I came across this on craigslist in Oklahoma City. It takes a turn at the end that made me laugh.

This Craigslist post cracked me up. I am a writer and I feel this guy's pain trying to market his book.

It’s the domestic violence.

It’s the guns.

It’s the combination of patriarchy and easy access to guns.

Domestic violence is a gun violence issue, and gun violence is a domestic violence issue. We cannot address one without addressing the other.

I think Gen X is problematic as a generation. The 1st half graduated high school without even having computers while the 2nd half actually had early internet by the time they graduated. I wonder how the progressive/con divide plays out between early/late Xers. I identify more with Millennials.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

The thing we must learn over all else is that they protested FOR YEARS. There is a sizable bit of the Resistance that seems to think we will overcome the Fascists, turn to Socialism, and be having mimosas next Sunday. "We have only just begun" is overstating how far we've come. Keep fighting.

Are we going to need to update the movement from No Kings to No Gods?

When CITIZENS VOTE in MASSIVE NUMBERS, the FACIST and AUTOCRATS LOSE. It happens every ELECTION that sees MASSIVE TURNOUT. This is why the MAGAt’s are so DESPERATE to deny AMERICANS the RIGHT TO VOTE for as many as possible

People out here upset that the U.S. is alienating the Pope and I'm over here like, "even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes."

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

Just a reminder to Congress:

Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR.

If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

MALA-nia

These are the stupidest people. A failed impeachment would only highlight the need to vote for opposition of the GoP.

Spoiler: Gas is up 19% in a month after the Iran conflict. Ground beef is up 11.6%. Coffee is up 19%. Tariffs are projected to shift 80% of their costs directly to consumers in 2026. Republican silence isn’t a mystery — it’s a confession.

In a surprise rebrand, Nike has decided to call the Rangers the Tiles and give them Oklahoma Sooners colors. MAGA hates it because it's not in English & Hispanic people are just confused because they don't know why it says tiles. Nobody in Texas like OU, so this is going to be a real slam dunk.

From the mouths of babes, this is a sweet sentiment.

Sadly, this is the same level of thought the POTUS puts into policy & he is a tyrant.

Who knew that almost 5 decades later, a single Blondie song would still be fucking up the world?

It looks like The Chicago Cubs have finally CRACKED the code. They're flying a W Flag on the moon tonight. The Assman got the win in the ass game.

This is one thing that really drives me insane. Why do people think being at the opening of some random franchise is going to be some event worthy of sitting for hours waiting?

It's similar arguments. We keep hearing the same stuff with different players. We were talking about Morel bat speed, hard hits, barrels, etc & how the babip was bad. Bregman is better(9 games)but it's the same points. It's annoying to see year after year. Breg is the answer but complaints are same.

It feels like all the high level female athletes of the 70s were just complete bad asses and we should really hear more from them and about them now because I don't think they really got there due in real time.

Morel with the Cubs had a 0.3 WAR 199/302/373 for 675 OPS. He was hitting the shit out of the ball, but bad numbers. The point is, Cubs wanted to trade him for the same things Bregman is doing right now. Also, the Paredes deal was terrible. There's more to baseball than WAR. Paredes sucked.

We should trade him to Tampa Bay for an even worse option. Oh, that's right, he's Bregman, not Morel.

I think the reason is that this is what the GoP wants. People seem to think Trump is the issue, but they are wrong. He is the product of more than 50 years of GoP building their fascist dream.

I wonder if all the Christian myth people recognize that saying Jesus is risen, is very very close to saying he is woke, which he absolutely would be if you actually read the Bible book of myths.

It's baseball season & Easter. Put something nice in your Cubs Easter Basket. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0F2...

Somebody got a birth certificate from the same place as Albert Pujols.
