🧡Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business.

If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s.

Here's one! toastedseattle.com

<after Googling> The frustrating thing about looking up filibusters online is it isn't about when someone spoke for hours (looking at you CNN) it's when a vote wasn't even done because "they didn't have 60 votes". Even though I wouldn't want to give the GOP more power right now it's undemocratic.

We don’t know each other but i recently caught up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a couple of years, and some pain she expressed reminded me of what you’ve been through. I hope you’ve got support and know that your work in this community has been appreciated.

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.

The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

The Jolly Roger flag

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call β€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Amazon DNS outage breaks much of the internet | TechCrunch The outage affected websites like Coinbase and Fortnite, and disrupted services like Signal, Zoom and Amazon's own products, including Ring.

It's always DNS. Except when it's AWS. (In this case, it was both.)

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

I had a similar experience a few years ago with someone unhappy that they didn't get an upgrade. Was escorted off the plane by a SWAT team after an emergency landing/unscheduled stop. Flight attendants are not going to mess around.
