We received a Fraud, Waste, & Abuse tip: An affordable housing developer was renting out their affordable units to friends and employees from another related entity. Due to legal ambiguity around covenant language, we couldn't substantiate the claim.

Dolly proudly, to the end of her days, described her style as "trashy" and that's just one reason i will love her forever

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

What the fuck is Quest Diagnostics doing?? How fucking severely have they downsized their staff that it's become utterly impossible to get a test done quickly without booking an appointment weeks out? What do you fucking mean you have to book an appointment just to DROP OFF A SAMPLE???

I'm listening to a podcast and an ad for Whole Foods just came on where the VA clearly says "no hydronated oils" instead of "hydrogenated" and I'm like... is this an AI "actor" reciting a script with a typo? Or a real dumbass with an also dumbass editor? Either way, commercial director fail ๐Ÿ˜‚

Walking into my livingroom so I can stretch and try to work out some of my back pain to be able to walk today bc I can't afford physical therapy and seeing a man in his 50s roller skate past my apartment feels like a very Millennial Economic Moment.

Quick update, there is a mariachi band at this meeting. Several residents told my reporter on the ground that they are now furious. The line is gigantic, and itโ€™s unknown whether everyone will get in but โ€œthere are way more people here than there are seats.โ€

Sean Beckner-Carmitchel@acatwithnews.bsky.social

So now it appears as though doors *open* at 6pm, and โ€œlimited seating is available,โ€ โ€œearly arrival is encouraged,โ€ and โ€œPriority entry for those living in the immediately impacted communityโ€ according to the cityโ€™s website.

her team is skilled in sweeping shit under the rug and making all this play out subtle enough that it only comes across as bad vibes that you can't put a finger on, but hot damn is it so important to highlight and tear this empress of trash down.

I think at the core of this is a really deep political divide over the core nature of what freedom is. At stake here is this question: is freedom the end of exploitation and rule, the ability to work and make decisions together without anyone ruling over each other, Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

i cannot begin to express the level of appreciation and relief i experienced just now while calling my bank and having it confirmed i was speaking to a real human and not an ai by the way the guy was muttering to himself as he typed in my info on the other end.

Los Angeles Magazine posted their newest cover, and it's AI slop. Nithya Raman looks nothing like the image. Deeply embarassing from an unserious magazine.

Why you dont want to layoff everyone that touched a Dragon Age, example B: Solas is now the religious leader of the Chantry apparently, per new shirt.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

#Poshmark fucked me over because a seller listed a pair of shoes as a MENS 9 that were actually a WOMENS 9 and won't let me return them. They're telling me I can "reposh" them, so they can just take out more seller fees. Go absolutely fuck yourselves, Poshmark.

was joking around theorizing about Azune's sorcerer ancestry with some friends, talking about how the growling massive head looming over him in his dream reminded me of Mufasa, and then i remembered his birth mark and....... Azune = Simba REAL?????? #CriticalRole

If anyone is looking for a new place in LA and is like..... a responsible adult who is not going to be late on rent every single month PLEASE hit me up ๐Ÿ™ Desperately looking for a new roommate who is not an asshole.

Watching The Wire while eating dinner, started up ep 4x02 and was mid-bite of my sandwich when Herc walked in on the mayor.... yeah... If anyone had been here to see my face I'm pretty sure I looked exactly like this:

I'm on season 3 of The Wire and I've been trying to figure out where I recognize Cutty from and why I feel a weird affection and loyalty for him, and I finally gave up and looked up Chad Coleman's imdb and realized hes FRED FUCKING JOHNSON from The Expanse ๐Ÿ˜‚

The biggest problem for me with going to the grocery store is I frequently purchase frozen goods, but then the stress of actually having to go to the grocery store means by the time I have driven home I have to sit in my car and disassociate for 15min while shit just melts in my trunk.
