I'm *so* not perfect, politically or otherwise. That said, this = my online home, so act like you got some hometraining.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all opinions are my own, not a representation of any employer.

This would be great project
Super fun to watch Councilmembers try to articulate why a Little Free Library is just neighborly kindness, the sort of thing every suburban homeowner would welcome on their street, but something like a free food fridge is absolutely different and needs to go before the zoning board.

We all know that. He is pretending not to know it.
Food quality is not as good as if you can choose yourself. Produce may not be as good, exp dates can be closer than if you can shop in person. Delivery can be helpful but it’s not cheaper when you consider this and the driver tip.

I think "class traitors" is up there with "idea landlords" on the reality disconnect scale.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

This fucking sucks and is hostile af (yes, I get that this is the point). Our national parks are a treasure and I love sharing them with people. People visit the US specifically to see them. Nature should be open to everyone.

The National Park Service says it is going to start charging international tourists an extra $100 to enter popular parks. They will be left out of fee-free days, reserved for American residents.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

Already seeing prominent journalists on this site ignore this warning.

I’m telling y’all: follow reporters, not influencers.
PSA: There are some accounts on here that are essentially religion news *influencers,* meaning they pump out viral posts that contain information that is *sometimes* accurate, sometimes *partially* accurate, sometimes purely speculative, and sometimes just…false.

Follow religion reporters.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.
