I respect you fancy people who pay for fancy gas. My truck gets the cheap gas because it has a cheap owner. But who is paying for midgrade? Marshall Zelinger reports for Next:

rare type of face that only english dudes born between 1890 and 1940 have for some reason. maybe a result of extreme levels of maternal soot exposure or something

Ticketmaster parent Live Nation settles DOJ antitrust case Live Nation Entertainment settled with the U.S. Justice Department in the middle of a trial on claims ​the Ticketmaster owner illegally dominated key parts of the live-events industry, the DOJ said on...

The Trump DOJ gave Ticketmaster a sweetheart deal that keeps their monopoly intact & does nothing to stop their ridiculously high prices & fees.

The deal was so good, their stock price jumped 6.2% after the news broke.

Once again: Trump's putting corporations over consumers.

In 2024, Nebraska voters rejected private school vouchers by nearly 60%. Voters in 45 of 49 legislative districts said NO.

So did Jim Pillen and Pete Ricketts accept the will of the voters? Of course not.

When Trump said this strike was "done by Iran," he was lying, just as he lied about keeping America out of wars.

He & Sec. Hegseth are responsible for the killing of these 175 people, most of them children. They must be held accountable.

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

'We’re scared.' Latin American players on edge as ICE tactics intensify Major League Baseball players and managers express fear and concern over increased immigration enforcement.

Apparently Eugenio Suarez had his citizenship application taken off the books because he's Venezuelan and his response was "it is what it is."

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Kids grow fast, and so do we.

This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

anyway, its interesting that our ruling class and the media treat small family farms like an endangered lifestyle that should be saved with policy interventions while treating well-paid unionized blue collar workers as a doomed economic anachronism when the actual situation is the opposite.

idk why this is. it doesn't make any sense to me tbh! but its the way other market dips under Trump have gone and you would've lost a lot of money if you acted rationally and made a lot of money if you just blindly trusted Trump's lies and I think a lot of traders have internalized that

the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing

feel like theres tons of stuff like that. animaniacs had a recurring skit that was a parody of "goodfellas" which i certainly hope no kids in their target audience had seen

yes many farms near major metro areas are functionally land banks - not economically viable long term but can be sold to developers when the owners are ready to retire or otherwise exit

reminds me as a kid sometimes catching on cartoon network old WB cartoons that were like, extremely specific parodies of 1940s movie stars like humphrey bogart or peter lorre and thus completely baffling to me as a kid

i dont recall seeing any elvis references in any of my kids cartoons, ya. but plenty of references to stuff in the 80s and 90s (which are ofc as distant today as elvis was to us when we were kids)

to add to this: not sure how many people realize how many active "small family farms" in the USA have been economically unviable for decades already and basically exist as a heavily subsidized hobby for the owners
