The refunds will be paid to importers and customs brokers, while consumers who paid higher prices won’t get much back.

This is makes me happy

high. speed. rail.

it was so cheap I contemplated road tripping just to stock up, when I lived out west. everywhere just keeps being more expensive. NY more than WA... etc

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

no where I've lived or visited has been cheaper than pdx

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.

Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.

Unusual.

As long as there have been concentration camps, establishing conditions of poor sanitation and overcrowding in which disease runs rampant has been a means by which the people in power have controlled and killed the imprisoned population.

Anne Frank died from typhus. The Nazis still murdered her.

The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.

and i get that such things are for the living. which is why i wanted *something*. but it's for all of us, not just him.

my desire to respect my dad's wishes MATTERS.

i've been bugging my brother this whole month for details, if i can help with anything...

he kept withholding. no wonder, if he's pulling this crap.

i am fucking LIVID.

my dad didn't want to have any sort of gathering/celebration of life b/c he was afraid his family would make it a catholic mass.

i suggested we hold a secular celebration of life, so there was no void for them to fill w/ religion

one guess what my shady-ass brother planned...

"my books aren't political" sayeth the guy where the movie based on one goes "we don't need a coupon, were the government." "which government?" "all of them"

STOP trying to make me consume A.I SLOP I like the Garbage i consume online to be made from the minds of bitches who get anxious in the supermarket

the problem is teenagers listened?

As unofficial town sorcerer, I'm sending out a mild, almost ineffective spell that will encourage a cat to be slightly more friendly towards you today.

In fairness, it *was* the first toilet to every leave earth orbit so I suppose we need to cut it some slack ;-)

I've missed something, and I don't know if I want to find out what it is. A frequent problem these days

this is also the reason why I don't want the lever type handles and will stick with knobs as long as possible - smart cats can open them, esp if the door opens inward

congratulations! here's to 100 more.

sad that im not in a position for a 3rd cat and/or fostering. maybe next year.

unfortunately they think the stress of capture means she will pop soon, instead of a spaybort.

I was worried, she seems very young & small. at least now she will have her kittens in a safe environment instead of out on the mean streets, and hopefully they will all find good homes.

she's a sweetie.

well I didn't finish cleaning my room but I did:

✨ fix a bag zip

✨ fill out the majority of my advanced directive and paperwork to donate my body to science

✨ trap and transport a pregnant stray to the humane society with minutes to go before they closed for the night

Look at this point, simply posting support of LGBTQIA+ rights, anti-racist or anti-capitalist statements, criticism of the Christofascist project, or anything else our 1A rights (used to) guarantee us will get us jailed so who fucking cares anymore. Fuck these stupid fucking fascists.

How should you participate in a society in which the 'health' system systematically harms your health, the 'human rights' commission removes your human rights, the 'justice' system refuses even to hear you and the 'independent' State broadcaster broadcasts lies about you?

A non-rhetorical question.
