It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

#Texas (retired) teacher here @jamestalarico.bsky.social GETS IT He's absolutely, 100% right!!!! What they're doing to our children, as well as children in Iran and the Middle East, is killing me

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind." “These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says. That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

If only there was a representative event in history in which the ruling party flaunted their wealth & lifestyle while taking away from & burdening the poor & working class..... 🤔🤔🤔

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...
