Karoline kicked off her weekend updates by posting photos and videos from her Palm Beach getaway, revealing “the ocean is my happy place” alongside footage of her coastal drive. She then shared a snapshot of her meal at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palm Beach, where rooms can cost guests as much as a staggering $2,781 per night.

Maybe if she didn’t want her social media posts to be publicly analyzed, she should: not publicly post things unless she wants them analyzed; not have chosen a high-profile job in front of all the world’s media; or saved things she wants kept personal for a shared family text, an alt posting account, or locked to approved users.

Because Congress lets him.

Federal officials say immigration raids have begun in North Carolina.

It’s not just Maryland, it’s the entire PJM area.

Bulkhead seats can also be the seats directly in front of a bulkhead, which really suck because often your seat cannot recline while the person in front of you can. Not only do you lose footroom, you lose personal space.

Tools to lend, sewing machines, kricut, 3d printers, museum passes, etc.

They’re just waiting for a better case before overturning it.

Duffy said that ATC resignations and retirements rose from about 4-per-day before the shutdown, to about 15-20 every day now. No it’s not going to get better quickly.

C) I’m not going to bother searching for it, but I strongly suspect the content of this “article” was stolen from some other website and was posted to increase the click-rate - something that you’ve encouraged by posting the article here, where it doesn’t belong: it’s well over 4 months old so it isn’t “news”, it definitely doesn’t come from a timely source, and I suspect it’s “publishing” stolen content.

I liked the bit where the cop claimed the “attack” left an onion string on his uniform.

They’ll just keep at it until it does change. Remember, everyone was frantic and upset the day after January 6 but nowadays it’s all just “peaceful tourists taking a walk”.
