Here's What CBS Cut Out Of Its ‘60 Minutes’ Interview With Trump CBS aired a condensed, 28-minute version of a 73-minute interview for “60 Minutes.”

CBS aired a condensed, 28-minute version of a 73-minute interview for “60 Minutes.”

No, I’m not watching 60 Minutes. I’d rather swallow live bees.

This Is happening because the Trump administration actively chose to illegally withhold nutrition assistance, pretending it wasn’t allowed to deliver benefits despite its own guidance (that it has since deleted) saying it was allowed to deliver benefits.

Remember when I posted this last year and no one read past the first sentence?

A Metal Gear Solid CODEC call spoof from DeathGenerator.com It features Meryl and Natasha, portraits of two women rendered in green tones, as stand-ins for myself and for OP. Meryl is reminding Natasha: "Remember, Mira, you can tap the Z BUTTON to change your perspective from first person to third, allowing you to look around yourself and see that you're a gorgeous woman."

Ominous

oh I'm sorry, I thought this was a Great Gatsby themed party

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

How do late-Cold War ballistic missiles have accuracy of meters, no idea of weather?

They fall at 7km/s. Traversing the troposphere in 2 seconds.
Greatest entrance of error was earth gravitational variance. They didn't use GPS or radio or cameras.

It is The End Of The World.

Meanwhile USDA Sec Rollins is trying to change the subject —the subject being Trump's decision to withhold food aid from 40M people—by claiming the admin is focused on rooting out SNAP fraud.
To be fair, no one can fraudulently receive benefits if no one receives benefits, period

Apologies, but I searched to make sure this wasn't rage bait.

Nope, it's right there on their website under the category of retailer notices.

I could puke at this state level cruelty

No acts of kindness will be allowed.

Understandable why grocery stores might be scared off. A store caught violating the prohibition could be denied ability to accept SNAP benefits in the future. In low-inc areas where SNAP shutdown will have biggest impact, getting thrown off SNAP could mean a store is no longer financially viable.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I think Susie Wiles & the gang screwed up the shutdown fight by going with a "Trump is UNSTOPPABLE" narrative instead of a "Trump is being completely hamstrung by the EVIL DEMOCRATS", & I suspect it's because both they & Trump himself are insecure about his ability to project strength.

But they can't even take the bricks out! Like they barely zeroed the mandate penalty in a massive reconciliation bill after just a punishing and ugly session. The Medicaid Expansion demanded a SCOTUS case that could only be a half measure. Trying to zero ACA subsidies are going to murder them.

I first heard Marty Robbins when we found a copy of “Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs” buried amongst the hymns and sermons in my great-grandmothers record collection in Shreveport in the 80s and I don’t know if “Big Iron” stood out to me even as a kid.

Anyone who’s favorite Marty Robbins Cowboy song is “Big Iron” is suspect.

It’s not a deal breaker, but far too many people only know Marty Robbins from that one song on the Fallout: New Vegas sound track.

I was an infantryman for much of my adult life. It was a good job. More often than not it was an honest day's work of service for not horrible pay.
But there's a reason I did the training to get a tech desk job once I'd gotten the minimum time in for a retirement from the army.

I’m gonna need y’all to engage with some apolitical shit today please and thank you. I’d rather be audience captured by nostalgic country music posts and beer drinking story time than a senate race in a state I don’t live in.

Started GM-ing a game of HELLPIERCERS and doing the post-session 0 prep with maps etc. and the game being such a unique setting and with such a unique aesthetic is kinda rewiring my brain because....
These guys are tulpas, right? Like the gem is the person and the rest is materialised thoughtform

“TilTok is bad but not because it made the kids pro-Palestine” is the fraught argument we’re going to be having much more publicly and I do think within the next 2 years.

I think this is a comprehensive and even handed examination of three or four interlinked strains of social media backlash that have all been brewing. Well worth a read.

Does anyone know any good trans illustrators I could commission?

It's for a sticker idea I have, but I can't draw people.

And any other former game show host carrying them out would have been in custody already.

"It turns my stomach to see how we pollute the water—draw the drapes, please." John Fischetti, March 1969. The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire several months later. It had done so many times before. But, in 1969, the reaction to the river fire helped launch the modern environmental movement.

I don't think we have any idea what happens to an economy where 42 million Americans are suddenly and purposely starved by the ruling party.

imagine the hysteria of post 9/11 america but instead of invading iraq people wanted a full on military invasion and occupation of detroit, including people in detroit. its horrifying, absolutely fucking horrifying

This will be my third year doing his deep fried sous vide version and I don't think I'll ever make it another way
