Unsurprisingly, ICE are too thick to understand the concept of Consulates and Embassies.
In the UK, most independent shops prefer cash to avoid paying EFTPOS fees. It’s therefore common to see “Cash is King” signs by the tills. In fact, some businesses (e.g. fish and chip shops and barbers) retain cash-only policies.
Edit: grammar.


Their incompetence might be the world’s salvation.
Is more cowbell required?
I’d say someone who was 8 months or more gone was very pregnant, wouldn’t you?
One that lasts more than eight months.


Stephen Miller isn’t an elected politician. I’d also like to nominate Rupert Murdoch and Andrew Tate.
EDIT: In my cups, I’d probably nominate my son-in-law and daughter-in-law as numbers 2 and 3 instead.

After 60+ years I don’t offer generic unsolicited advice any more (I learned that lesson) but if I were going to break that rule, I’d suggest you read books. Actually read them too, don’t rely on audio books, and read as widely as you can. Sci-fi, mystery, romance, historical, non-fiction, just try to read a book a month. To lose yourself in a book is one of the great ways to maintain mental health.
Also, don’t offer unsolicited advice.


I’m in my 60s. Posting on social media mostly isn’t fun any more, and I don’t really want to put more money in the hands of billionnaire fascists. So Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are gone (I’ve had to keep Messenger as I have friends who only communicate using that platform) and I’ve never bothered with TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat anyway. This platform and Bluesky are the only ones left and I’m mostly a lurker anyway.

That was fast!
I smoked for over 30 years and couldn’t break the habit until I tried vaping in the early years of the technology. I slowly reduced the nicotine level in the e-liquid and quit completely within 18 months. It was easy and fun and cheap. Now I see vapes marketed to kids to get them addicted to nicotine and eventually onto cigarettes. I find it crazy and not a little tragic that a technology designed to get people off tobacco has been re-purposed by the tobacco industry to cause addiction.
