Think about it this way: what if your tax dollars were used to buy sophisticated surveillance equipment and guns, and then the cops never killed your dog? Wouldn’t you feel ripped off?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
posting “having children is a class signifier” in the leftist discord and turning my notifs off
Remembering all the automotive journalists joking about the “revolving door” between media and PR. The line is basically erased if you’re talking about cars.

I follow craig around social media websites letting people know that revenge porn laws exist because of him and it makes him really mad
Roger (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · 2w agoDoes everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...
I love how the Wikipedia summary of Black Rifle Coffee is that they’re racist frauds

About 10% of the money we make on @bloodwork.show is held hostage by Apple every month. If you want to be sure your money fully goes to the creators you support, changing your billing from iOS to the web version of Patreon ensure that happens.
doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me
disturbed not just by the uncanny expressions of the animated cereal mascots, but by their binocular vision, which implies they are predators
Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off
Part Time Yeen@parttimeyeen.bsky.social · 6mo agoAny of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

The Ram 2500 was found in another study to be the closest-associated with DUI crashes. It’s almost like there’s a pattern of Dodge/Ram marketing to the worst people on the road.

suddenly reminded that the automobile was popularized in part as a means of segregation, and that basically all the arguments against bike lanes boil down to wanting the vestiges of that segregation enforced

either I’m dean of engineering at UT Tullahoma’s aerospace campus or wading through chest-deep water around compromised high-voltage lines because my ship is sinking and I’m using a mattress to stop it from splitting in two
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · last wk.Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
I put a Spotify code on my rear window. Today, at a red light, I saw someone take a photo of it and proceed to laugh their a** off. This is what the code plays. 🦭
Pie in the sky, but it's pretty clear PPA/Safer Portland was doing straight up fraud in their signature gathering, and they should be punished. Somebody call the cops! anyhoo, continue to eat shit, losers
Willamette Week@wweek.com · last wk.The initiative seeking to reroute 25% of Portland Clean Energy Fund tax revenues to hiring some 400 police officers has failed the first level of signature verification necessary to place it on the November ballot.
