Okay. So, these things pop up on cars around here periodically. I usually scoop them up and toss them.

Who would hand these out at Halloween? I mean, that's some next-level "no fun allowed".

Reading through the replies and I am SO SO SO.glad none of you have apparently ever gotten THESE for Halloween.

Nearly a year after the 2024 election, Democrats are still trying to figure out what went wrong.

In the midst of this soul-searching, a new piece of advice has appeared: “Don’t say climate change.”

Democratic politicians have largely abandoned climate talk

“There’s no obvious electoral upside."

The language that politicians always use to respond to allegations of racism, such as "I'm not racist in my heart," is always premised on the idea that there is a pure, stable interior self that can be abstracted from the way it acts in the world. We are all post-Enlightenment Protestants.

A 9th-grader just told me a joke:

What does the F stand for in John F Kennedy??

Nothing. They added it after he died, to pay respect.

(What's funniest to me is a 13 year old knowing some dumb reference from when they were three. Internet culture is wild.)

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.
