I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Meidas has a track record of great reporting, but it feels like they went off half-cocked on this one. These are CLEARLY different photos. Nearly the same moment, but different eye lines. I think there were two photographers. Could Jonathan Exley confirm this?
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

"Raúl" was picking oranges in Visalia CA. "We fill 5 bins in a 6 hours and get paid $24 per bin. This work is hard on our bodies as we need to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying 60 -80 lbs of oranges. But it's year round work that feeds our families." #WeFeedYou

Why can’t I find gluten free French fried onions anymore? I couldn’t find any last year either. Kroger used to have a good one. I’m not gluten free, but I always try to make a GF&V green bean casserole for my work potluck in December. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care.

There are over a million insect species (that currently have scientific descriptions, at least), and they're *everywhere* ... under rocks, on flowers, around lights at night, in tree bark, and more.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt.

At what point do the people decide “No more” and start de-arresting their neighbors?
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.
