I'm a Teamster in Ohio USA.

UPDATE: We made it!! Thank you so very much everyone for saving us. At least I think we made it. I'm not sure how anal-retentive they're going to be about it being paid after close of business but same calendar day.

If they do end up being pissy and charging us fees, at least we have the actual *rent* paid for. It's not like we can really do anything about it now anyway.

I am grateful and relieved. Making that payment was a welcome respite from the absolute fucking chaos at work today. 🙏

=-=-=-==-=-=-=

There's a slim possibility if we can somehow make the rest in the next 45 minutes, we might still avoid late fees because it's before midnight.

“But adequately stigmatizing Rowling’s weaponization of childhood not only requires personal withdrawal for most people, it necessitates something much more difficult: being a giant fucking killjoy. You should tell people discussing the show that you’re not watching it, and why, and you should let yourself openly cringe at your sister-in-law’s Harry Potter tote bag, and you should bring up unprompted that the onslaught of legislation against trans people makes you sad and angry, presuming it does, and you should do this because, not despite, the fact that it will make you look annoying as hell and may make everyone present uncomfortable.”

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector

HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but quality isn’t the point. The show is a transparent attempt to induct a new generation—and market—into the lucrative fantasy world…

When I say that many US white evangelicals and christofascists aren't really practicing a religion, this is what I mean.

They co-opted the symbols of christianity to justify and promote US racism.

If your true religion is US racism then you select the most powerful racist in the US as your "pope."

"America will never give up the moon again.🤡"

What an embarrassing statement.🤦🏿‍♂️

What a scathing indictment of the childishness and futility of an anti-science nation being in a space race.

What does "give up the moon" even mean?

Other countries sending scientists while we angrily hug a moon flag.

In the first three months of 2026, Ukraine has killed or wounded 89,000 Russian soldiers. At the same time, Russia has only recruited 80,000 because Putin has serious recruitment challenges, writes Zelenskyy.

Consequently, Russian companies are now being ordered to find recruits among their employees, typically 1 percent, writes Reuters.

And Putin’s increased oil price is being countered by Ukraine bombing all his oil export terminals, taking out 40 percent of the capacity.

Happy Easter Vlad!

Wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu continues his illegal erasure of other people's culture, this time bombing the classical Honiak Music Academy in Tehran.

This Iranian music school was a haven for children. After an airstrike ‘there is nothing left’

Classical Persian music used to fill the rooms of the Honyak Music School in Tehran. Now, it has all been “wiped out.”

The doctors, some NGO workers and volunteers who show up to give training and shots are often disgusted with this reality. There are OTHER good reasons why one might want to keep tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS at bay in this world. It's moral, it gradually makes the whole world more wealthy and stable, and it's safer. That is: USAID would benefit the US even if the cobalt mine were nationalized.

US business people do not want to hear this.

Anyway this has all been cut. 3/

At least three families won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against former Skyline Healthcare owner Joseph Schwartz. They haven’t collected a cent.
