‘“On the page, later deleted, Sheehi seemed to suggest that some humans are beyond redemption: “If you … STILL entertain for even a split second that Hamas is the terrorist entity, there is literally zero hope for you, your soul, or your general existence as an ethical human being in this world.”

People began taking sides.’

“While Hamtramck is still viewed as a bastion of multiculturalism... Some leaders and residents are now bitter political enemies engaged in a series of often vicious battles over the city’s direction, and the Pride flag controversy represents a crescendo in tension.”

about a Century after Sgt Wesley, Sgt Sonstein carried slightly different gear but wore the same 7th Infantry patch.

TBH: I am certain that he was a much tougher person than I could ever be.

I think a lot of guys don't really understand the real power of the internet.

You can be nice to people.

Like you can just tell them "cute dress!" or "wow, I hope you have a really great day today" and no one finds you intimidating or wonders if you're hitting on them. You can be the fun, exuberant rando someone met online today who they tell all their friends about.

Give it a try; it feels great.

Barack Hussein Obama won as Barack Hussein Obama

Meanwhile…

Nimarata Nikki Randhawa had to run as Nikki Haley

Piyush Jindal had to run as Bobby Jindal

Rafael Edward Cruz had to run as Ted Cruz

Even Ronna Romney had to run as Ronna McDaniel

And don’t get me started on the 11-teen different names of George Santos

Point is, GOP claims that “Dems are obsessed with identity politics” is 100% projection.

To be clear, I had called the service person out with the intention of letting them do the repair, but after hearing the issue he was like, "I could do the repair and charge you a bunch of money in the process, or you could..."

I had made a service call for something I didn't intend to try to repair myself. The service person came out for a few minutes, gave me a bunch of info and advice, and then left without charging me anything. I didn't follow the advice exactly, but used the info he gave me to guide myself through troubleshooting and eventually fixing the problem. That service person is my personal hero.

Bonus: I now know what the inside of my garage door opener looks like. 👍

in honor of the approaching #juneteenth Holiday, I bring to your attention the graves of two Black Americans who had the incredible guts to put on a blue uniform & march South to defend their freedom & the Union. they knew it was total victory, death, or eternal damnation in slavery, and they went anyway.
