That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Joe Sheehan absolutely, 100% nails it. The Dodgers aren't the problem. They're doing what we want ALL of our teams to do - trying to win. Don't make the Dodgers your 'villain'. The problem is teams that don't feel like they need to try. side note: Promotion and Relegation would fix this instantly

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

Sorry to be Uncle Marxism but employer-based healthcare is a tool of social control for the ruling class

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

this is going to kill so many people. :(

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Huh. MAYBE England should have brought a backup Right Back? I'm not a professional football coach, but...

That was crazy impressive by Spain. Completely choked the life out of probably the strongest attacking line in the world and simply controlled the game start to finish.

I’m proud to announce the winner of this year’s Being Confidently Wrong Award. Congratulations to everyone on social media posting about the video games industry. They really earned this one.

Obsidian lost many excellent developers and wonderful people today. If you see them on your feed, please share their posts and celebrate their work.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

America was never going to truly become a Soccer Nation until we strong-armed FIFA in a completely corrupt transaction that benefits us at the expense of the concept of fairness. So, congrats to us!

let’s fucking go

fireworks outside the visiting team hotel all night.... unprecedented, suspicious administrative ruling undoing a suspension ... sorry world you're on CONCACAF turf now, these concacolors don't run baby

Cape Verde has a population of 500k. C'mon, you crazy bastards. NO FREAKING FEAR!! Seize history!!!

2 cuts of ‘SUPERGIRL’ were screened to test audiences — one from Craig Gillespie & one from DC Studios. Gillespie’s version was 11 minutes longer and featured more of the villain, Krem. The cut from DC Studios was the one chosen for release. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

and I just think Leo went “yeah no fuck this, they had their chances, there’s no compromising with these people,” and I think the reason this is all so satisfying even to non-Catholics is that we all want to see people like this actually removed from their access to power but it happens so rarely

By the way - Happy Bobby Bonilla day to those that celebrate...

That might be the worst red card I've ever seen given. There was no lack of control, and no intent to injure. Actually rigged or just a ref with brain damage? I can't tell...

FLO you beautiful bastard! Can't take THAT goal from ya!! #USMNT

if congo pull this off i want the british museum empty by midnight

So shocking that the message "I will work to make things better" is more effective than "I will not personally feed you to the orphan crushing machine (but I won't vote to turn it off)".

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Back when Netflix mailed DVDs, their site was about connecting with your friends. "Your friend Pete just watched North By Northwest. Can you guess how he rated it?" "Larra LOVED one of these movies but HATED the other two! Can you guess which?" It was awesome so they killed it.

Can I ask y’all a genuine question? In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

The Bengali Knicks poet and the Sikh dholi guys combined forces for a follow-up! Now we just need the sewing machine guy and the ride a bike with stuff on his head guy to meet.

Thank you, birthright citizenship, for that goal
