Outsized effect on the vegan powders really helps explain the crunchies veering into anti-vax waters too.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

He even tries to Babe Ruth it, pointing at the camera in the wind up. If it were NYC or Chicago, shock jocks would be hounding this guy for days.

Lmao, wait, hold on... I'm wheezing.

You reply pedantically to a post explicitly calling out pedantry, and then follow up with "I will not be tolerating any pedantry directed AT ME"

That's fucking hilarious.

The attack on Portland was supposed to make the place look like a lawless hellhole. Instead, the authorities have succeeded in making it look like the most fun city in the world.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Who exactly do you think you’re rallying by insulting anyone who is unhappy with Dem response over the last 8 months?

People are saying “we expect more from our electeds” and your response is “no, you complainers are lazy. Unlike like me!”

You really think that’s helpful in building support?

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

What if the connection between reactionary MAGA politics and the sexual abuse of children is deeper than we want to admit?

The name for this idea is pedocon theory.

Calling a rally against King-like authority in America “anti-American” is really just a spit in the face to the founding principles of this country.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't remember bosses feeling the need to force their employees to use cell phones, PCs, or the internet.

New from 404 Media: an internal Meta message we obtained tells employees on its metaverse team that they should be using AI to “go 5x faster”. That's 5 times faster, not 5 percent more.

Meta Tells Workers Building Metaverse to Use AI to ‘Go 5x Faster’

Meta says that its coders should be working five times faster and that it expects "a 5x leap in productivity."
