Real work is a meaningless concept.
Many people on SNAP work full time.
The constant inflation combined with stagnant wages has resulted in more people needing SNAP to make ends meet.
If you want to get people off SNAP, you need to provide enough stimulus to escape the gravity of poverty.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

And the Fog.
He has a surprisingly deep resume in horror movies.

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

What a farce. It used to be “don’t buy avocado toast for lunch every day or you’ll never afford a house.” Now the economy is so bad it’s “don’t buy *a single pastry* once per week or you’ll end up homeless”

Move fast, break things, waste money.

I would take it a step further.
While there are some diehards who will blame Democrats or Jews or demons no matter what, a big chunk of Trump supporters will blame everything on Johnson and the Republicans.
"They are holding back President Trump!"
And Trump might just play into that.

This most closely resembles a nightmare.
I wonder how many trees died to make it happen.

Bob Kane was many things.
Most of them bad.

Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

As a supervising attorney, I am here to tell young lawyers that AI is absolutely a threat to your career. I do not mean that it will replace you. I mean that if you use it, you increase the risk that another attorney will replace you when you are fired. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I have been enjoying the Longbox of the Damned this year.
For whatever reason it and several other unrelated #Halloween projects have helped me get into the spirit more than I thought I would.

the most reliable tradition in american media is letting trump officials redefine what words mean and then throwing them a "farewell drinks" party when they leave for their next grift because they're all friends

You could go further, right? Where’s the demand for a new Speaker? If Johnson is going to refuse to do his job, why aren’t we calling for him to be replaced, the House sent back to work, the shutdown ended, and the Epstein files to be released.

"... he thinks he can meet “both the challenge and the promise of tomorrow” and execute on it."
What a bunch of nonsense.

“Making Sense of the Federal Forces on the Streets,” with photos of how they’re uniformed and equipped

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

SCOTUS isn't bullet proof.

Good bet.
I do wonder if that is when Trump tries to "save the day" by just taking over the government and dissolving Congress permanently.

Bitching about statue removal was all Republicans did for a decade and many of their followers seem to be dirt farmers who subsist of food stamps and opioids.
Why not message about everything bad going on and let each person pick what sticks with them?

"Spooky Clown is Scary" might be the whole purpose.

Just ambush him at a press conference.
Show up and demand to be sworn in.

Pansexual? They go down for anyone.

Or maybe my brain is too fried to even understand what I am reading anymore.

Whoops. Sorry, for whatever reason I just saw the first tweet in the thread. Otherwise would have been even more agreeing.

Yeah, I have to agree.
I would go further and say that further explanation doesn't help. Even with sources.
Either you don't know, or any display of knowledge is parroting someone who also doesn't know. Because people seemingly don't trust evidence or credentials.

Really appreciate you sharing this bit as the journalist who spent hours researching and analyzing the info it would be great if you could link back to the original work:
