Command sent a ground robot to the area, and within hours, it began evacuating the wounded under intense fire.
An enemy FPV drone carried out an almost direct hit. Yet, the ground robot completed the mission, saving another life.

Donate towards robots to save more lives.

They can blow up boats in the Caribbean and murder everyone on board and no proof of threat is required.

Yet if you traffic and rape children you get away with it because there’s “not enough proof”.

That’s rape culture.

That’s money and power and corruption.

You are not a "human resource", you are a human being.

For people new to the workforce, Human Resources Departments might be staffed by nice people, but they work for the interests of management.

If you want an entity that looks out your interests as a worker, that's what labor unions are for.

40 dozen tamales, over $1,300 cash to street vendors, and food to the community.

Highlight of the night: spotted a cotton candy vendor outside a grocery store so we bought everything he had and sent him home with a dozen tamales.

This is mutual aid.

I love this idea. I hope folks will reply-post their cards to this thread when they get a Bingo this year.
Every year I make a BINGO sheet of smaller goals for the new year, rather than one big one. Here's a blank one for 2026 if you wanna do one for yourself.

I’m a trained social worker. I worked with cases of CSA and other horrifying traumas. I didn’t learn til 6 months before I burnt out how dangerous and cumulative vicarious and secondary trauma are.

You don’t want this in your head and you don’t want it to live in your body. It doesn’t leave.
And as several folks are saying in the comments: curiosity about the Epstein files is understandable, but just for yourself personally, think carefully about what you want in your head forever.

It will come to you later in upsetting ways that you may not expect.

I promise you- people think they want to know the lurid details- they don't. I spent 30 years reading accounts of CA/SA and that shit never leaves your head.
I'm interested in knowing who was on public payroll and didn't do their jobs. And I'm happy to wait for the truth so it sticks.

That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively.

But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?

When you’re chronically ill, the holidays hit different.

They’re exhausting, isolating and lonely.

It’s important to set and hold boundaries.

Make your own traditions and find ways to cultivate joy.

How much longer are Blue States going to pay federal income taxes when we are constantly being denied federal funds? And when our tax dollars are being used to fund crimes against humanity? Sincere question…
I remember President Biden saying he was the president for all Americans not just the ones that voted for him.

The hatred of one party was so deep it drove those awful people to put Trump back in the White House because they hated Democrats.

This is eugenics.

This is a disability rights issue.

This is what we’ve been warning about for years.

“Choose your baby” is another way of saying “eliminate the undesirables”.

It’s out in the open and it’s wrong.
