The extent of Google's enshittification is wild.

I recently migrated away from Gmail but I still check in to make sure I don't miss anything major.

I swear spammers could literally write "This is a scam, I am trying to scam you" in subject lines and it would get past their spam filters.

I've heard several high profile Democrats claim in the past week that they're shocked anyone cares about AIPAC or that they haven't even thought about AIPAC in recent memory.

I'm not sure if this is an indictment of how out of touch they are or if they really are that afraid to even acknowledge it.

Google Trends chart for five years of interest in AIPAC search term. Increases significantly in late 2023 and then again dramatically to an all-time high in 2025.

Do they have blackmail on all of these people? I mean seriously, does AIPAC literally have all these people's nudes and private DMs or something?

At what point do the cons of AIPAC money outweigh the benefits?

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Why do people always skip the point of the bad apples phrase. A bad apple spoils the bunch. Allowing “bad apples” to be part of your group makes the whole group bad.

New — Donald Trump officially proclaims October 14, 2025 a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.

Comes as the Trump State Department targeted at least 6 people in the US, revoking their visas, for their speech on Kirk.

NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
FOR CHARLIE KIRK
Proclamations
October 14. 2025
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On the afternoon of Wednesday, September 10, 2025, pure evil struck when the legendary Charlie Kirk was assassinated in broad daylight in a campus courtyard, triggering a groundswell of righteous fury all across our land. Today, our Nation honors the immortal memory of Charlie - a father, a husband, a Christian martyr, and a titan of the American conservative movement. We honor his life, we send our condolences to his beautiful family, and we pledge to advance the values for which he laid down his life.
Every day, Charlie devoted himself to a set of simple causes: Defending the truth, encouraging debate, and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was gracious and articulate beyond measure, always welcomed opposing perspectives, and never deviated from his noble goal of bridging our political, cultural, and philosophical divides.
As we mourn this extraordinary loss, my Administration will continue to do everything in its power to end this devastating wave of political violence. No civilized country can endure a culture where open debate is met with gunfire, the pursuit of truth is met with bloodshed, and love of country is met with seething hatred. In Charlie's absence, we are now tasked with continuing his mission of giving voice to our cherished American ideals with confidence and clarity. Like him, we must not flinch in the face of darkness and hostility - and we must never waver in speaking the truth with joyful and steadfast resolve.
Today, on what would have been his 32nd birthday, our Nation honors the loving memory of Charlie Kirk. We offer our condolences to his beautiful wife, Erika, and two precious children.
We call on every American to pray for peace in our public square. Above all, we renew our resolve to always defend our principles of truth, faith, and the open exchange of ideas.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRU…

Finally some advice I can get behind.

Financial Advisors Recommend Throwing Away Unopened Bills

NEW YORK—Calling the strategy an “effective solution” for anyone feeling weighed down by economic hardship, a group of leading financial advisors recommended Tuesday throwing any unopened bills in the trash. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by invoices piling up—those things are the worst—so just get rid of them,” said Goldman Sachs advisor Adam Bridge, adding […]

Nope! It's pretty good. Many brands have gotten better lately, you just have to avoid the Daiya-tier cheeses. Miyoko's Creamery, Chao, and Treeline are pretty legit, IMO.

Disclosure: I haven't eaten real cheese in a decade.
