“I thought that by selling us out to the people who want us all dead, I could find common ground with the people who want us all dead, but I found instead that they want us all dead.”

I hate him more than hate all the other assholes in power. He is an unprecedentedly dangerous threat to public health.

They ran out of dystopian novels to take notes from and turned to the Dead Kennedies for advice.

Live updates: Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule Two federal judges ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, during the government shutdown.

Rule #1 is don't get your news from AI summaries. The administration is legally obligated to continue funding the program and they are choosing not to.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Misleading post, the shutdown itself is not preventing these benefits from being distributed, those funds are already allocated. They are being deliberately withheld.

In Las Vegas, a $200 million homeless campus is under construction, with half of the money coming from the casino industry amid concerns that homelessness depresses tourism. It promises 900 beds across 26 acres with intensive services, and coincides with new prohibitions on sleeping in public, punishable by up to 10 days in jail.

Spending $200 million for a 26-acre campus with 900 beds. That is $222,000 per bed. Simply providing people with free apartments sounds a lot cheaper.

It would follow an obsessed fan of Michael Myers trying to clean up his crime scenes

The DQ1 remake is a true reimagining. Totally charming, even if you played the original or any of its remake ports, this is a brand new experience.

Dear Capcom:

1) thanks for supporting Switch 2

2) when sales are bad, please understand it's because we HATE game key cards. Hate them.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

Through all of their endeavors, it's clear they were trying to get a piece of the PC gaming market, but it was absolutely never evident that they were trying to compete with Steam. It's laughable.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The altruistic facade outlived its usefulness.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Financial Times headline says “critics accuse” Trump of extrajudicial killings

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Those who do learn from history are doomed to have people tell them they’re overreacting

it is my professional, clinical opinion that Karafun needs more ska

gotta waste water to save water, that's econ 101 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is this headline not already common knowledge?

So Uncle Phil is no longer steering the ship, eh?

Yep. I keep up with this kind of stuff pretty well and I was confused when they first announced it. The average consumer doesn't stand a chance.
