It's not a great look for the Nobel Committee to give a Peace Prize to someone who's openly begging the US for a coup.

My Canadian distributor has stopped shipping me books because UPS keeps charging them fees for brokerage even though they are non*tariffed. I spent hours on the phone with them and it was... Painful.
What a world.

Postal services in other countries have already cut off package mail to the US. Now UPS bails. All because of Trump's tariffs.

Churn that in your brain a bit. We live in a country so backward it's cut off from mail from the rest of the world.

I’m glad Dems are holding the line & fighting for healthcare. I don’t give a shit if a few white guys wanna elect the oyster boy. The governor is eminently more qualified for that race. If you wanted a younger progressive who actually has a record, Gideon was there last time. She got her ass kicked.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Watching him destroy the country to steal more money for him & his rich, evil friends makes me wonder wtf people thought “a businessman running the country” would look like. Have these people never once taken a breath in the US? Please never trust your brain again. It’s bad.

I asked a Google employee a while back why they ruined search by putting the AI results first. The response was that in their opinion, the decision makers likely knew it wasn't ready but they needed to try to compete.

Just bc a book contains a protagonist between 10 and 30, especially a female protagnoist, doesn't mean it's YA. Just bc the book is written by a woman (or someone you incorrectly assume is a woman), doesn't make it YA. Just bc a book is fun, written colloquially, or has romance doesn't make it YA.
