Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

Ganarle al calor no es un juego. Campesinos, queremos recordarles que tienen derecho a agua fresca, descansos pagados, sombra y más. Por favor, cuídense durante este calor extremo y exijan sus derechos. #Calor

A Spanish language "beat the heat" loteria card with the winning hand going diagonally from the bottom left to the top right with water, shade, rest, equipment.

Beating the heat is not a game. Farm workers, we want to remind you that you have the right to fresh water, paid breaks, shade, and more. Please take care of yourselves during this extreme heat and demand your rights.

If they ever make a movie about Trump II, Timothy Olyphant's would be perfect casting for Pete Hegseth, a man who desperately wishes with every fiber of his alcholic being to be Raylan Givens

We all have to be one of two people now: The person who rips these fucking things off the face of anyone doing this, OR, the bystanders who 100% have the back of the person who rips the fucking things off the face. The aggressives and the passives must unite to make it unsafe to wear these.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

The videos can't capture the scope of what's happening. ICE is out of control. ICE accosted a man on his way to a medical appointment, handcuffed him, and forced him back to his house. Agents conducted a warrantless invasion of his home, where his 3 minor US citizen kids lived

someone will call him Hete Pegseth and hell get all flustered and do a bunch of pushups till he shits himself or something and itll only be like 23 pushups

(1) clearly invoke your 6th amendment right to counsel (2) clearly invoke your 5th amendment right to remain silent (3) shut up You can’t talk to cops. They aren’t your friends. Theyre not there to help you. They’ve targeted you & are looking to build a case against you. Don’t help them.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

We could, and just hear me out, not give a fuck about able bodied persons receiving the benefits of accommodations. This is actually what we should do about it: nothing. Not a fucking thing. supposed "grift" is only a problem in a world looking for an excuse to deny accommodations.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
