Sounds awful on the surface. I was livid reading this. I very angrily read a lot more about what it takes to run a huge nonprofit, how much more they'd all make in a for-profit corp, and how efficent and well run FA is. Now I'm still angry, but I'm not angry at Feeding America anymore

I get really stabby about people who abuse the meds that I need to function as an adult in a society that said I just chomped up 15mg of Dexedrine ER spansules and held it sublingually for as long as I could because it took me an hour to make the kids quesadillas. And I still have to go shopping

I'd forgotten somehow what an absolutely beautiful song is In The Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel and it came on my shuffle right after I'd upgraded to Tidal (because fuck Spotify) and it was so moving I had to pull over and soak up musical bliss. Then played it again and sang along

Epstein whistleblowers have already received death threats.

Injuries continue to arrive, most of them children, amid ongoing Israeli occupation strikes across the Gaza Strip.

European News outlets continue their campaign aimed at smearing GrapheneOS, first the Spanish and now the French. The latter suspiciously quiet on their low privacy and low security government funded offerings. Read more below the break.

Love this so much. 💜

Today I found out the guy at work who saw a lot of red and green reflected off clouds in the southern sky last night and said That's The Aurora was actually serious and mad that I laughed.

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

Too often mutual aid requests stall while a person is alive, and then when they pass the goal is met quickly. It’s hard to ask for help and as a community we need to commit to helping in life & in death. We need to fund treatments, housing, food & caregivers… not just funerals.

We should be thanking Ukraine. They are destroying the army that was meant to invade us. Had they fallen, we would be next. Letting them fail now only delays the next war. Lasting peace requires a total Ukrainian victory.

just saw Predator: Badlands with the kids and I want my own adorable li'l death-monkey

It's my first Veterans Day away from the country that I spent my youth serving, and which has become unrecognizable. I gave a talk and drank a lot of gin.

if there's anything I've learned from watching anime is that catching a cold in Japan is apparently more debilitating than COVID

M T Greene, the feminist? Blaming the congressional shit show on a pissing contest between men, the mismanagement of congress on Republican men. Saying women need to fix it. I'm totality in agreement fwiw. won't criticize Der Pumpkinfüherer but she's defying the party line (still hate her tho)

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Stop calling it a Constitutional crisis The crisis was Jan 6 This is a coup It’s only going to remain relatively bloodless for so long Please start preparing now

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

"Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains" Someone already did The Downward Spiral by NiN so I'll go with this

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains. easy peasy

Am I crazy for considering moving to Nairobi? Excellent climate, thriving and booming live entertainment scene with lots of need for experienced lighting professionals, and a democracy that's a lot more stable than the one here.

Drought is quietly pushing American cities toward a fiscal cliff. Drought is set to pose a greater risk to the $4 trillion municipal bond market than floods, hurricanes, and wildfires combined. grist.org/cities/droug... #Drought #Cities #Water #Finances #Municipal

If you are wondering whether the U.S. military will kill civilians, the generals would say no are quitting. What does that leave?

red velvet cupcakes are a crime against nature

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Americans need to move past "but he's not allowed to do that!" He knows. They all know. They don't care.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

You need money for the kids, tent and light plus food in the fridge but that last box can be the hardest tick. Cuz there ain't no fridge. Or light, for that matter. lifeline4gaza.com

pretty good article but they missed on mentioning how awesome the enthusiastic validation of kk is, vs the curt and dismissive k

sound health and nutrition advice from Bob Vylan!

Things I did not know til Signal got taken offline by the AWS outage

My GF really wants to go to a Brazilian steakhouse like Fogo etc... I'm 6'2" and 155lbs, she's 5' and 105lbs. Together we have the food capacity of a normal adult. It's AYCE and you pay per person. We do conveyor sushi all the time, it works great, I just wish there was something similar for meats

This is a devastating account of what ICE is doing to our friends, neighbors and fellow US citizens. Incredible work by @propublica.org. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Honestly I wish that just... 10% of the #nokings protestors from NYC, Philly, New Jersey etc would hop Amtrak and turn out in DC instead. Turning out at home is important, but that's not where Bondi and Johnson and Patel hang out.

"The study identifies five countries that hold more than half of this regeneration potential – Brazil, Indonesia, China, Mexico, and Colombia" Ask me 10yrs ago if it were possible, lol no, but now those countries are way more invested in climate change mitigation than they used to be

The purge rolls on

wait what

Perry: "I agree with you about the seriousness of threats, generally, across the United States right now. I don't think there's a single public servant, really, who is not being subject to threats. "Mine started about 10 minutes after I got this case."

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

"What is fascism?"

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

"Don't Go Back to Rockville" came on the radio (OG Indie show) and I thought huh, this song really holds up then the lines "you'll wind up in some factory" and "walk into an empty house" made me think Ha, no, getting a job in manufacturing AND being able to afford a house... that's so 80s

reading through the instructions for a do-it-at-home booty-cancer screening kit, struck by how many times they warn the user to not drink the bottle of preservative liquid

On the plus side it's no longer "senseless violence." Because now it makes sense why the MAGAstapo cleared the building like they did Capitalism loves fascism

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.
