A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

The Tories have selected a convicted former Neo-Nazi as a councillor. Here's why that reflects very poorly on Jeremy Corbyn.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Chicago's top federal prosecutor noted in a court filing that his office has already dropped charges in the case, implemented “robust root-cause changes” and started the process of reviewing over 1,00...

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

That line also makes mush out of the whole idea of Homer! It's exactly backwards: his writings are all we have to remember those who sang! If those who lived the Trojan War wrote their own accounts, we wouldn't need a later poet to do it!

The age of iron is struggling to rise, now is the time of alloys.

this isnt a comment on the work as a whole but if i had written the line "our age of bronze is collapsing" and it was viewed by millions of people id probably seek death

During this time and after, he was also an admin for Poast, a subset of vile Fediverse instances that most Mastodon users have no idea exists because its instances are heavily banned by default.

The GCs are uniting in their grief over Rod Liddle's death, a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend and said he couldn't be a teacher because he'd rape the kids. He was also a vicious racist, long before it was so profitable. He hated trans people, so, to these 'feminists' he's a hero.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

“You’re a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, how come you don’t like Palantir?” “You’re a huge fan of 1984, how come you don’t like the surveillance state?” “You’re a huge fan of Fahrenheit 451, how come you don’t like ritual book burnings?”

ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press

I wish I had that kind of money.

The Democratic establishment LOVED this guy, and thought he could be President. Contrast that with how they’ve treated our current Mayor

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

they're so wealthy and removed from everyday concerns that they have literally no problems of their own to think about and so instead they focus on the perceived attack on their personal dignity which is having to cohabitate with and acknowledge people who are different from them

as any trans person will tell you, in britain "dignified" is code for "you aint getting healthcare"

I really don’t know what to say about this to be honest, but there it is

another one is that you can't become a train conductor/engineer if you have an autism diagnosis in sweden. which, i mean, you know... the whole industry is operating on "don't ask don't tell" here it's so cruel how this is weaponized against neurodivergent people instead of the legal system

Republicans: ok guys so what we're gonna do is just keep trying the same thing, over and over and over again even if it won't work. Eventually it will. Just keep at it relentlessly. Took us 50 years with Roe but look we did it. Democrats: listen buddy it just doesn't work that way, we can't just
