Posting xkcd.com/1357/ here so I can pin it
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class. But they've overcome their shyness now; they're calling me "Your Highness," and the world screams "Kiss me, Son of God."

There’s actually a subtle brilliance at play here. If you rely on the dimmest people to put and keep you in power, you can tell them the stupidest shit and they will completely lack the mental capacity to detect the lie.
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.

But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

What the fuck man. I can clearly hear full-sized chopper rotors nearby, but flightradar24 shows nothing for like 20 miles. Where is my shoulder-operated SAM?

As @owillis.bsky.social says, FIGHT AND WIN.
JUST IN: USDA informs states they will comply with court order and release SNAP funds as court battle drags out. Funds could be available as soon as today.

It appears that people being able to eat is now an emergency.

Gotta say the impromptu call-and-response was pretty cool. Especially because it worked so well.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."

God damn that was brutal. “Let that be the last time I say his name” is such a huge flex.

I am gonna be pissed if these assholes were bluffing. I’m really looking forward to NYC being nicer next time I visit.

Oh, and they’re calling prop 50 already, based on exit polls.

The real question is: what lesson will the Democratic party take away from this? That they can run progressive candidates and win? Or that they need to work even harder to oppose fresh blood like Mamdani so this doesn't happen again. I know which one would be smart, and I know which one will happen.

There is apparently something about NYC that I thoroughly do not understand. One of this things is WAY THE FUCK not like the others.
