Doordash only became essential after women joined the workforce, leaving men no other way to obtain food. But nobody wants to talk about that

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

feels like a microcosm of how all tech ceos operate when i consider that if i say "i coached a guy who became an ncaa D1 champ, is a pro athlete now, holds a world record, and has made multiple world championship teams" thats 100% true. and its also 100% true i had 0 responsibility for any of that

had to have been literally tens of millions of us that said not taking jan 6th seriously re: holding any of the actual power players accountable would lead to straight up nonsense like the treason-fund trump wants to set up

i think if people are genuinely concerned about ageism they should be directing their energy at the people like Waters who are living up to every negative stereotype/expectation regarding dinosaurs holding office. holding power for the sake of holding power

one day we will need a group like the one that makes the trump-epstein statues, except this groups entire focus will be making chuck schumers grave have nothing but this quote engraved on it

yeah this is a horseshit DQ. id be raging if i were the coach, and frankly if i were coaching the team that was given the team title instead, id have our team immediately take the trophy from the officials and bring it over to the team that got robbed

checked out that mallory mcmorrow podcast interview and going through everything she said - about healthcare, israel, palestine, the works, her vision of the senate, of political change in general is, 'we just keep talking to each other long enough until something shakes loose i guess'

kind of insane how it's 2026 and we are only just now starting to get electeds who, when referring to reagan, will not speak of him in positive terms

question: if i email an elected or expert or whatever about an issue i am "investigating", clarify i am not a journalist or publication, and they respond in a way that would clearly be considered "off-record" or say its something they wouldnt be allowed to say officially/publicly, whats the most

have we figured out yet why CEOs of tech companies (including websites/apps/whatever) are so consistently the most evil AND stupid CEOs by such a wide margin, when CEOs are already a high level of evil and stupid by default?

It's kind of ironic that Democrats think they're acting responsibly by tamping down this kind of justified anger instead of channeling it, but it's really the opposite. Leads to disaffection, radicalization

Social Services: ~2.1m Parks & Rec: ~800k Libraries: ~1.5m Police + debt generated by police: ~13m americans are so bad at every level of governance its actually stunning

"why cant lewiston afford anything?" because of this! and this looks better than it is, because a lot/most of the "debt servicing" allotment is also driven by the police, but not attributed to them

need to re-up this because i am learning that a lot of you do not know the important lore implications of 9/11 occurring in the cars cinematic universe, or that technically this implies princess diana existed and died by intentionally driving into a wall

Meanwhile Maine still charges up to 21 cents/minute for calls at county jails #mepolitics

yup, and most elected positions generally - the #1 reason people dont run for things is cost of election + low salary = only a rich can afford the position. my hometowns mayor sal was 4.5k since the 90s, in 2022 raised to 7k. that is $583/mo to run town of 40,000 people.

"we have a real problem with so many of our public intellectuals/pundits/whatever being total fucking idiots" and "we have a real problem with reactionary, low-info centrism being treated as thoughtful, serious politics" are two statements describing the same exact problem

the better meme would be to have it further zoom out, revealing the post itself, and refer to the period of the death of human intellect, when maga became scared of books and liberals became incapable of intellectual expression without AI slopshit

fiery hot take perhaps: The Leftovers is not at all a bad show but also a lot of its depth and profundity only exists/hits if the first time you had to deal with seemingly meaningless, unexplainable tragedy was after the age of 30 or watching this show, DEEPLY unsatisfying otherwise

wouldnt you know it, trading longterm tax revenue for a one-time addition to the budget did not end well for schools a decade later (also high is subjective, but sun journal again doing light propaganda with turnout article title: 2500 people voted in a city of 37,000 lol)

republicans are evil and anyone that wants the republican party to be "strong" or exist at all is evil www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

the way you know "pre2016 GOP and post2016 GOP are very different things" is baby brained carkey jangling bullshit is that everyone who makes the argument carefully dances around the fact these are the policy outcomes the GOP has wanted for 50 years all his GOP enablers predate 2016

went into pete davidsons joke without context, 10/10

the justice department is building a list of targets that they intend to go after with the full force of the law, both medical practitioners who provide gender affirming care and the patients who received it. this is a program that is clearly genocidal in intent

i don't think you should be able to edit your bluesky posts. i do think that you should be able to edit the posts of anyone else who has at least 100,000 followers. the rest of you have put up with our crap for long enough and honestly it's about time we were taken down a peg

okay time to discuss the REAL HOT TOPIC that i know all of you are extremely interested in: ishowspeed ran a 4x100, and us track nerds were correct that Speed would get cooked against not just shacharri or lyles but any good sprinter - LETS BREAK IT DOWN 1. he got the baton last by a mile - this

whats very funny is the only prominent elected dem i can think of that even brushed up against being basically "professorial" would be... Obama!

Polis remains a strong candidate for the Dem with the most negative WAR in the entire country as the governor of what has become a solidly blue state just an absolute clown, freeing an unrepentant wannabe election thief at the behest of a failing tyrant with a 35% approval rating

i dont believe LLMs are ontologically evil but i do think the way they so cognitively neuter people so quickly and effectively has absolutely no technological parallel in history

Support @archive.org as it's the actual only repository of history

war with china is such a weird topic; some real freaks basically fantasize about it and idk how there is any view of such a hypothetical beyond "the worst possible thing that could happen" guys we are running out of ammo in a failed war vs iran, it would not go well!

being serious though: no. there arent really good arguments for an edit button "id have to delete it and repost it" - okay and? you dont get paid for views here, and its 300 characters lol proofreading is a good habit and theres no rational reason to discourage it (continued)

This is a form of psychosis. These people will burn the world if they have their way.

we're seeing if grogu's entire body can fit inside the gom jabbar box

We’ve talked a lot about this on KTC. I don’t think enough people understand how much of what they see is astroturfed. Unsure if it’s 90% as stated here, but it’s a lot. The only reason we notice now is because there’s so little regulation, they can just clumsily turn it into gig work.

so the abusive guy who said all the negative sentiment about joe biden and the economy was created by the media + the media dictates how people view things, now says an approval poll slightly lower than eric adams (from 2022) is "painful reality"? well yeah, he's a wrecker, thats what he does.

i have numbers on the local center in question if anyone is interested in some of the finances of a plasma center (n=1 obviously) there are severances dependent upon abiding by NDAs so ill say these numbers fell off a truck and i found them donations/wk went from 380 in 2023 to 604 in Q1 2026

for 4 or 5 months now i will save posts decrying bskys rude response to a link or article or whatever and then i check the twitter replies to the same post when im taking a dump at work, and i still havent found one single example where the bsky response was meaner than or even comparable to twitter

when i worked at a grocery store in college i would have to go dump all the fryer grease in a big nasty fryer grease dumpster each night and in the summer the smell was so powerful you felt dirty and gross just being near it and i think of it every time i have to check something on twitter

its hard to get excited about more prominent dems tepidly embracing maybe sort of talking about expanding SCOTUS when it really just continues a decade+ trend of "too little, too late" policy ideas

when i pointed out a couple years ago that a big part of why these apps are Very Bad was not just normalizing the absolute worst concepts in dating but that the business underlying the apps *relies on not being very good at its stated goal of finding compatible dates* people got very mad at me

i dont know what or who a jesse farrar is

i kinda love this because i think people largely have actually been pretty clear on what they were expecting (the storylines that the show set up to be completed and paid off, basic stuff) so instead he dismisses a strawman no one asked for. bro no one on earth wanted an episode on starlights dad!!

if every month you post 2000 times, get blocked by 1800ppl, and block *one* person, realize: you are not being harassed you are not being dog-piled *YOU* are a troll *YOU* are harassing communities and being a crybully also just standard abuser stuff so its sus how many on here defend it

In 2024 piles of rocks were spread out on sites around Pittsburgh that were used for tent encampments. Curious about who was responsible for the displacement tactic, and how officials were talking about such efforts, Jordana Rosenfeld put in a public records request to the city and county.

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

If US wealth were spread equally over all households, the poorest 50% of households today would get *$1.2 million* richer on average. The next-poorest 40% of households would get $300k richer on average. Only the richest 10% of Americans would lose any wealth, at all. Calculations and data source:
