In the US, fentanyl is out and cocaine is back. Fascinating read on the Mexican drug lords benefiting from the switch.

Every flight anywhere from RDU goes through some airport in Texas. I've just stopped paying attention where. If they switched the flight at the gate to Zimbabwe I wouldn't notice until someone started speaking Swahili

is there anyone out there in the void who knows if anything from the #crfh forums survives? I'm talking about from the before times, from keenspot and even before that

In your teens or twenties, the realization that, with a screwdriver, some pump music and some willpower, you can assemble and disassemble most every piece of furniture sold should be empowering.

Part of being human is both having the instinct that you can't cut it at some job, and yet convincing yourself that you could, given ..x, y or z conditions.
Maybe you could - people are impressively adaptable! But either way, your ego is protecting you from the possibility of failure

most people are sensible enough, even if they might have wanted to be a firefighter or an astronaut as a kid, to say "well I'm not cut out for that, but I can be happy doing what I'm doing now and making my own path in life."

In Upcoming Recession news, Duke University just announced a whole skew of cost cutting measures. Hiring freeze, full travel restrictions etc., and noted this is only a first step. This goes beyond the steps they've taken as a result of the research funding cuts

Republicans want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting (tax cuts for the rich funded by healthcare cuts for the poor)
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

Like, if I was the Dems, I would blast this ad on every television set and all over social media say the admin wants you to have to pay to get the weather report. Micro transactions for a sunny day.

My toddler is vague in her understanding of what a princess is, but frequently uses the word 'stability' in a sentence.
Our friends think this is my programming of her, but I swear it's just her intense balance issues

We'll come back from this. The other side has no future. What we're seeing today is how long and punishing the trail we'll need to walk out if this will be. Our enemies are bound to lose
Like we *literally* had a guy doing a Nazi salute at the inauguration
And it mostly hasn't made political waves, relatively speaking
I'm not normally a doomer, and in a bit I'll return to my normal anti-dooming ways, but fuck man it really does seem like there's no coming back from this sometimes
