If the supreme court is going to block student loan forgiveness, I assume they are going to be very aggressive about clawing back all the forgiven business PPP loans as well? (92% of PPP loans were forgiven in all or part)

Or are they just concerned about screwing over young individuals, not businesses? Because that feels on brand for this court.

4 pretty good tweets of yore:

@WilliamAder
Me: Was it good for you?
Her: Was what good for me?
Me: Never mind.

Koalas eat 10x their body weight every day and everyone calls them adorable, but when I do it it's "disgusting" and "ruining our credit."

@GaryDelaney
Everyone at my handwriting class seems to be single and male, it's a great place to meet illegible bachelors.

@VestaTot
eHarmony matched me with my brother twice, even though we told them the first date didn't go well.

In a world of Scott Adams, be a Charles Schulz.

"When charles schulz's distributor pressured him to eliminate Frankling from "Peanuts" because he might offend pro-segregation southerners his response was "Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How's that?"

If you’re new to the #Fediverse, let me give you a tip, and some freedom: no one gives a shit how many people you follow. Metrics don’t matter here. No one is keeping score. Post good content. Be a good human. Or just hang out and enjoy good content and good humans. Follow people to get good content. Follow as many people as are sharing interesting content, because that’s how content gets into your feed. 😇 You are free to be.

I had the same fake cassette for my first CD player, and before that I had a little FM transmitter so I could play cassettes on my previous car's radio.

@bleakfuture I know your subject is different, but I would recommend talking to @ethanschoonover . He and his daughter run a Teen Horror podcast and may be able to help you avoid some teenage podcast pitfalls.

It isn't being in offices that makes employees want to keep working from home though the covid risks do rise significantly.

It's the aggravation of commuting -- and the huge waste of time and money.
