I thought of a new t-shirt I want to wear and I put it on this site in case anyone else finds it funny too.

Oh, the irony.

I wonder how many so-called "concerned indvidiuals" arrived by private jet, and how many politicians are going to make noises, then do absolutely fuck all, about the disasters that await us all.

"Torrential rainfall in the Brazilian city of Belem flooded pavements outside the venue for the #COP30 climate talks. Scientists say climate change is making extreme weather events more common."

Looks like business world is finally waking up to what we’ve know for a long time: many companies are astroturfing the job market with fake job openings. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/11/ghost-job-postings-add-another-layer-of-uncertainty-to-stalled-jobs-picture.html

I am begging you, if you are a restaurant, you need to have a web presence other than Facebook and Instagram. I don't have those, and therefore can't see anything about your business!

Does anyone have a detailed breakdown of what's in the funding bill? (But higher than the text itself)

All I found was on #SNAP was "will fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, through Sept. 30, 2026."

Curious when the #OBBB Payment Error Rate scoring system was supposed to go in effect. In other words, did Senate D's get 9 months of relief for recipients and state budgets or not?

@lasagne not just one. Many of them. A Justice League, if you will. With this level of wealth concentration -- the Second Gilded Age with a vengeance -- if we aren't able to recruit the tiny handful of people with basically ALL the wealth, we are all pretty screwed, my friend. Feel free to research my claims and look at the data yourself. It really doesn't matter if you believe me or not; these are the facts on the ground right now. I'm not happy about it either.

@mekkaokereke @Balderdoordash I grew up in Germany near a US Army base in the 80s when the memory of liberation was still strong (even with the German population). I was friends with one US soldier in particular and remember him saying that black soldiers loved being stationed in Europe because there, they were Americans first and black second.

“I’ll just slip into something more comfortable,” I say, walking into the ocean.

@TheBreadmonkey if you're not keeping your spice jars sealed with slender chains of cold-wrought iron you deserve everything you've got coming

Apartheid state. (Posting the FT link despite paywall, as the mealy-mouthed BBC report didn't express the disparity in treatment so clearly. Mind you, the way we're going, by the end of the week the BBC will have given Ben-Gvir a regular column) https://www.ft.com/content/0271d0a1-38eb-4ae4-86c0-5558ba293458

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.
