Just to put the timeline straight: Marchan issued the gag order, trump retweeted 10 things that might have violated it, Marchan said that was wrong, trump said he hadn't violated it, Marchan scheduled a hearing. Before the hearing occurred, trump again retweeted ?3? things that might have violated it. Marchan holds the hearing, finds trump in contempt on 9 of the 10 items - it's at this point that trump's retweets are established as mostly violating the gag order.

Today's hearing was in regard to the ?3? retweets made prior to the first hearing. He's getting a fine today because the [comical] argument would've been made that, at the time of those, ?3? retweets (before the first hearing), he still believed his actions weren't in contempt.

I'm not sure if he's done anything since that first hearing that might violate the gag order, but that's when the clock started ticking. And, unfortunately, it only started ticking for those kind of violations. He might decide to try smirking finger-guns next, and argue that he was only just enthusiastically greeting an old friend :/

In addition to those, consider getting a hypoallergenic mattress cover and hypoallergenic pillow covers. And wash your bed linens more frequently.

I hate to refer you back there, but there's a dumpster diving subreddit.

And I don't know what the schedule in the UK is, but here in the States, people are moving out of their dorms for the summer. If the schedule is the same and you can get over to your local university or college or whatever, you may be able to score not just food, but other things that people just don't have the energy/ability to drag home.

A friend of mine used to offer end-of-termers $10 for their mini-fridges, clean them up in his shed over the summer, then sell them to next year's freshers for $40-50. Even if you don't have a car, you might find some small stuff you can clean up and resell.

Aren't we currently sanctioning Russia, North Korea and Iran?

Why do you think DeSantis and Abbott have spent so much effort making their states red hellholes? They're trying to drive out anyone with current liberal leanings, attract more Republicans to their states, and repel potential Democrats from moving in, all in a very determined effort to buy more time for those critical electoral college votes.

Take a long walk in the darkening woods. Sleep in the open on the beach. Go to a bar and get blackout drunk.

Well, if you read the article ................ :/

a 1938 U.S. law that requires sunscreens to be tested on animals and classified as drugs, rather than as cosmetics as they are in much of the world.

companies are wary of the FDA process because of the cost and their fear that additional animal testing could ignite a consumer backlash in the European Union, which bans animal testing of cosmetics, including sunscreen.

Won't someone think of the poor corpos! Corpos like BASF and L’Oréal, which only had profits last year of €225,000,000 and €32,000,000,000!

Well, what's preventing the corporations from lobbying to change the rules to benefit them, just like every other time? I'm not going to cry because corpos haven't bought enough congresscritters.

“[The Jefferson County Republican Party] have lost money in this. This was meant to be a fundraiser, but now we’ve lost thousands of dollars.”

Oh, no! ... Anyway!
