Fixing the problems we face requires more action in community than just voting, but I believe they also require voting, especially in primaries and local elections.
CVS and Walgreens have about as much staffing as a Dollar General at this point, with a similar amount of stock. The reason they’re locking everything up isn’t because crime is rampant, it’s because there’s barely anyone working in the stores.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

All joking aside, this feels a bit misogynistic to me. If the UCI are that worried about marginal aero gains then why are they not targeting those ridiculous TT helmets. Or even checking riders in male tts for chest padding? www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE
Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds
A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

RU or US or Israel? Maybe joining militaries? So confusing nowadays. But Ministry of War would mean US with the Pro-War Secretary.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

"Knagglig" means bumpy or uneven, and "kugga" can mean "to fail", so - works pretty well, actually.
… I’d probably skip a book which used swearing as ”meta-syntactic variables” as the Sage would have it. Profanity can be a refuge when you can’t think of a more descriptive term - a kind of cognitive laziness. Creative profanity, on the other hand: rock the fuck out… 3/3
I probably wouldn’t have bought the kids “Fuckety Bunny Goes To Market” unless it was a book about how and when (and when not) to use profanity. I’d choke on something that was mean-spirited or just nasty, and… 2/n
We didn‘t particularly restrict swear words, but did insist on the right context, with the consequence that our teens swear fluently and appropriately but not in front of teachers or their grandma etc. I sort of want the same from a book. If it’s about trench war I’d expect some swearing. 1/n
Parents! What's the WORST swearword you'd be comfortable with your 8-12 year old reading in a story? Where do we stand on "arse"? (please be as prissy as you like, I'm trying to balance "word I want to use" with "can I be arsed with the complaints"?)
