            Gary Larson said he had a friend whose father once met a boyfriend of hers, and told him, “You know what your problem is, Edgar? You don’t have a purpose!”
That led him to making this comic.

            CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

            The civilians in Gaza are displaced, hungry and under constant attack, despite an agreed cease fire. Their Bluesky accounts are always deleted. We're their only voice and means of survival. 
Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️🙏

            seeing people talk about setting up mini food pantries in tandem with giving out halloween candy while corporations fund extreme makeover: white house edition is the sign of sick, broken society. i mean what in the actual fuck.

            The former president of the Philippines is literally sitting in The Hague right now for doing this exact same thing.

            They project this will cost $75M up front and $30M a year and I'm guessing if you just gave the majority of these folks $57,000 and then a $23,000 basic income and let them live a life, they'd do just fine. And that's assuming they stay in budget. But helping people ain't our thing, punishment is.

Four months ago I endorsed 
@AndrewCuomo
 because I thought his management experience and government know-how made him the best choice for New Yorkers. I still do. And today, with early voting underway, I wanted to reiterate my support for Andrew Cuomo. Being Mayor of New York City is the second toughest job in America, and the next mayor will face immense challenges. Andrew Cuomo has the experience and toughness to stand up for New Yorkers and get things done. I hope you will join me in supporting him.

                                            He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.
“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.
“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

            Undocumented immigrants have an arrest rate of 613 per 100,000. 
CBP agents have a self-reported arrest rate of 1%. There are 62,400 agents. So CBP agents have an arrest rate about 1.63 times that of undocumented immigrants, assuming these are correct.
