PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

it's not the most important issue right now but I would *really* like to see Democrats who want to be president announcing in no uncertain terms that anything this goober manages to carve his name on, it comes off. anything he builds, it gets torn down.

It’s crazy how many game preorder listings on Switch and PSN are just pure AI scams. The studios don’t exist and neither do the games. Just saw a fake farming game up for preorder with obvious AI “Ghibli” art and could not find anything about it online. The “publisher’s” site listed only this “game”
