One thing I really think needs to be hammered into ā€œlibertariansā€ & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is ā€œare we paying for food or for the house or for medical billsā€ territory.

not real sure which one is fictional tbh: thread

Let’s have some fun. 1) What are you too old to do? 2) What are you too young to do? Me: 1) Put up with a shitty guy. 2) Stop having sex. (Meow šŸ˜»šŸ™€) YOUR TURN!

AI in the wild? This tray tissue I was given at a restaurant is full of errors and hallucinations…!

ā€œI personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,ā€ Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.

Wired saw it subscription’s rise after removing the paywall for FOIA based reporting.

One of those Senate non-negotiables is its 2.75% flat income tax, meaning the highest earners in the state, those making more than $100,000 a year, will no longer have to pay 3.5% in income tax, making them equal to the lower tax bracket.

Primary almost everyone. Enough is enough. We deserve a better world.

Fuck it. Election night Stancil repost. Why not

RIP Big Balls I'll still never eat your dad's popcorn

If you see this post a picture with out any explanation.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on ā€œkitchen tableā€ issues.

He’s here

I have seen people try to defend this shit with "well, they would have found something to cite even if these specific stories hadn't been written" maybe so but they chose these ones, and the authors should feel the shame of being cited in a Plessy-level decision forever

we should have a song that we sing when we're ashamed of our country

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art hotter than fuck

ā€œDeath to America.ā€ -Republicans

This entire attack line is so bizarre. It's not a phrase Mamdani uses, it's just something random people chanted at a protest. All evidence indicates that the pro-Palestinian movement is not substantially motivated by antisemitism, it is motivated by moral revulsion at mass killing.

the DMV experience as a whole has improved massively across the United States but cultural memory takes a long time to move

Without input from parents or students, the Education Department ordered several civil rights investigations on its own — targeting schools with trans athletes, gender-neutral bathrooms and initiatives it sees as discriminatory to white students.

I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.

The bees from My Girl have endorsed Cuomo

oh they lost MONEY on this shit

Sorry can’t talk, busy explaining to my cat that she is very tiny

one way to make sense of the position of the republicans on the supreme court is that they do not believe there is such a thing as a legitimate objection to the actions of a republican president, no matter how deranged, depraved, or anti-constitutional www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

trump falsely claimed throughout his campaign that biden's fema couldn't afford to help north carolina hurricane victims because the money was spent on immigration

With Chris Rufo's former assistant now working comms at the WH office of OMB, we can rest assured that the amount of "gay race communism" coming out of that office will now be kept to a minimum.

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI

A lot like when Gingrich helped kill the Office of Technology Assessment in the 90s. It's a further removal of expertise, esp. housed in Congress rather than from the admin state and "on-loan" from the Executive Branch. It's a big deal, and should taint the GOP like buying a lemon from a car lot.

If you were born before 1990, consider getting a measles vaccine booster.

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning ā€œsleeper cellsā€ in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe? AI e-girl operated by a balding intelligence officer in virginia: that's right baby, Iran is totally cringe

When I’m feeling nonverbal it’s fine because I just reskeet the funny and thoughtful people

WCK resumed cooking in Gaza after our first aid delivery in 12 weeks. With new ingredients on hand, we’re preparing warm, carb-rich meals like pasta and hearty potato stews. The WCK team cooked nearly 10,000 meals on day one of resumed operations. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

we actually don’t have to listen to the people who are cheerleading war who were also cheerleading war 20+ years. we’re the adults in the room now and we have the power to say fuck no to shitty ideas.
