“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

It passed unanimously. Override the veto.

I know I’m late to this particular update, but it’s starting to feel like someone ordered waaaaaaaay too much of this marble and they’re just trying to get rid of it by installing it in every room and building they can.

This is New England's version of the Louvre heist. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Survived the loss of my brother and being full-time caretaker for my partner through an extreme mental breakdown. Made it through my first full year in business for myself. Helped a handful of really brilliant, kind people find better jobs. Worked on seeing and appreciating the small joys in life.

can't wait to see how this works in concert with the "mailbox rule" for service, since the postmark could be way off from the affidavit of service. anyway, if you file your taxes by mail, get it manually stamped or metered if you can.

Billionaires : look if people are living in their cars then we're going to charge them appropriate rent

TIL that a fair amount of people actually believe a hotel is running a full background check on you when you hand them your credit card and ID. What a wild thing to believe.

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.

Sauron was not only evil, he got distracted and his defenses failed

If you don't get that the promulgation of half-truths and outright lies is how we got into this g.d. mess in the first place, then you're, you'll pardon me, even stupider than you look.

Excited to announce GOLLUM, an app that helps you focus on your most precious possession!

I feel like we’ve all been trapped on a runaway train for at least the past decade that is rushing us chaotically into the future at an increasingly high rate of speed. Time is going TOO DAMN FAST.

Wild framing for an election where dude actually cleared 50% lol especially after mainstream media kept insisting Trump's plurality squeaker reflected some kinda resounding mandate. Y'all ain't slick!

I know not everyone is into sports but I am glad that when I see ten posts in a row on here going FUCK!!!!! it’s not always about something legitimately horrible happening in the world

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Oh this is so heartbreaking.

Eagles Secondary

As a native Ashevillan and someone who went through an extended period of homelessness, this makes me extra angry. It’s a stupid and hateful policy, especially knowing how many families are still struggling to find housing post-Helene.

Yup

What’s funny is that I actually settled TWELVE wars in half a day and no one ever appreciates that. Smh.

The Eagles defense isn’t messing around today.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Kindness and sincerity have always been the punkest things going.

Ah gosh, I did not want to cry today but here we are. An important read:

To recap: *The Trump administration illegally renamed the Kennedy Center. They broke the law. *Now they are suing a guy who refused to perform because of the name change for $1 million.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

I hope everyone has at least one surprisingly amazing and wonderfully good thing happen to them today.

Important thread

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

It's like the 12 days of Streisanding.

OH MY GOD THEY DID

The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks. If you know authoritarian history, then you know how menacing this is.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 White House threatens to cut Smithsonian funding unless it submits future exhibition plans, gallery labels, and internal emails for an ideological review. Translation: 💰 Obey the narrative 🏛️ Or lose 2/3 of your budget Government pressure on #BlueSky #NewsSky

Don't let the ASB OPI (legit) distract you from the TesLaa OPI (dumb)

I am so sick of games being decided by penalties and questionable calls.

Is it just me or is she aging more by the day? I can’t tell if it’s the makeup and the clothes or if it’s just the full commitment to evil.

Oh ffs, @kaine.senate.gov where is your spine?

I was just saying this! If you go to any comments section on social media, you’ll see a flood of bots making some sort of divisive, hateful claim and I think it gives the impression that certain points of view are the prevailing norm when they are actually not. It distorts reality.

This whole thread but especially this part:

it's a layup and we're not owed and she has her own stuff to do but I would love a short little diss track from Megan dropped at like 10:15 AM on Tuesday

I know we all said “at least the racists have outed themselves” the first term, but I personally hate how normalized casual racism has become. The kind of talk needs to be called out and people need to feel shame again.

One the one hand, she was truly a baby attorney (only admitted last year!) and the supervising attorney should have known better… but on the other hand, WTF was she thinking??

Yes, and

This is wild.

Welker: Why did you take down the picture of Trump with young women? Blanche: We take down any pictures with victims in them. Welker: So those women with Trump were victims? Blanche:

Rick Steves is a good dude

We're gonna eventually expand to a 64-team college football playoff, and there'll still be dorks online claiming Sunny Valley State Technical Institute, 7-4 record on the season, didn't get a fair shake and the whole system is rigged.

Oh jesus christ. Make it stop.
