The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

100%. Nothing cooler than getting to the register only to be told you can get X thing because SNAP won't cover it.
Unless you’ve been on SNAP or had to be a cashier in a grocery store while someone discovers the insane restrictions placed on SNAP food choices, I simply think you should shut the hell up about food access.

I was a food stamp kid, 100%. I'd wager some of these douches vying for its demise were also. Nothing quite like patting yourself on the back for depriving people, especially children, access to food.
More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

@dotdot.horse challenged me to a contest of skill. I accepted.

Eldoria. She is now... TOASTED!

Thanks to @toastit.dev for the awesome BurntToast library!

For giggles, Eldoria will use BurntToast to create and update a toast during battles. :)

@allwayshype.com Just listened to the recent PowerShell Podcast episode and it was awesome! BTW - shoutouts to MySpace code editing (I did the same thing back in the day). Gradient background CSS FTW.

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
