12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for.
But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Comey and James cases dismissed. Because Lindsey Halligan.
No legitimate prosecutor would manufacture charges against Trump’s political enemies, and one willing to failed.
Authoritarian abuses don’t work without capable personnel. Or much deeper corruption of the courts, which they don’t have.

NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.
DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

[Correction] Gmail can read your emails and attachments to power "smart features"
Did you know that Gmail can use your emails and attachments for its smart features? Here's how to check your settings.

Saw an article today describing the age of the average homebuyer as 59. It enraged me. So I thought of this image and determined every article quoting this NAR report was fucking chatgpt, and the average age is ... 40. Still enraging.

Seeing that a collection of retiring and not-up-for-reelection democrats provided the tiebreaking votes is just the shit-icing on the shit-cake.
They selected people who wouldn't take a hit to perform this act of cowardice, so democrats would look better next year.

For the millions who will lose coverage
