no exhale valve means an even dumber failure mode: even without the weird bubbler you're trying to breathe in *and* out through the same long tube

This isn’t a focus in the Discourse because the loudest voices with the biggest platforms are people who have never worried about their next meal. I’ve needed SNAP; I’ve used SNAP; I’ve lost it when it mattered. This is going to be a wave of mass starvation beyond living memory in this country.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Cops routinely assault people they know aren't armed. They brutalize people already in their custody as a matter of course. They certainly aren't actually that gung-ho about fighting people who do actually have a gun, then they'll sit around for an hour on their phone.

I agree, only rich people should be allowed to own guns. This makes sense somehow

'content creator' especially is a very bleak piece of corporate-speak that nobody should identify with. I used it for myself sometimes, years ago, and it was because I didn't have the confidence to call myself a writer. we cannot let ourselves call art 'content', we just can't

What's crazy is that Platner could easily go on a whole "I'm sorry I was a moron" tour and make a big show of, like, idk, getting the Hitler tat removed - and it would probably work! But he's just getting defensive over it and doubling down. Clown shit

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 15h

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 2d

I do think however it is also simultaneously true that Mamdani has managed to acquire the support of the bulk of the Democratic establishment. This was done in spite of, though, the endemic Islamophobia and racial animosity towards nonwhite politicians sympathetic to Palestinians.
