Support your local libraries

This only works depending on how baked you are though. I worked for a major metropolitan public library system a long time ago, and one time a dude wandered in smelling heavily of weed, and wearing only one shoe. He came up to the circulation desk and asked to order a pizza. When informed that it was a library and didn't have pizza, he blinked and looked around, and upon seeing all the shelves of books, he said "Oh.", and then turned around and left. To this day I never know if he ever found some pizza or his other shoe.

Bait or r*tar*ation. Call it.

Musk learned the hard way why other billionaires don't get directly involved in politics, and buy politicians instead. That way they get what they want, but let the politicians take the heat for pushing through the billionaires agendas.

The problem for Musk is that his ego wouldn't allow him to sit quietly on the sidelines calling the shots. He had to prove how smart he was, and how he was the only one who could fix the government. Now, he's pissed off almost everyone, has lost various large foreign contracts for his companies, drove sales of Tesla into the ground, and is watching Trump undo the "brilliant" governmental cost cutting that he did.

And, his ego still won't let it go, as now he's suggested he'll start his own political party. You just know the other billionaires are looking at him and going "What a dumbass!"

I seem to recall that Thai places have a special spiciness scale, it goes...

Whether it's true or not, I don't know, and I plan to never personally find out.

Anon likes bikes

Moved to the suburbs in my 30s. Got a new bike to hit the nearby bike trails. First bike ride turns into agonizing ordeal as it literally feels like someone ripped open my knees and poured broken glass in them. Diagnosed with arthritis in my knees.

There are plenty of reasons people don't use bikes, and health reasons are one of the main ones.

Where's the lie?

Conveniently forgetting to mention that the words on the Kamala side should also be on the Trump side as well. Also, if you want to be accurate, it should be mentioned that Trump is actively encouraging Netanyahu to go even further, complaining that Israel isn't doing enough genocide for his tastes.
