NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

"Landlords should be free to charge as much as they want, employers should be free to pay as little as they want, corporations should be free to fire as many people as they want, and if you can't thread the needle between these freedoms for the rest of your life, it's all your fault."

The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...
She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald’s. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter. Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for “companionship” with young women looking to make money. What followed would set off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of one of the men she would encounter, Representative Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican.

Interesting to which issues prompt judges to get worked up about other judges deciding cases in line with their personal ideological agendas.

Historian David Wyman estimates that approximately 200,000 fewer Jews would have been murdered in the Holocaust if the US had not passed the Immigration Act of 1924.

That is what JD Vance is out there defending right now.

If you’re spending your time bashing Democrats for what Republicans are doing with their full control of government,

You are anti-LGBTQ.

You are anti-Black.

You are anti-immigrant.

You are antisemitic and Islamophobic.

You are anti-choice.

You are anti-science.

You are a collaborator.
