starving people to get their way
The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.
So weird that "legal impediments" don't stop him from destroying the white house, grifting crypto "donations", or bombing people in boats for fun. I have never seen such awfulness in my lifetime.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?
Is this Ryan Gosling's dad?
They should put a leash on that thing.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:

“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.
done with these assholes
Spent the day looking at art, shopping for records, and going to the best little bookstore in Portland yesterday. It was an ideal day off. Please support independent stores and Selected Stories Books on Division Street is FABULOUS! #books #booksky #portland #bookshop #bookstore #bibliophile
I have heard that Michael's craft stores have bought the remnants of JoAnn's inventory. They might have them online?
I like that he doesn't quite know what he covered it up with

The internet is ephemeral as spider gossamer, hard copies people (not yer apes but important family photos and maybe the title to your house if your lucky enough to own one).
Napolean was an arse.
This explains the dropped crown! I had been picturing a van door with a thief swinging from it....
Some kids at a punk house in Portland wore safety vests and stole the pinball machine at the nearby 7-11, just loaded it into their white van and said it needed repairs. Same energy.
Like many of you, I am thinking that perhaps France woud like to hire me to help figure this thing out. I have watched a lot of Mrs Marple and Poirot and would have seen that ladder YESTERDAY.

Something soothing for thine eyes
'River by Moonlight' (1886) George Henry differed from the other members of the Glasgow Boys, who, at the time of this work, were painting naturalistic scenes inspired by Bastien-Lepage. Henry preferred compositions with designs focused on achieving an overall decorative effect.
