Here's an idea. Instead of cutting SNAP, increase the amount and give it to EVERYONE, every adult and child. Any funds not used within a year go to food banks. We could be the country where no one goes hungry. Zero money wasted trying to prevent fraud if everyone deserves it.

And we’re off *BRENT OIL RISES 1.6% TO $114/BBL ON TRUMP, IRAN WAR THREATS *S&P 500 FUTURES DROP AS MUCH AS 0.8%

I just learned that people actually pay for followers on Bluesky. what is this? (chuckles lightly ) communist russia, for babies? guys i think i'm lowkey in my self care era.

baby

If you don’t know anything about a topic it’s ok not to post about it

it is quite possible that in the coming decades it will be plainly evident that Trump put up numbers that easily lap Stalin and Mao for death via starvation and disease

What the fuck are we even doing

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

This is the funniest false positive for my labeller @facelabels.bsky.social so far

and...asleep

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: March 28 will be the biggest protest in US history. Find your local No Kings event to make clear you're part of The Resistance to this regime’s brutality at home, pathetic ineptness, perpetual lying & their illegal war in Iran. ✊https://app.sosha.ai/s/39HA7UDd

And as @roryjohnston.bsky.social told me, this energy shock could change asia's energy system forever. this level of vulnerability to disrupted oil and gas flows is "intolerable," and we're likely to see a 70s style push towards efficiency and alternative sources heatmap.news/energy/energ...

The US spends significantly more on healthcare per person than any other developed country. Security cooperation is not the reason an unexpected medical emergency would bankrupt you. Private insurance is.

With all of the “Marines going to Iran!” news lately, I thought a summary on Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) might be helpful for some of you on this site as I haven’t really seen anyone post much about them, so I may have more expertise on this one subject than almost anyone else on Bluesky.

Too many people on this site are fucking losing their minds.

We are in *quite* a shit position.

Like they have tons of storage, tons of russian crude, still getting iranian crude, still getting saudi crude. They are the safest place in the region right now by a long way

Impossible to understand why none of us are helping America, completely unfathomable, if only someone could explain such actions

Principled, sincere pacifists: This war is bad and you should feel bad. The kind of dead-eyed MilSky posters who defend the F-35 program: You don't feel nearly bad enough about it.

*Bombs country, lifts sanctions, refuses to elaborate, leaves*

President Trump on the Iran attack during Oval meeting with the Japanese PM: "You don't want to signal too much. We went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody, because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise in Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

$20 billion in lost annual revenue with a 3-5 year expected repair time for the world's largest LNG facility. Iran managed to wipe out ~3.5% of the world's LNG supply in one attack.

Oh yeah, today's gonna be brutal for the markets.

11/ Sources that "the goal of having soldiers on land in Greenland – with as many different flags on their shoulders as possible – was ... so that the Americans would be forced to take a major hostile action if Donald Trump actually wanted to occupy Greenland militarily."

stop lying about what bad people say because it is still fucking disinfo and you are still poisoning the fucking well

i am not joking when i saw that this is the heart of what woke 2 is all about

* DOW CEO SAYS UP TO 50% OF POLYETHYLENE SUPPLY IS OFFLINE, CONSTRAINED OR IMPACTED AMID MIDDLE EAST DISRUPTIONS -- CONF CALL * DOW CEO SAYS COMPANY REMAINS FOCUSED ON WHAT'S FIRMLY WITHIN ITS CONTROL, REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION THAT'S UNFOLDING IN THE MIDDLE EAST -- CONF CALL @reuters.com

I am on the edge of my seat and bopping my HEAD

OH MY GOD IT CAN

Lmfao.

As with every resignation, my belief.

Confiscate 99.8% of Andreesen’s net worth for the public good, wait 20 minutes, and then tell him his memory of ever having more than $4 million is false.

holy fucking shit man

Stop. Giving. AI. Admin. Control.

The dime design is indeed being changed for a year but the design was approved before Trump took office. This is one of those “confirms your biases so you don’t double check” things.

Thompson is, to my mind, one of the finest examples of leadership and courage, military or otherwise, you will find. It is easy to just "follow orders", pretend you don't see what's happening or that you're just doing what your country needs "for patriotism" Doing the right thing is a choice 25/28

He’s going to do something insane like threaten 100% tariffs on any country that doesn’t join the war isn’t he?

Honey Bear is chronically sick, and has been since adoption. She has special needs, allergies, and high anxiety, so nausea and throwing up are common. I am on a mission to fatten up my elderly baby back to 10 lbs. She only eats wet food and I have 3 other cats, so this will be interesting.

doing rounds [checking in on all my online friends in their little enclosures making sure they've got enough activities and enrichment and snacks and sippycups and such, noting their hyperfocus of the day and charting it aganst previous days, monitoring emoji and lmao use, et c.]

It's giving 1920s again.
