(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

Whenever someone says “you just don’t understand economics” they’re basically saying:
“You can’t just turn the orphan-grinding machine ‘off!’ You fool! You complete imbecile!”

America does have a distinct culture and voice.
The problem is the people that get all bent about “PReSErvINg OuR CuLtURe” hate all the things that make American culture great and deny and whitewash the pluralistic origins that make that voice unique.

I keep saying this, but some of y'all keep dooming and saying that somehow Trump can somehow stop the new session of Congress or Johnson can take steps to stop it. Nope. That's not how it works. (always pay attention to @kristin-wilson.bsky.social). Trump is not a god-emperor.
Remember that the current House essentially dissolves (they adjourn sine die) on January 3, 2026 right before noon. When they gavel back in, the House Clerk is in charge until the House elects a Speaker.
Point being, those in charge right now will not be running the show on Jan 3.

Calling Dems' minimal demands "unreasonable," Homan:
- says racial profiling is "just not occurring," contrary to many videos everyone has seen
- lies about "assaults" against officers to justify masks
- says "they all have placards" about what agency they're working for, suggesting that's enough

Homan: "When they say 'stop racial profiling' -- that's just not occurring. ICE will briefly detain and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion. It has nothing to do with racial profiling."

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

If you've ever looked at, say, UK politics and wonder how they got themselves into such a weird, twisty, ineffective knot...
a key reason is that people are trying to do politics without the "woke" so as not to offend the fascist-curious amongst us.
The results are...not great, no.

Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with “woke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.
You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.
