Beyonce is overrated. When she sings it sounds like someone is kicking her in the back repeatedly.

They keep talking about needing to check for noxious gasses coming from the astronauts and every time I hear it I giggle because inside I am a 5th grader.

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

'put in' could be taken literally or literarily here, very important distinction

I woke up to two acceptances in my inbox this morning, which is the dream, except that today is April Fools day, and I have been preconditioned to believe everything is a lie.

The opera singer pavarotti stands in front of a field of elephants. He sings 'eeeeeeeeeee' as hearts fly out from his chest.

I am 'had to explain Rathergood.com to a coworker today' years old.

And there are significantly fewer song and dance numbers reminiscent of Disney's Aladdin. Equal number to Disney's Mulan.

This sounds like an excuse to eat the bread more quickly and I like it.

I am so out of bread practice that I can't tell if that's a normal amount of bread eating or an absolutely crazed bread binge. *Crunches toast*

With my *many* food allergies it's been years since I've been able to eat bread. I finally found a recipe that is both good and safe and oh look, I ate an entire loaf in six days.

How long does it take you to eat a loaf of home made bread? Asking for a friend 😅

I was detained by ICE, one of the agents asked me out on a date and I feel scared I (26.f) am originally from Russia (Russian mom/Ukrainian dad) and a couple weeks ago at a Target parking lot, I was on my phone speaking in Russian to my mom when two guys in masks, wearing Border Patrol uniforms stopped me. They asked if I spoke English, I said yes, demanded to see my ID so I gave them my driver's license and passport card. They asked me questions like what am I doing here, what is my legal status (yes I am a citizen but they should have known that given I just gave them my passport card), what do I do for work (I work for the VA) and how long I've been here, etc. They told me to sit and wait in the back of their vehicle while they checked my IDs. While I was detained, one of the agents who stopped me told me to unlock my phone and give it to him so I complied. He checked it for a few minutes then gave it back to me. Now last Thursday night, last week, I got a text from a number I didn't recognize but as I was expecting a call that week, I answered it. When I answered the guy on the other line asked me "am I speaking with [my name]" and I said yes. He then tried making small talk, asking how my day was, etc and I answered his questions. I then asked him who he was and how he got my number but he seemed to try and dodge those questions. He then asked if I'd be free on Friday night or Saturday night. I told him something along the lines of "maybe but I don't know you". I then pressed him again, asking him how he got my number, how does he know me, etc. He then admitted that he was one of the Border Patrol agents who detained me and checked my phone. He went on to say that when he was going through my phone, he noticed I had Bumble and Tinder so thought he'd just take my number and try to contact me directly.

I felt sick when he said this but told him that this was inappropriate and if immigration enforcement needs to contact me, they do have the phone number and details of my family's lawyer, and I could he reached through those more formal channels. He the said that this wasn't an "official business" thing, saying he knew I was single and looking to date, he said I was cute and liked how I "obedient" (literally the word he used) I was, so figured he could just shoot his shot by trying to ask me out directly. I told him, "I'm sorry but I don't think this is really appropriate". He then said, I "got to get back to work now so just think about it", then hung up. It's been a few days since and I guess it's just sinking in how messed up and inappropriate this was, and I yeah, I feel scared and shaken by all this, being detained itself was terrifying to think where I'd be taken to or what would happen but at the same time, I don't know how to feel if I'm overreacting, underreacting or what. Edit: Thank you for all the support and advice. Also, for those who asked in my DMs, yes my dad and I are naturaalized US citizens but due to past immigration problems, my mom is not a US citizen but she is a legal green card holder.

This post is very popular on Reddit today and I figured some people here might like to see it

TL;DR a woman was detained by ICE and later one of the detaining officers reached out to her in and attempt to take her on a date

He said she he found her attractive because she was "cute" and "obedient"

This week, in the state park in the town I grew up in, they found human remains. Then two days later the coroner issued a retraction - sorry, actually it was a deer. How.

Turtle man still turtling, sadly.

Sage advice for anyone else in their 30's surviving shoveling this winter: get the XL heating pad. Not the little wimpy one with an auto shut off. The one sized like a bath mat that could burn your house down if left unattended.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

I read this in one sitting and can't stop thinking about it. Usually I have a hard time connecting with translated books - something feels awkward and distant. But this time that may have even improved the read.

AND they made a point to tell that kid who crashed in the ER to always wear a helmet. I feel like it's foreshadowing.

"Just go with it because it will be worse if we fight back" is not a good strategy when confronted with an authoritarian regime.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
