.

It was not bad, just a bit too greasy for my taste.

For all the fun-ruiners saying this is not uplifting news because his assets will live on, zombie-like, animating his feckless children as they continue to inflict their monstrous will on our country - shush!

Just let us have this ok? A few moments to celebrate the death of a parasitic aristocrat doesn't seem like too much to ask.

If we just extend that rule to everyone we'd have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony "ringing the taco bells".

If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you'd look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who's not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.

Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.

Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that's a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.

Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.

I don't like it either but it's time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.
