Maybe tuck some gold bars away somewhere safe if you can.

I'm not so sure your "cash" will hold its value at this point.

Expect inflation, and devaluation of the US dollar.

Illinois State Troopers has just declared an unlawful assembly outside ICE Broadview… Those who fail to comply will face chemical munitions and arrest.

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically pr...

Well duh.

A joke scientific paper with the title "Over 90% of children diagnosed with autism consumed breast milk and/or formula mileL a comprehensive cross-sectional analysis of the obvious"

Who did this?!

This 'expert' TikToker just listed $3530 a month in expenditure, claiming he eats on $225 a month on groceries in Boston, with $715 dining out. At 40hrs per week, for 4 weeks a month, and a total of 11% tax, comes to $24.50 an hour.

... In one video, he shows what he spent in September — almost $1,400 on rent, $280 on household supplies, $110 on transportation, $225 on groceries, $715 on dining out, $340 on health/medical, and $460 on miscellaneous expenses."

Further reading, quote: "Connor Morrow, 25, of Boston, has a TikTok account where he shares financial advice and budgeting content. A typical video of his shows how much he spends on groceries, rent, dining, health, transportation, and shopping... (Cont)

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

Its almost like stressing CVN systems to the breaking point for 20+ years may lead to trends in mishaps. There are entire generations of Sailors who will never know what a mere 6 month deployment with european ports are like; just 9 months in the med extended to 11.

This is the kind of thing that makes me so upset; this is a photo of a human being who is in their last moment of life, in terror, choosing to jump rather than burn. The horror that this man's life ended in is NOT fodder for a cheap shit politician.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House
