For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

😂

This one shouldn't get lost tonight.

President Trump—the man who passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history—is CHOOSING to let families go hungry.

He is outright refusing to use an emergency fund to pay SNAP benefits, even though USDA said they would just last month!

Trump needs to keep SNAP running.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

Hurricane Melissa could be Jamaica's most powerful storm in history “There is nowhere that will escape the wrath of this storm,” said Evan Thompson of Jamaica’s Meteorological Service. Melissa is already blamed for four deaths.

Praying for the Jamaican people tonight.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Harris certainly would have been called crazy if she said "this man will bulldoze the White House while cutting SNAP benefits!" And yet here we are.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

There are many better reasons to avoid LLMs, but I think part why I viscerally don't like them is that their obsequious fawning gives me the heebie-jeebies. Creepy as all fuck

A dried hibiscus flower pressed into a picture frame. It is posed with trees whose leaves are somewhere between late summer and early fall.

Don’t stop creating.

Preference will be given to those with recent experience in the Rose Garden. There may be substantial bonus** for aerial fertilization engineers.

Looking for solid, paid* work in DC during a single party government vacation?

The White House is renovating NOW. We could really use your help turning the First Lady’s work area into to a twerk area.

Inquire within!

anyway i guess we now know every company in the world that never bothered to change their AWS off the default bucket location.

During Thanksgiving and holidays, people want to do food drives where they collect canned goods etc... and I really would love to offer that food banks need MONEY so if you can collect and donate MONEY please do that. They can then use those funds to purchase what's needed AT DISCOUNTS.

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I’m starting to worry that part of the appeal of ”AI agents” to some is that it feels like working with people but it’s got none of the friction that real people have, and that this is kind of appealing to a certain type of self-isolating computer fan.

Here’s the video of the incident
