I just got a call from my loan officer that because I had to spend my down payment on rent, I may no longer qualify for my mortgage loan

I need to come up with at least $5000 asap or my house search will be for nothing and my mom and I will be homeless in under 2 months

He was considered horrific BY THE PEOPLE WHO STARTED THE SPANISH INQUISITION

Andrew D Thaler @drandrewthaler.bsky.social · 8h

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Trump can say this is the beginning of a lasting peace all he wants, but the reality is:

The Occupation continues, settlers continue to terrorise Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza is a ruin and could collapse into civil war, and the Israeli government still does not want a Palestinian state

This cat has stories about the Crimean War that seem exciting at first and then you start feeling unease…then terror at being in his drawing room alone with him.

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 23h

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

They tried to use Christianity, but the church at large is having none of it. Two popes have embarrassed Vance, and the current one continues to.

It’s hard to whine about “religious freedom” when you’re pepper spraying clergy and denying communion to detained immigrants.

Every one of these guys is ACUTELY aware of how much power a simple cartoon frog can have. And they are also aware of how much power one person in a frog costume could have. And it’s freaking them the fuck out.

It can not be understated how much this voting block helped cement Trump’s win. They are some of his most loyal supporters. Because they took pride in the fact that they memes him into office. They take pride in that, because they have very little else to take pride in. As I said… losers.

Pepe allowed the online alt right to gather a banner behind Trump. So you had this army of absolute losers, who hadn’t bathed in years, hiding behind a frog. And no one took them seriously. Average folks were just like “You want me to be scared of the FROG people?”

“Why are they upset about the frog?”

Because the frog has power. As silly as it sounds. The frog is not just a good idea. It’s our greatest weapon.

And I’m going to explain why…

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fanboys tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.”

The More Scientists Work With AI, the Less They Trust It

A preliminary report shows that researchers' confidence in AI software dropped off a cliff over the last year.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

Yes it is reckless, but we all know that most businesses would rather burn down their own buildings than have sensible business practices. These companies would jump into an active volcano if they thought it would make them rick quick.
