Nobody should have to choose between their conscience and their livelihood. But here we are!
These should be commonly prosecuted crimes with penalties far in excess of petty drug offenses, burglaries, or even domestic violence. These people are doing harm to THOUSANDS of people for money.

Man I was all primed to go out and do so much adulting and this really knocked the wind out of my sails
I got all gussied up to take a passport pic only to discover my passport, uh, didn’t actually expire? And won’t for years?
“Frunk” is the worst new word since “blog”

the big error I hear a lot in casual conversations about COVID is that people think once they catch the virus, they "get it over with" and idk man, it really seems like the reinfectious potential of this virus has not been communicated well to most people

So uh why don’t we redraw the lines of time zones to be diagonal like the sun goes, anyway?
I have two packages stuck at the FedEx hub in Ellenwood, GA, and after a brief Twitter search I am confident they will never arrive 😭
I don’t understand how so many car designers heard “we need another, bigger touchscreen” and decided to glue-gun an iPad to the dash and call it a day
