I hear it pronounced Urine-us more than not lately. It’s not better.

I have an issue with Raphael Cruz making up a white name.

Your phone wouldn’t work correctly.

I make chicken jello (from chicken skin and bones) for my cat all the time, it only takes an hour.

Calexico is the name of the merger.

I would totally use it but my cat thinks it’s fun to lick it and then run to me to scrape it off her tongue. Then go back and lick it again.

When lavender infused foods got trendy twenty years ago, the first time I tried some lavender pound cake I spit it out because it tasted like soap. But I kept trying it, lavender tea, white chocolate, cakes, cookies, coffee. Eventually, lavender soap started to smell like tasty treats.

What the actual fuck? He’s putting Iowa farmers in charge of immigration now?

How about we expand and update the H-2A/ H-2B program to actually meet the needs of farmers/hospitality businesses and protect workers. Instead of opening the door (even wider) to human trafficking and exploitation.

But after hearing concerns that farmers were losing migrant workers they depend on, Trump outlined how Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was developing legislation to effectively allow farmers to vouch for their workers to allow them to stay.

Trump said similar lenience would be extended to hotel and leisure industries.

“We don’t want to take all of the workers off the farms," Trump said. “We’ve got to work with the farmers.”

“We’re going to put you in charge," Trump told the crowd.

Why though…?

I expect better from AP news.

This was five months ago. The MPs haka sparked national protest and a nine day march against the Treaty Principles Bill, which did not pass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_Principles_Bill

I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”

You old enough for this one?

These ones were much better. I still don’t understand the physics of how wiggling the handlebars back and forth made them go forward, but it felt like magic at the time. Much less finger pinching and no Charlie horsing your groin trying to crab walk with wheels under your butt like the other ones.

Yes, I was referring to the phenomenon where us old people (Millennials) perpetually think that the 70s were 30 years ago, then have a small existential crisis when we realize.

“That songs not from 30 years ago, clearly they were talking about Bowie…oh… oh no…”

About a century, actually. Marketing began in the US after WWII WWI when we suddenly had the ability to create more products than people needed. People needed to be convinced to buy shit they didn’t need, and thus marketing was invented.

The first notable marketing campaign was cigarettes for ladies in 1929. Cigarette companies were missing a whole section of consumers because women weren’t supposed to smoke, especially in public. A group of beautiful young models were hired to smoke cigarettes at a big important parade that was going to get lots of coverage in the newspaper. A reporter was paid to “report” on their “carefree” and “liberated” manner as they smoked “torches of freedom” out at the festivities. Equality, feminism, yay!

Associating male virility with vehicle choice was next. Both were brain children of Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, who was very interested in his uncle’s ideas about people’s actions being influenced by their subconscious mind, before it was popular in America.
