Soup feed is popping off

This is exactly correct and perfect.

republicans get the fucking shit kicked out of them literally every time they try to pick a health care fight, so, sure, let’s have that fight

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President. Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty. Endless projection. I hate him.

This is the best descriptor of Kash Patel in a crowded field of strong contenders.

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times

“I know you can’t afford things but we also cannot afford things” will be, I predict, a losing message. The world’s first trillionaire is on the horizon. “We can’t afford transportation, healthcare, food and shelter” will no longer cut it for the “progressive” party.

i was also struck by how many people receiving SNAP are employees of wal-mart and other big corporations. almost seems like we taxpayers are subsidizing private companies 🤔

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

“authors & publishers who filed a lawsuit against the Sam Altman-led firm have secured access to internal Slack messages… discussing the mass deletion of a pirated books dataset… A NY district court ordered OpenAI to hand over the communications regarding data deletion” futurism.com/artificial-i...

Look at this fucking coward pointing a gun at someone just for witnessing this

Oh good, the new internally-promoted, thumb-headed white guy CEO has zeroed in on what Target’s image problem is: Women weren’t smiling enough.

they should make an elected official who knows what stuff is and how it works and what it costs

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

“There were rules. When you had a Guild of Assassins, there had to be rules that everyone knew and that were never, ever broken.*

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

I didn’t want to break up this passage in posts, because I think it’s one of the best things Terry Pratchett ever wrote.

No, Judge Jackson. No. Please.

All of it:

Read this:

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I didn’t watch this because I refuse, but this dude looks like shit.

Translation: “We will let your health care premiums skyrocket and have no plan to help alleviate the pain”

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

Been trying to figure out who Bovino reminds me of for MONTHS. It finally clicked with this image, the psycho cop from The Frighteners lol

Recession-level layoffs. More than a million jobs lost this year. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I’m going to regret asking this, but… what mechanism are people proposing whereby AI will “end scarcity”? This feels like literal underpants gnomes thinking, and as I never tire of pointing out, it’s being driven by a lot of the same actual people

One of the things that kills me about all this is that it’s just, like, maybe ten guys.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

I love it. They agreed to take an excavator to the fkn White House, I don't have any sympathy.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

​“I get emails from the New York State Democrats, and you look at the list of meetings, and all it is is fundraisers. There are no meetings. And who holds meetings? The Democratic Socialists of America holds meetings. The Working Families Party holds meetings. ”

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

I realize it is not the most useful piece of analysis but I feel like we don't talk enough about the plain fact that a relatively large chunk of the country has just kinda lost their minds

"did you even read the article???? the headline is bad but the article is good!!!" buddy if I see a restaurant called Dan's Fecal Stew i am not gonna go in there to see if maybe they printed the sign wrong

Reporter: The US handles about 45,000 flights a day. A 10% reduction of that is worse than the worst cancellation day of the past year, every day until the shutdown ends. Never in modern US aviation history has the federal government done an across the board cut of flight capacity like this

ODIN: ok, so a quiet week, any other business? THOR: no HEIMDALL: no BALDUR: we could do something about the huge snake which goes all the way around the world ODIN: omg baldur shut up THOR: baldur you ragnacock FREYJA: baldur you freak loser shut up LOKI: we should kill baldur

The New York Times is going through some things, although not, regrettably, a woodchipper.

<initial headline writer at the times>

Is it more guns? when you open the door to their department office, do a bunch of guns look up from their computer monitors until one gun sighs under its breath and comes over and asks, “how can I help you?”

over time i have just become less and less willing to forget or forgive trump voters

The Grim Weeper

one thing that's nice about canceling your New York Times sub is every week you get at least one or two stories shared on here that make you say, "yeah, it rocks that I did that, I only wish I could do it again." highly recommend you cancel yours if you haven't already

Legit Q: Do I have dementia? Are loved ones continually reassuring me that Reuters didn’t post this and there’s no such thing as a Bluesky? Does this make sense to anyone else?

Does anyone else smell burning toast?
