Let’s taste them.

I've actually resorted - more than once - to showing my used menstrual products as proof.

That's metal.

So they’re just subcontracting the exploitation?

It seems that a dog which is trained to perform the "specific task" of intervening to halt harmful behaviors would (should) qualify as a service animal.

Headline buries the lede:

Starbucks’ Howard Schultz, who was interim CEO at the time, broke federal labor law in 2022 by telling a California barista who raised concerns about unionization that “if you’re not happy at Starbucks, you can go work for another company.”

More likely that she was demoted for being a bigot than for being heterosexual.

Yeah from one of those companies that pour tons of money into developing and maintaining a web browser without any way to recoup that expense.

Looks to be pretty bipartisan to me.

As of 2024, 38 states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel.[6] Many of them have been passed with broad bipartisan support.[7] Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.[8] Separately, the U.S. Congress has considered anti-boycott legislation in reaction to the BDS movement. The U.S. Senate passed S.1, which contained anti-boycott provisions, on January 28, 2019, by a vote of 74–19. The U.S. House passed a resolution condemning the boycott of Israel on July 24, 2019, by a vote of 398–17. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Mike Braun (R-IN), Rick Scott (R-FL), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and Steve Daines (R-MT) reintroduced the Combating BDS Act of 2023. So far, no federal law has been adopted.[6]

Does multiple sclerosis affect your sanity like that?

Also, "has a 'rapidly progressive neurologic' condition for several years" and "can travel across the country to be part of a violent mob" would seem to be mutually exclusive, no?

 

#Archaeology in Britain: "I have uncovered a previously unknown 1900 year old Roman villa."

 

Hot take: The song Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves is about a woman who has a delusion about someone who wants nothing to do with her. #music

 

Who wants to comes over and motivate me to get a couple of bikes started for the season? #motorcycles

 

For the sake of clarity, my opinion that dogs are great is not in any way meant to compare them to any other animals. I am not suggesting that other compainion animals are in any way "worse" than dogs.
