It feels so good to believe in people again. Holy shit was tonight a shot in the arm. I hope every spineless CEO and sitting official takes sees what’s coming and makes changes now. We have a long way to go, but imagine how great this will feel when we keep showing up. Voting matters. Congrats all.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Column B has checkmark boxes for whether the planets have rings: the outer planets’ boxes are checked, and Earth has a red check. [Earth with a ring with an array pf points around it. An arrow labeled “Geostationary Satellite Bel”t points to the ring.] [caption] Astronomy fact: A century ago, Earth didn’t have rings, but we have one now! It’s where all the satellite dishes are pointed.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn’t cause autism.
Miniscule trace pesticide residues don’t cause autism.
Aluminum doesn’t cause autism.
Fluoride doesn’t cause autism.

The biggest predictor of autism?
Genetics.

And we recognize autism better today.

Funny, they say the Wave have California but when I went to the Wave ACFC game in San Diego it was like 40% Angel City fans and the stadium was half empty. How can they have three states when they don’t even have their own stadium?
