NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

In case everything I typed doesn’t make any sense:

As you celebrate Mamdani’s victory, I want to take in that it was not a victory for the Democratic Party. He won in spite of the party.

Dick Cheney's death came about 30 years too late to prevent most of the harm he caused in his life, but I'll take him being dead over not.

Short version because people aren't reading the blog - "dislikes", essentially just a "not interested" button, private, doesn't effect anyone but yourself - "Social proximity", puts people you know at the top of comments - "Reply context", shows people full thread before they reply

"I need scissors, sixty-two"

idk about yall but I'm REALLY good at being annoying 🥰 can't wait to pull out a list of 1000 different games and anime and go through each one individually with the poor innocent call worker on the line to find out what's "illegal" according to MasterCard

I am so very tired of the dooming. I'm not talking about people expressing despair. I'm not talking about people helping to prepare others for fascist tactics. I'm talking about the people who slap down a comment like "Nobody is ever going to be brought to justice for this" and smugly sit back.

Fell asleep on the couch and had a dream about some D&D-y party fighting a wizard who cast REMOVE SPECIEAL MATTER on the rogue and yoinked out any organs that had any evolutionary ties to pigs so the rogue immediately collapses, blood everywhere, yelling "HE TOOK MY PIG BITS" at the frantic cleric

Chesterton, maddeningly, had it right and people like that one have it completely wrong. bsky.app/profile/uber...

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well. We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.

So, is Quora straight-up owned by Russia, or is it just packed to the gills with people lubelessly jerking off to the idea of mass violence, and the idea that Russia is somehow not militarily incompetent?

Oh for Christ's sake, why is Jared Leto trending

I maintain that Hawkeye's intro as Ronin in Endgame would have been better if he had been obliterating a Klan gathering rather than random Yakuza.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

People repeating some lazy old bullshit, so let's lay out the reality: Netanyahu is a genocidal monster. Hamas is not a brave band of freedom fighters, they're an Israeli weapon, bought and paid for. Civilians are never an acceptable target in warfare. Two facts and a moral base.

Stephen Miller is like if you ordered a skin tag from Wish dot com.

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard. She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

Gavin Newsome is a Nazi bitch.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

just gonna put this here

wizard frog is insane

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

It's obvious that financial punishment is not enough to deter vile behavior on the part of corporations anymore. Bring back the days when CEOs got arrested for harming the world, and when companies were forced to fall in line with fair trade, or be broken up.

If one person starts yelling, it’s easy from there. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to start yelling at a Nazi

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

The Doomsayers are really fucking reaching tonight. Straying into useful idiot territory with how much they're bending over backwards to make Trump's idiot babble into some secret genius plan. Idiots.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

ICE must be abolished, and the brownshirts in it must account for their actions

My sister is a comms specialist. The agency supports the use of ChatGPT for 'first drafts': by the time they get to her desk for approval, she spends more time now fixing mistakes than ever before. LLM AI is dead. It's just that nit enough people have noticed yet.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

The very SECOND this administration is out of office, DOGE needs to have its offices locked-down and taken off-network to prevent them from deleting evidence of their crimes.

Reposting from March 2025. Time to bring it back.

"Perfection is the enemy of progress" does not apply to the lives, rights, and wellbeing of other humans. If you DARE ask trans people to take a back seat AGAIN, then your ideas have no place in shaping the future.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

I'm not one who thinks punitive justice is the way forward in building a better society... but there is a line, and that line is inflicting mass harm and dismantling a country. The world will not be cleaving to old barbarisms by jailing the entire Republican hate machine. Cancer's gotta be cut out.

Another indie animation, another new crop of people framing their personal taste as a matter of morality. Christ, people, just don't watch what you don't like.
