A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

"recently".
Knowing the way my memory works, it was probably like 8 years ago.

Mike Johnson de facto dissolving Congress tells Democrats they were right to go into the shutdown.

The White House was already ignoring Congress, usurping power of the purse, in one of the most egregious attacks on the Constitution in US history.

All voting for a budget would do is validate that.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

β€œDon’t want to lose SNAP? Tell the Dems to reopen the government!”

SNAP assistance gets cut in the big beautiful bill too.

Healthcare is slashed as well.

They’re withholding food for 40 million Americans to try and force the Dems to sign off on cutting food AND healthcare!

Saute one jar of Thai curry paste in a little oil till it's nice and fragrant. Add one can of coconut milk and stir till incorporated and nearly boiling. Add a hefty scoop of peanut butter and stir till incorporated. Add two cans of drained/rinsed chick peas. Stir till warm. Serve over rice.
NOM.

Meanwhile, I was scrolling TikTok a few minutes ago and came across a recipe that sounded good. And I happened to have everything I needed on hand, and it was almost dinner, so I made it! It's quite good!

I know the world is an absolute disaster right now, but I'm also finding I have less and less tolerance for the people in my life who are ALWAYS angry and can't let a moment go by without pointing out something negative.
It's ok to have joy, y'all.

Legit question for white Americans - how do I avoid the 30-50 feral tattoos that run into my yard within 3-5 minutes while my small kids play?

The only appropriately nerdy answers to this question are this, or "42".
a group of men are standing in a field and one of them is saying " i 'm 37 i 'm not old "
Alt: A GIF from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A peasant pulling a cart alongside King Arthur is saying "I'm 37. I'm not old."

The whole point of these articles is to undermine support for gay marriage by showing that some gays can be β€œhappy” in l heterosexual marriages and, therefore, all gays can be happy in sexless heterosexual marriages.

Samantha Wynn Greenstone knows her husband is gay. Yet they’ve been in a committed monogamous relationship for nearly 10 years.

They’re not alone. A new crop of couples are openly speaking about their mixed-orientation marriages, divorced from sexual attraction but not love. https://wapo.st/4nQtDmk

SO MUCH THIS!!!
We have a HUGE amount of lead time right now before we have to settle on one candidate.
No need to get engaged right now. Let's play the field, go on some dates, give ourselves time to spot those red flags before we're stuck with them.

A general election is a choice between limited options. But a primary season is where you set those options. You can recruit! Agitate! Pick somebody new! Run yourself!

The replies in this thread are worth reading. So many hot takes (in a fun way).

For me, the answer is spaghetti.
It's terrible and why would you use it when thin spaghetti is right there and is vastly superior? (And to be clear, angel hair is *too* thin and also terrible)
