Coworker told me she attended a recent forum at @thecityclub.bsky.social. Seated at their table was the Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland.

in conversation, he learned where she worked.

“Sewer district?” the bishop said. “With the great social media?”

I think our society really is grossly underestimating how important visible accountability is for social cohesion.

May we re-learn this lesson.

Kroger O @kroger •4d Replying to @lilchurropdx Grocery stores operate on razor-thin margins and these mandates increase our operating costs by 20%- 30% (depending on market), putting any struggling store in jeopardy. 3:06 PM • 4/19/21 • Twitter for iPhone 479 Retweets 9 Quote Tweets 2,460 Likes

Fellas, I don't think you realize how many women are normalizing the idea of doing what we have to do now.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Lead us not away from temptation;
but deliver us to evil.
For thine is the spray tan,
the dour and the hoary,
Until the midterms.

The Fraud's Prayer:

In Washington as you are in Florida.
Give us this day our daily round of golf.
And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...
