You have thoroughly enraged Gen X. There will be action

If you’re on a rec league hoop team and a certain orange doods motorcade passes on the nearest highway it’s over. You lost and sprained an ankle and the drinking fountain doesn’t work

NEW BUSINESS ALERT: Tina’s Warehouse is now shipping Cage Free Eggs via the US Postal Service!

I have a supportive housing project for 100 formerly homeless seniors on hold right now because the developer doesn’t know if their HUD funding will get pulled our not

I really hate it when people say we will deserve our own destruction because it horribly disrespects all the people who have sacrificed their time, energy, strength, intelligence, blood, sweat, tears, and even lives to make this world a better place.

I'm the SNL production staffer who sat Al Sharpton next to Rob Schneider.

“[Private equity investors] don’t announce that they’ve acquired something. They often keep the old name of the firm. They’re like a brain virus or a cancer inside the body of this new firm. It doesn’t announce itself until it gets very late,” —Martin Kenney www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Are any lawmakers actively helping federal workers right now with advice or direction?

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Guys I’m beginning to think all of this isn’t about fairness in women’s high school sports

What's happening now was both foreseen and foreseeable. The president's team promised to put federal workers in "trauma." And that's what's happening. (Story from October 2024)

The only commodity in the world is ourselves and each other

If you have not read the 1941 Harper’s piece on who goes Nazi, there is a particular paragraph well worth noting about the “rich and scared, the spoiled son, and the labor tyrant” (with alt text): harpers.org/archive/1941...

It’s weird watching the world wake up to the fact that these social media platforms are manipulation tools in the service of oligarchy. What would a zero trust communication system look like? How can we create a social media system that works as expected all the time?

It's too bad—all these idiots who think they'd be "insiders" in a fascistic or authoritarian government; they're gonna learn the hard way that what they're fantasizing about is so inconsistent and unstable they'll eventually become victims of their own bullshit.

Friend who is still working for a media outlet that has seen better days, "I feel like I'm going crazy every single day." The stress of working in an industry that's collapsing around you is unreal.

If I won the lottery I’d buy a couple Senators

Of the approx 300 ppl living in the homeless shelter I worked at, above 70% were employed full time
