I *do* recommend costco as a place with relatively low cost lenses, and a fun variety of frames, though with a wide price range. Small local places too! I *don't* recommend anywhere owned by luxxotica, like lenscrafters, pearle vision, or target optical thebrandhopper.com/brand/brands...

On top of that, it looks like the founders have worse and worse (read: harmful) political stances at headquarters in NYC. This is both a "shame on you" post, and an optician's recommendation to go somewhere else for your frames and lenses.

As someone (an optician) who used to work there, Warby Parker was almost always my first rec for glasses, and I deeply appreciated their ethical impact and transparency to employees. I no longer recommend the company in any way, as they are partnering with google and samsung to make AI glasses.

“We’re killing all the right people.” —Lindsey Graham

When discussing the House 20-week abortion ban, which would deny survivors of rape access to safe and legal abortion, Senator Lindsey Graham publicly told his colleagues: "I’m going to need your help to find a way out of this definitional problem with rape." Anyways he's dead.

The nurses strike is over and now they are being refused entry as retaliation. We must liquidate all the cops and private security during and after the revolution! 🐖🪓 #ACAB

We heard pretty similar claims in Minneapolis, and they were also lies! Funny how that works.

"Reforms and accountbility" will never work. Even the pope understands this

I’ve never figured out why keeping businesses in business during a long construction project isn’t just built in to the cost of the project. Set up a fund at the state or local level. Cities shouldn’t have to choose between necessary infrastructure builds or viable businesses.

What if Hakimi learned how to aim

This nation is all about guns, but none of em could shoot tonight huh

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

“I’m not hurting anyone. We just don’t want data centers.” “I just graduated from Stoklosa Middle School. I am the future.” www.bostonherald.com/2026/06/30/l...

These mercenaries make money solely by brutalizing, terrorizing, kidnapping, and torturing members of your community. And it's your tax money they are putting in their pockets. ICE cannot be reformed. Every single person associated with the agency is there for the express purpose of doing evil.

OPE Bosnian coach my bad

Damn, that was a good free kick though.

US coach gonna learn how to chill? Or we gonna get another red card?👀

I DO think that red card was appropriate. That kind of rake down the leg is a yellow on its own, but landing on an ankle like that can just fucking break it, whether it was an accident or not.

If buying isn't owning...

No awoo today

Me and Girlfriend after today's matches

So now we're gonna watch the Paraguay - Germany highlights just to round out our cardio for the week

I was not looking forward to watching Morocco do penalty kicks but somehow they didn't even do it the worst? They wouldn't have scored any more shots if Verbruggen had been 20 feet away

Me and Ouahbi are reliving nightmares from the U20 cup this summer I am dyingggggg

Van Dijk continues to be an impeccable defender and Verbruggen has made 3 absurdly good, game saving goals and I love watching them both play in the PL. And I really need them both to stop that for just a sec.

Morocco I love you please stop giving me this kind of stress

OH LOOK OUR FIRST YELLOW CARD for..... cool. Awesome.

I don't even care why anymore, can somebody please take Van Hecke off the field now

At this point the only charitable thing I can imagine is that the ref forgot his cards at home and doesn't want to admit it. Please, let it be something more than just FIFA making their case to be the most corrupt entity in the world

What the fuck did Van Hecke do to get the ref to allow that dirty fucking tackle on a tear straight at the goal? I don't think we're playing the same game anymore

Dude's literally bleeding from the head! We didn't have to be here! This one wasn't pointed aggression, but I am begging youuuuuuuu

Do we not think that when we've got Morocco and Nederlands in their first knockout match... we should have much stricter calls? This is gonna be real ugly if they're not gonna call shit like they would ANYWHERE else

This piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates mainstreams how America’s genocide in Gaza is part of our white supremacist history, and that the Dem Party’s continuation of that racist brutality abroad is morally unacceptable. Coates hopes VP Harris’ can learn from this moment: www.vanityfair.com/story/the-ne...

I know space debris is bad, but I'm pretty ok with catapulting the richest egotistical chucklefucks into space to die so the rest of us can get on with treating this planet like we want to have a future

Finding queerness in animals to defend that it's natural feels like playing the wrong kind of defense. Why should you or I care if it's natural? You know what's perfectly natural? Dysentery. Malaria. Appendicitis.

And all the next day Toad played music for his seeds.

I'm pretty good at remembering the content of things, but not great at remembering the name of the thing, so people will ask me if I know X or am familiar with Y, and all I can say is "great question" But Girlfriend just asked if I know about Wugs, and I think maybe this one isn't on me

The implication of this "New York Times" headline is that "goy" is simply a slang term used by Generation Z now, no longer attached to antisemitic implications. I think this is not only wrong, but rather dangerous for the newspaper to be printing.

"A gaping hole through the protections of the Fourth Amendment": facial recognition, license plate cameras, myriad phone tracking devices, commercial data, and the broad authority to use these tools give federal agencies unprecedented surveillance abilities. minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/18/m...

We’ve never read a justification for GenAI use in video games that didn’t sound like flailing after their hand got caught in the jar. “Oh we don’t use it for assets so it doesn’t count.” “It makes our lives easier.” “We’re still 100% human created.” Running through the greatest hits to stop scrutiny
