For me it was all that you said, plus Halo.

That's what they all say ..

I'll never not be happy about referencing Bleach. Yes that is the only way to eat such a loaf.

So the censorship of "free" press begins.

A comment on the article: "I will go back to a command line before I pay a fucking subscription for a mouse."

“Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return. The debate here isn’t whether to have these programs, but how to improve them.”

Yes.

To be honest, I have never understood why the "average joe" ever identified with Trump, whose whole point is that he is a "successful" billionaire businessman. Why they believe he's looking out for the little guy is beyond me.

Deport."

Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: "Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn't born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It's my home. And I'm proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it."
