Would be nice if you actually told us the context or a brief blurb about what the "Worst Part" is rather than forcing us to the article.

much like when the cowboys play the patriots, I want both teams to lose

I started coming here less and less. The AI slop images, the shitty memes that you mentioned, the incessant "starter packs", the Brittney and Donk garbage...it's all so tiring and off-putting.

And plus, the engagement here has gotten strange...I can't put my finger on it, though. Feels "off".

I've had to unfollow a pretty significant number of accounts because all they seem to do is promote misinformation or advertise starter packs at every turn. It's disappointing.

I've also been unfollowing accounts that overuse AI images. They're garbage and cringey.

Maybe I just need a break.

Fact Check: Women’s birthing-duty quote misattributed to US House Speaker Johnson U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson did not say that a woman’s duties include giving birth to able-bodied workers, according to his spokesperson, despite posts online sharing the quote.

I'm not defending this ass clown, but he never said that. www.reuters.com/fact-check/w...

We have to be careful with information lest we become what we despise.

If you're talking about Katherine Keyes, she was cited as an author for a study that she didn't write, but it wasn't fake. Unless you're referencing someone else.

I'm not defending it by any means, but you gotta provide your sources. Propaganda works both ways.

I'm not very vocal on here, but y'all need to stop with the AI slop that I see posted all over. It's lazy and gross.

So I decided to play through Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus again and, as part of the game, you're able to pick up newspapers and other items and read them. I picked this up during gameplay and found it eerily prescient for a game released in 2017.

Why? The executive is just ignoring the courts with no repercussions. Who cares if they lose court cases when they're able to do whatever the fuck they want?

IT'S THE FIRST COMMANDMENT....THE VERY FIRST ONE!

And you just know these wackos consider themselves Christians.

giving this any attention at all is exactly what they want

well, they do work...but that's the petty superpower I would choose

that, and I wish I could telepathically make my enemies' socks slightly damp

that's my number one "petty superpower" - leaf blowers don't work within a half mile radius of where I am

but sure, throw a fucking $60M parade

she's covering the hole where her heart should be

man, I'd just be happy if they would eliminate the cap on social security tax

My spouse is traveling and I have spent the ENTIRE day watching Eddie Murphy movies on Pluto. Honestly? It's been a pretty good day.

which, incidentally, are still going up

joke's on you...everybody knows it's just east of Louisville

Federal Judge Allows DOGE to Take Over $500 Million Office Building for Free It’s the culmination of a weeks-long standoff between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and the United States Institute of Peace.

not to mention free half billion dollar buildings... www.wired.com/story/judge-...

clarence never forgets to cup the balls

I don't believe in heaven, but I sure hope there's a hell

"fucktard shitlib"

Alright, we're done here.

Expecting the USPS to turn a profit is such a narrow minded and corporatist view. The post office is in the constitution. It is a service. How much did the DOD make last year? Homeland Security...how were their profits in FY2024? Not to mention that the USPS has to pre-fund employee pensions...

/sarcasmfont to be fair, it's has dropped around 3,500 not 1,000 /endsarcasmfont

U.S. stock market has lost $9.6 trillion in value since Inauguration Day U.S. stocks have had a rough go of it since President Donald Trump was sworn into office for his second term in January. Since Jan. 17, the Friday before Inauguration Day, the U.S. stock market has se...

9.6 Trillion. Yes, that's trillion with a "T."

Yes, boom is accurate
