I wonder if this photo was chosen by someone who searched for "parent and kid, upset" and this is what popped up and they don't understand the context. Or maybe the Financial Times is accusing private equity of fucking a pie. I just don't know about finance to make a judgement on this.

As said of old:

This whole thread is so grim.

Can't find out if Cloudflare is down because Cloudflare being down has taken out DownDetector, along with half the internet.

my religion is that i'd like to believe when you die you have to actually Hear Yourself and then the damned will crawl into Hell of their own free will

Broadview's mayor keeps calling the protesters "out of towners." Every time we are there, we talk to people from the town on the front lines. (Also this is a tiny town y'all, it's reasonable for someone in like...Brookfield or Melrose Park to feel like this is their community as well!)

I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time. for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Some dipshit right now is buying poisonous berries online because a chatbot 2 years ago digested a fucking video game discussion and 2 years of inbreeding later its Hapsburg-ass descendant mindlessly spat it back out when asked for health advice.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

hey real question: is there ANYTHING i can do to get out of an apartment lease in georgia? they pressured me to sign almost a year in advance, had to move a few months later, but they won’t help me find a replacement tenant and have said they’ll sue me if I stop paying. I literally have a year left

*old worlde vampire voice* i am going to eh how you say fuck this man

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

A lotta folks are gonna be losing their food stamps, so I’ll be reposting several comics about hunger & food insecurity.

When I was a kid I’d often go hungry. Eventually I came up with the idea to go to as many different church pizza parties as possible. Whatever works!

A lot of places in the USA only have food banks operated by faith based organizations. And they only serve members of their congregation. So, lie. Do whatever you gotta do!

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days. The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that. We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP. We can urge folks to donate to food banks. We can give them warning.
