Wait they actually drew blood? What the fucking why?

Just rediscovered this great little Sandbox Beach Cafe along the Lakefront Trail, just south of Fullerton (midwest.social)
 

Nice little place with ~ 8 tables and a basic menu of hotdogs, tamales, chips, guacamole,etc. Usually every table has umbrellas but a few blew away in that crazy storm a couple weeks ago. Shari, the nice owner, is working on replacing them. AFAIK, this is about as close to the water you can get with a table and some beach grub.

Is that they tried visiting the US deliberately. Like, on purpose.

Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention in c/[email protected]

Should this kid be able to get a job somewhere in that agency? Sure, maybe. Should they be leading a major government department with zero experience? Absolutely not.

Just like an alcoholic talking head shouldn’t be leading our defense department. Or a fucking WWE wife being anywhere near leading education for the country. This isn’t about qualifications. It’s about nepotism and grifting.

How did they get WhatsApp installed? Is a FaceTime or other video option available? Never give up, never surrender

I’m a huge train and transit advocate and I try to take Amtrak every chance I get. But “tickets are cheaper” does not feel like a blanket statement we can make. Maybe on very specific, usually short legs, like Chicago to Milwaukee. Someone correct me if I’m wrong or there’s more nuance but once a trip goes past 3 or 5+ hour mark, the price seems to skyrocket past airfare.

They are absolutely not and I find it sus you make this bizarre claim without providing a single example.

Link and shame them. I will fight every one of their authors in a 1v1 dual to the death

Looking for theme to do “personal landing page” and blogging (lemmy.world)
 

I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

Thanks

Share your wholesome/funny CTA stories. I'll start (lemmy.world)
 

Let’s skip the negative/horror stories and focus on the good, wholesome, and funny stuff for once

One time I was on the Green Line out of the loop to Forest Park (when I lived there), this homeless lookin dude steps between the cars into mine. It was rush hour so fairly packed. He starts preaching

“Let me tell you the story of how I found Jesus!”

“I had the life. I had it all! I had the women, the house, the cars. I made a million dollars!”

“Then I lost it all. I hit rock bottom. I didn’t know where to turn, I thought it might be the end.”

“And that’s how I found Jesus. He saved me. And he can save you too.”

Someone from the other end of the car goes

“Yeah that’s great but how did you make a million dollars?”

Whole car erupts laughing. Dude turns around and goes back to the other car

Recommendations for a Hue app with colors and scenes for holidays (lemmy.world)
 

Over the last thanksgiving day sale, we picked up a set of Hue’s outdoor string lights. We’re playing with leaving them up all year round and changing colors based on upcoming holidays.

Anyone have a recommendation for a third-party app that can control Hue lights and has pre-built scenes for various holidays? I don’t mind making them myself, but I am quite disappointed at Hue’s built-in gallery; it is woefully lacking in holiday scenes.
