"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

I know it’s almost certainly war against Venezuela, but what if it’s incurable terminal illness??

Really hard to believe that I—40, bald, and never having gone out of my way to do any form of skincare—appear to have aged more gracefully than the 28 year old Karoline Leavitt.

Just started it this weekend. I’ve never really enjoyed turn-based games but I do enjoy this one so far.
I am pleased to inform you all that the French Game is, in fact, Quite Good.

Reminds me of a more stylish Lost Odyssey. Also, you are rewarded for beating up mimes.

A mass shooting in Australia and a stabbing in America. Everything is topsy-turvy. Nothing makes any sense. Oh, thank God, there was also a mass shooting in America.

Law enforcement loves to make some bullshit up and call it “scientific”
if anyone brings up Gait Analysis to you at all outside of saying "isn't this some bullshit?" cut all ties with them immediately and change your phone number. this advice would have saved The Blaze a lot of heartache too.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

In late stage capitalism, having the ostensibly more left major party support your right to die when you are no longer useful to capital rather than supporting your right to pain medication, healthcare, counseling, housing—ie your right to LIVE—is fitting
