what do you do to alleviate homesickness?

What would you even do if you got an email that the current administration fired you? Would you even bother cleaning out your desk or just wait for the next email that says you're un-fired?

Hopefully this judgement will be honored by the Trump administration and aid will begin to flow again. It's worth repeating: The President of the U.S. does not decide where or how our tax money is spent. That is Congress's job. That's why Trump keeps losing in court. apnews.com/article/usai...

I definitely just watched a video on how to open a can. (To be fair it was one of those cans with the key attached.) What's the dumbest thing you've had to look up?

what would you wind up eating all the time if you had a star trek replicator?

these picks for high-powered government jobs are awful and should be replaced by Muppets: but which Muppets would you choose for which roles?
