I would be doing exactly the same thing, except I'd have time for a social life and actual savings income I could use to afford a house in the half-a-million market, all on less stress

The acclaimed writer Tom Stoppard has died, at 88. For the award-winning playwright, “art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself,” Kenneth Tynan wrote, in 1977. www.newyorker.com/magazine/197...

Sure, I love watching MM, badly dubbed by AI, in a completely obnoxious and uncanny valley commercial. We've replaced quality with a shit machine, there's only shit now, we all must eat shit so the economy doesn't crash.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

It's just really funny to me that Starbucks is using the British song about puking, as a Christmas advert

Would've thought they'd go with Inanalhaling

The Best Star Wars is the Clone Wars/Rebels Animated series arc, as it's the truest, twenty two minutes serial aimed at children, most consistent, expression of George Lucas' original concept of revival of Flash Gordon. All the movies are a bit messy in one way or another.

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Mr Lever, the soap guy, building picturesque homes for his workers to improve the quality of life, his family actually working in the business, and the homes being a terraced design that provides windows on all four sides, is such a contrast comparison of when business worked in/with/for community.

Y'all, Bungalow, comes from Bengali, it's from India/Bengal, credit to Phil Spencer, I actually learned something from media today

All serious and weighty conversations should take place near a field of sheep, point being that if you can maintain the weight of the conversation then it's warranted, but if you can't, you're probably taking yourself to seriously

Target: how do we turn around public perception of our brand? We need to do something that everyone will love...

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

UO: Despite the multiple genocides, and setting the stage for centuries of world conflict, The British Empire, had really good hat game; terrible people with fantastic hats. Ironically, Indian Empire, had equally good hat game. BBC Empires of Haters, I'd watch it.

If you have a small house and save everything, you're a packrat or hoarder, but if you have an Estate House and save everything, you're a Hereditary Dynasty

I think all those Princesse Diaries, Marry the Prince, rom-coms cooked a lot of people's brains when it comes to Monarchy. Like they watch those and think that's Monarchy, never understanding real Monarchy, like the Windsors, only works with a sword of Damocles over their head.

Let's make two lines, the Businesses that didn't give him money or step on the electoral scale can que up here, while those that did can Fck the fck off over the fck somewhere else, because nobody wants to hear about how he's hurting YOU

Please tell me Futurama did a Florence, the machine, joke...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

You know you're a nerd, when you notice that they've switched houses in the middle of the episode because the architecture is drastically different.

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/

Infrastructure, weak.

Trader Joe's switching 16oz bag of ground coffee with 14oz at same price, and regular trick of reversing location of the regular broth with the low sodium, are definitely on my shit list. Really excited for public grocery stores, because building at least one fair model is better than regulation.

I once had an interview for a tech job, and I was so complimentary of my current boss, that the interviewer went and had a phone interview with her, while I was there. Which wasted everyone's time, she made more than they were offering for the position. /1

Peerage, is just Hillbillies, with legitifmacation

I adore, Grand Designs, it's like a compendium of reasons not to build your own Dream House. Like, I just clocked an, at this point in the episode, 400 pound home, situated directly beneath high voltage energy lines. If the mortgage, or the build, don't kill ya, the cancer will!

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

They aren't caving because people will go hungry, they're caving because people are prioritizing food over things like debt payments and rent, which is a real threat to the Investment economy built on debt. They're caving for Billionaire donors, not kids.

You know, not properly talked about, but you used to be able to go to a newsstand, and just buy a copy of the magazine or paper. Now you need subscription, which is always broken down for you as pittance a week, yet you have to pay upfront a big chunk, followed by a promise it'll increase next year

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Tater tots should have edges, so they don't roll, surely one could extrude potatoes into a nice rhombus, hexagon, or trapezoid. Stabilize the tots.

Every company I have ever worked for, was understaffed. You just go look at old pictures and the size and robustness of the work force, and they had machines too. Automation just created more work down the line, but we never shifted workers, they just cut, and cut, and cut.

"I'm a cheap asshole, but I'm totally going to spend millions, possibly billions, to move my business out of the business capital of the US. Oh, wait a minute, you thought I was a serious person?"

This is a really bad thing, and I'm not sure I can articulate, but it's bad.

K-Pop Idols Reportedly Forming A Union To Fight Back Against Harsh Industry Conditions

Let's find out what the freeloaders think about having to pay their fair share - Billionaire owned publications

Everyone in Europe coming up with written language Welsh: We must have a few silent consonants to Fck with the English French: Hold my wine Germans: ::: Uncontrolled Laughing::: Russians, late and inebriated: What, are we making alphabet? No, that's all wrong, this is the way

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The combined wealth of the 10 richest people in America jumped $698 billion over the past year. This figure was supercharged by Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to his fellow billionaires. www.thedailybeast.com/wealth-of-am...

Congress isn't deadlocked, it's on PAID Vacation, and Democrats are fine to pass a budget so long as it doesn't cut Health Insurance for millions of workers, to fund a tax break for Billionaires. But, Billionaire owned Politico probably got confused by the context of Truth.

CONSERVATIVES, hate America, is the headline. We're not having a problem with Socialists, Neo-Liberals, Democrats, storming the Capitol, shooting politicians, or building private armies, trying to relight the Crusades, it's Evangelicals. It's not Unions killing jobs it's Billionaires. CONSERVATIVES

The West Wing, only it isn't the Government, it's a High End Nursing home, where a bunch of Immigrants have to take care of an aging Elite, bunch of Racists, and their spoiled, ignorant, children, who are just using the dimentia and decrepitude, to look the old bags, and be horrible to the workers

What's funny, is actual INTELLIGENCE, hallucinates, in fact our brains reconstruct our own memories, which is why witness testimony is so often useless on its own. Hard drives, networked data, searchability, and redundancy, were all the point and purpose of the Internet and computers.

"Look, I read, The Great Gatsby, of course I read it, it was the assignment, but if I stand here and give you a report on it, that's just going to ruin it for everyone else."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Just love it when I'm watching a series that literally belongs to your brand but then you stop streaming it, so I have to go to another streamer. I've already dropped P+ and Disney, so well done Peacock, I'm planning my exit and buying the things I like on Blue Ray. Keep trying to run w/out viewers

Republicans are doing Socialism, huh

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
