If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Are the Chicago Bears the real Toronto Blue Jays we made along the way?

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

I spent a few days in Buffalo, where Trump's sweeping health care cuts are already closing facilities and leaving people in pain. One organizer told me: "A cut that is as big as this, in terms of the human suffering that will create–it’s actually immeasurable." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

no matter how much you tell yourself that you're prepared for IV contrast making it feel like you've peed your pants, goddamn, it really feels like you just peed your pants

An awful lot of people, including in the media, are not as clued up on FOIL. In addition to this I’d suggest people really dig into their state level FOIL, especially freelancers.

The AJC is not only staging a marketing event touting powerful people it covers, but one heads the school that recently censored a prominent student journalist over 'Cop City' in one of the most hilarious yet ominous cases in years. ( saportareport.com/georgia-tech... ) www.ajc.com/about-us/202...

Literally no one likes leaf blower noises. Societally, what are we doing

The system as it is right now not only allows this to happen, it seems to have incentivized it.

Thanks for your vote, Carol

if anyone needs a refresher on what the heck is up with this private equity firm, here's what I wrote on them ⬇️

my neighbor has been listening to and wailing along to the same Rihanna song all morning Now they’re just doing the chorus on repeat

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

JUST IN: we have the early vote from Roswell, Georgia. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson trails Dem challenger Mary Robichaux, 58% to 42% so far. That's out of 8,949 votes counted. In November, the early vote was roughly half of the ballots, and (as you'd expect), the GOP was stronger on Election Day.

"An @atlantaciviccircle.org investigation in May revealed that Dickens’ office had been using over 75% of the dedicated fund for housing-related debt service and payroll..." Atlantans will get what they voted for as their tax $$s get funneled into slush funds while the city continues its collapse

The White House just launched a "Media Bias" tracker to supposedly monitor fake news. It's really a hit list of reporters & outlets covering issues in ways Trump & the admin dislike. Flagrant attack on independent thought, freedom of the press & free speech. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I loathe reality tv/competition shows but fine, I’ll buy into the hype and watch Game of Wool.

Roswell…Georgia.

Snitching to corporate and getting 30 people fired is not mandatory — rats have to make that choice for themselves.

Yeah that can only end well

Take out the trash day

ICE activity has increased in Sunset Park, Bushwick, and Corona (non-exhaustive list) and it seems to be because people aren’t attending their court dates — either due to not receiving notice or intentionally skipping because they know people are getting disappeared at 26 Federal Plaza.

oh boy

Oh shit

It’s as though Aunt Bea had hijacked a national political party.

it would be one thing if schumer was out there promoting this "deal". like that's just fucking expected at this point. but no, it's just these handful of rogue fuckers who know they can get away with it. and it has to be them bc this is SO unpopular.

Utterly clueless.
