Tonight feels a bit like living in the 80s under Reagan and wondering if the nukes are about to start flying today.

"someone else who had their visa approved with no issue, who had no travel history and did not provide concrete travel plans, asked me if I noticed what was happening inside. You can probably guess what the main difference between myself and this other applicant is.”

MNGOP chair is calling on everyone to “not politicize this.” What other fucking lens should we be using? Genuine question for the GOP.

"We’re writing to inform you of the price change that will go into effect for your Google Workspace Business Standard subscription on or after July 9, 2025. The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value" So it'll be cheaper because the "AI" features make it worse, right?

I don't know how many times we have to repeat this, but seriously do *not* travel to/from/within the USA right now. Do not think about the USA. Do not talk about the USA. Do not taunt "happy fun" USA.
