The last time I played Puck, the director was a huge freak about not letting us wear shoes on stage because it would "ruin the look", but we all kept eating shit, and instead of just letting us wear skintone dance shoes or something with grip, motherfucker poured Pepsi on the floor so it'd be sticky and we had to schlorp around. I fucking hate you, David.

Why couldn't this have been a one time I dreamt

Coking the stage (mopping it with diluted soda so it's a little sticky) is a legitimate low-budget tactic for slick floors, but he just poured so much Pepsi on the floors that for about a whole week, it was audible.

Maybe the course of true love would run a little fucking smoother if we didn't have to ford your Pepsi river, DAVID.

I would just quit. Fuck people like that. It's easy to walk away

No it's not. Didn't you read the post? There was dried Pepsi everywhere.

Avelo Airlines cuts ties with ICE, ends deportation flights - al.com

Avelo Airlines, the only commercial carrier believed to have been operating full deportation flights on a regular basis for the Trump administration, is ending its relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will no longer charter those deportations.

The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025 to operate ICE flights out of Arizona, drawing immediate protests and calls to boycott.

At the time, the airline acknowledged the decision may be controversial but said it was expected to support company expansion and job protection. However, after less than a year since inking the deal, Avelo has admitted that the program became too costly and complex to continue.

CEO Andrew Levy acknowledged the backlash in an email to employees late Tuesday.

“We moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,” Levy wrote in the email, obtained by CNBC.

“The program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs.” (aph)

KEEP PROTESTING AND KEEP MOBILIZING. IT WORKS. IT IS NOT HOPELESS AND IT WORKS.

THAT'S MY STATE BBY I'M SO PROUD OF US DON'T STOP BEING LOUD!!!!!!

"In recent years, there have been political movements to replace the current progressive tax system with a flat tax. In fact, many states have enacted a flat tax. One plan called for a 17% flat tax on income. Compared to the current system, the 17% flat tax would result in an increase in tax liability for taxpayers with income of less than $200,000 and a decrease in tax liability for taxpayers with income of more than $200,000."

I knew all of this already but it's something else to see it in my tax accounting textbook. Something that I wish I could burn into the brains of every middle class to working class conservative calling for a flat tax.

Check this out.

Under the current system the people actually paying the smallest average amount of taxes proportional to their income are lower middle class.

It's expensive to be poor. But also notice that people making over $200,000 are still paying less than a quarter of their income.

Instead of getting mad at the lower middle class, ask yourself. Should the tax rate on income under $30,000 even exist? If a person makes enough money already to be incredibly comfortable by anyone’s metrics, shouldn’t they be paying more than that? Why is the tax rate for those making $800,000 the same as for those making over two million?

it's usually morally correct to make fun of the usa but whenever i hear british people do it it feels kinda tone deaf. idk if we have the high ground here guys. its like your mom making fun of your mental illness like ma'am where do you think i got it from.

???? I'm not a phone, fucker.

Pinterest fucking sucks now. Like the interface is really good and it's kinda fast now, but like notifications are only things you don't care about and everything is AI.

Anyone who genuinely thinks better training will solve the problems with ICE is so profoundly stupid they should probably be in a conservatorship.
