It's three times harder for Democratic ‘blue’ states to get disaster funding under #trump “An analysis found that since returning to the Oval Office, Trump has approved only 23 percent of requests for disaster declarations from states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators […]

MAD Magazine XD #mad

I'm pretty sure Hegseth's Pastor saying he prays God kills him - him being James Talarico - says quite a bit about Hegseth, his Pastor, & what type of warped relgion they subscribe to. None of it good. This is incredibly vile & dangerous rhetoric to spew by anyone. Especially a so called […]

Where does the money go if you buy Harry Potter books or support the franchise by watching the HBO series or visiting attractions at Universal Studios theme parks? Potter author J.K. Rowling has established a new fund, using her personal funds, that “offers legal funding support to individuals […]

If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.

I don't think enough people are talking about how Project 2025 calls for the privatization of the TSA. A good way to show those union employees the door and top clear the way for that to happen would be to get them to quit bc they're not being paid. Not hard to envision the ultimate plan is a […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RVLara23/116286424714730543 Maybe we shouldn't have let a guy with a littered trail of bankruptcies run the USA not only once, but twice. We're idiots.

Trump made America insolvent in less than one year. But sure give him 200b for his funsie war. We're so fucked.

"The U.S. #government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the #Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total #media silence. The numbers: $6.06 […] [Original post on newsie.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RVLara23/116285799082056970 My favorite thing of all might be The Great Gatsby poster on the walls of a classroom. You know. Before the world went super crazy and conspired to ban every semi-interesting book from every school to "saaaaaaave the students" 🙄

With the death of JVDB I've been dabbling back into Dawson's Creek, pretty much for the first time since it was on tv. There's some really amazing nostalgia in here even though it's not really that old of a show - relatively speaking. VCRs, Video Rental Stores, 90s music, NO CELL PHONES. What […]

JD Vance raised money yesterday at an event in Austin, TX hosted by Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel’s Palantir co-founder. “To get into the event, donors will have to pledge $50,000 per person — or $250,000 to be a co-host.” 1/ www.kxan.com/news/texas-p...

I think we need to talk about the OVERWHELMING amount of Podcasts that are currently out in the world. Like, even if books, tv, sports, movies, shows, work and music didn't exist I STILL wouldn't have enough time to listen to everything I'd like to hear. Who has that much time????

Wooo eeee Sundress SZN comes early in Texas. And the dresses were out in full force at the salad place for lunch today. My goodness, ladies. (Fans self) 😍🔥😍🔥 🤣

I have .....so many questions.

Right on brand.

in Forks there are two genders Twilight and Sasquatch

74% are concerned about their “personal data being accessed and used inappropriately by the government” (up from 72%) Years of data breaches, shady tracking practices, and dangerous misuse by data brokers have chipped away at our confidence in organizations to protect our data.

Chocolate, peanut butter, and pretzel rods. The Devil’s Triangle of snacks. So good.

Spurs are just whoopin the Heat. A complete ass kicking. It wasn't all that long ago this was the best matchup in the NBA. Things change fast in sports. Anyway, the Spurs are good again and Miami sucks.

Dynamic pricing is such a scam. I was at Best Buy looking at something and in 10 min it jumped $200. lol

Being a big sports fan, it's all the official sports accounts that bother me the most. They way they are active & promote & discuss & use Twitter as if it's a totally normal site that hasn't been turned into right wing propaganda full of lies & misinformation & bad actors of all types. That […]

I'm loving the evolution of Mitch as HC. For a long time he seemed to just be having fun out there. Maybe je didn't even know if they'd give him the job. Now that he has it and now that he knows he has a Championship caliber team, you can tell he's really COACHING now.

I hate a good majority of these whacky NBA uniforms anymore, but you know, these Heat unis are pretty good. Think they really nailed 90s Miami nostalgia.

Haha took this yesterday when I was in the pool on mushrooms so I could decide later if it really looked that amazing or it were just the mushrooms. It was just the mushrooms.

A+ This was an EXCEPTIONAL adaptation of the novella. Absolutely loved it start to finish. So much better than House of the Dragon. Worth the watch.

Holy cow, real baseball starts this week.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

ICE Support is a fucking hilarious way to term this bullshit. Anyway, glad my city is off the hook for the moment, anyway.

The Office cold open in Nepotism where they lip syc to Nobody But Me is definitely one of the best cold opens in the show Hilarious.

We’re at the ICE agents in airports stage of authoritarianism 🇺🇸

Really stunned by this Texas Longhorns run. Talk about out of nowhere. It totally figures - after all the good teams they've had over the years and all the failures - naturally, one of the worst and least exciting tourney teams they've ever had is the team that is making a big run. It's very […]

@christopherbrown RC walked by near us tonight and he has a huge green alien face sticker on his notebook. We laughed out loud.

I love my city so much. Two nights ago a racist old lady was caught texting shitty ugly things at a Spurs game. Tonight at the Spurs game, there were CRAZY HISPANIC FANS t shirts, Mexican flags, a mariachi band, Mexican music, salsa dancing and an absolute love letter to the wonderful […]

Fell into free lower level Spurs tickets for tonight. Even against a crappy opponent I can't turn that down. Might be my last chance to see this team in person this year. Feeling blessed and lucky. Gonna be fun! 🔥

Not holding my breath for a monumental UTSA upset today - it's a real shame they drew such a ridiculously better opponent 🙄🙄🙄 - but it will still be cool to see those women on an NCAA Tourney court today. Birds Up, ladies! 🤙🤙🤙

How could we POSSIBLY know this billionaire who cares about nothing but himself would leave a trail of wreckage all across the state once he got here?????? What a Scooby Doo Mystery!!!!!! It's such a shock! Mercy mercy me […]

Essex County Council is planning to charge people to reserve library books, which is generally appalling, but also feels like an extra tax on people who a) know exactly what they want to read, who could go 'might as well just buy the book instead' and/or b) live somewhere with either a tiny […]

Here's how I know the algorithm on the big socials is completely fucked. I'll make a comment on a post and then weeks later I'm still getting daily likes on my comment. That SO RARELY happens in the Fedi.

Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander Harris in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has died at age 54, his family says. Here's more from @Variety https://flip.it/2UuMJa #television #tv #nicholasbrendon #buffy #buffythevampireslayer #rip #inmemoriam

Literally NEVER the obit we want. Never.

No way did Nicolas Brendan die the same week the Buffy reboot got cancelled. Motherfucker.
