Omg this is real. On a government site. This is both hilarious and concerning.

Super cool when I'm looking up symptoms I have and Google AI is just like "have you tried not being fat?"

Yesterday, I was doing a business math lesson with my intern and I asked him what 5*15 was and the sheer panic in that poor child's face when I told him not to use his phone is forever imprinted in my mind

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

We’ve helped more than 1000 Boston residents buy their first home with down payment assistance and reduced interest rates. Congratulations Mimi on your home in Allston! Learn more at boston.gov/homecenter.

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

My favorite part about the AI Art trends is all of the water folks are wasting to see what they look like as Studio Ghibli or Scream characters

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

Incoming thread: SNAP in the event of Government Shutdown (Probs just going to post screenshots because I'm lazy)

#TalesFromMunicipalCourt I'm literally paying someone to cover my store today so I could attend my court summons. I get there and they have no record of me but told me to double check with the office (my inspector was right next to the clerk but was silent). Might be dismissed. Dope.

Hey Pawtucket/Providence people! Chloe and I are filling in as hivetenders today at the Hive Bar x Jordan's Jungle ♥️

Interesting... kotaku.com/ea-sale-saud... Anyways, #shopindie for your next game.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I spent a lot of my childhood watching a lot of TV and reading a lot of books. One of my friends really didn't while growing up. I reference these things and then get to traumatize her by telling her plot highlights.

Everyone always talks about their sexual awakening... these boys were mine

Ligia's Pops is popping up with us TODAY! Come support a local artisan by buying popsicles ♥️ Erin from TLBBS will also be joining us so you can learn about what's coming soon to Corliss Corner

TODAY!

Meanwhile RIPTA needs $4 million to close their budget deficit. Service cuts begin tomorrow.

Hey Rhode Island: Want to find an easy $250,000 you can put immediately toward restoring bus routes? Stop printing and mailing quarterly payroll tax report reminders to the 30,000 employers who use payroll services so it’s already taken care of for them automatically

I actually appreciate the fact that there are so many people ahead of me on the waiting list to get 107 Days on Libby

If you haven’t read 107 Days, spoiler incoming * * * * Chapter 103 Days If people don’t read any other part of her book, they should read this chapter & understand what she was up against.

A Pawpaw Latte sounds like a great way to shit your pants.

The "Taylor Swift Tax" would generate an estimated $11.8 million+ in revenue for the state. This wouldn't completely cover the RIPTA deficit but would put a serious dent in it.

Joined @nbcnews.com to talk about my Taylor Swift Tax: millionaire flight is a myth. A fair tax code is an "affront to wealthy people?" Cue the world's smallest violin. Working RIers can't afford a home, and I'll stand on the side of the people til I'm six feet under. www.nbcnews.com/video/rhode-...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

@mayorwu.boston.gov is a visionary leader www.boston.gov/news/city-of... She solved two problems in one with this project. Brilliant.

My intern tries to arrive to the store between 10am-11am. He texted me in a panic bc his bus still hadn't arrived as of 1059am. He didn't get to us until ~1pm. He spent more time waiting in the rain than at work. #McKeeStrandedMe I'm worried for next week.

We've had 4 sales today and two were folks picking up preorders (bless them for that). I'm just telling myself that it'll be okay and we're going to make lots of money Fri/Sat/Sun to offset the slow September we've been having

Looking for someone who can do the work of a small team single-handedly in half the time? Hit me up, I need reliable income and I'm super efficient.

My pet peeve is businesses that have automated social media messages because I hate receiving "we're off making something tasty" or some B.S. when I'm tagging them in something or replying to them.

Half of my feed is talking about the new year (Shana Tova btw) and the other half is talking about the rapture and I'm just over here being my heathen self as per usual

Anyone taking prenatal advice from cis men who have zero experience or knowledge in medicine or child birth probably shouldn't be reproducing

Cam was like: what day is today? And I was like "Sunday" and he was like "do you remember?" And it took me a split second before I burst into song

I fell asleep on my phone and woke up to my phone at 9% battery and random symbols DMed to people I barely know

I woke up from a nightmare to learn that I drove past the Steelers while they were actively eating dinner, serving as a painful reminder that I should be going to the game instead of working a farmers market

My statement on House Resolution 719 on Charlie Kirk.

Can we please stop wasting energy pointing out hypocrisy on the right? They don’t give a shit, dude.

Has anyone else dealt with being pulled over presumably due to their last name? My [pale as snow] friend married a Nuyorican and since legally changing her last name, she started getting pulled over regularly for nothing and then let off with a warning. (Continued)

I don't care what business you're visiting, "how does this make money/how are you still in business?" are never appropriate questions to ask. If the business is failing, you're rubbing salt in the wound. If the business is succeeding, you look like a naive idiot.

The Benson-Stabler romance is legitimately the worst thing to happen to SVU. Just because Christopher Meloni is daddy doesn't mean he needs to be the love interest. It's lazy + it romanticizes hooking up with your coworker.

I put together these fun produce boxes every week and rarely get to enjoy the produce myself. Tonight, I finally got to try Jimmy Nardello peppers, which I've been covering for years, and they are absolutely heavenly.

Sorry it's not a sunshine and rainbows week. It's a death threats and chronic illness week.

We identified what we believed to be a realistic sales goal, based on how we've been trending. Since setting that goal, we've been missing both that and our previous sales goal. It's so frustrating because it would be nice to receive a paycheck in actual money instead of just taking expiring food

On a lighter note LAG was back earlier and I watched a recording of him saying he's going to buy the unit across from my shop and use it to make aphrodisiac mushrooms as an alternative to Cialis
