Goddammit. The Onion once again posted an article in which a portion of the artwork came from an AI-generated Shutterstock image. This article was over a month old and only a portion of the image. We took it down immediately. We'll be more vigilant. I'm personally sorry and I'm working on it.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump ordered the stop as part of his larger effort to purge the government of programs and expenditures promoting diversity initiatives, but the suspension will have a wide ranging impact on a host of federally funded programs.

The difference? Some people are actually happy about the pain being inflicted on the Latino community—and they probably claim to be Christian. Why are people on the right so hateful?

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I remember a time (in the not so distant past) when there was a separation of church and state and we had checks and balances in our government. It's all going to shit and it's fucking scary.

I'm so old that I remember when Republicans were pro-military and veterans. Now they want to wipe out healthcare for veterans and support Putin and Russia. Who could ever have predicted this? I can't believe how completely Putin is taking over the US with propaganda and dezinformatsiya.
