The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

That’s by design. Billionaires monetize rage bait, and it has the added bonus of keeping us fighting with each other while they rob us blind. But one day soon, all the anger from the culture wars they’ve cultivated to distract us from the class war will be turned on them.

One of the biggest revelations of the social media age imo is how much people are addicted to getting mad, so much so that they'll actively create reasons when there are none.

BRENNAN: Should Americans have safety concerns about flying at this point?

DUFFY: That's a great question. We work overtime to make sure the system is safe. But we have to be honest. Does it add more risk to the system? Sure it does. We don't want crashes.

If there is a word that describes the second Trump administration, it’s brazen. While I certainly hold open the possibility that dark deeds are being done in secret, one thing that is remarkable is how open and obvious he is with his self-dealing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/o...

In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters.

In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. ...

you really do not want to start rolling back section 230 protections with an ascendant far-right populist movement in power. there is a reason why some of the statute's strongest critics began rethinking their approach after Dobbs. (generative AI companies are exempt from this argument)

After Game 5 vs. After Game 7

It's almost as if sports commentary is an exercise of post-facto rationalizations!
Los Angeles Times tweet on October 31: "The richest team in baseball is splitting apart at the seams, tearing under stress, fraying beyond recognition, collecting on the floor of the 2025 season in heaping piles of disappointment" Los Angeles Times tweet from last night: "New Times book "Dynasty" commemorating back-to-back Dodgers World Series wins is on sale now"
