the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

I think it's pretty great that horny shippers and genre luminaries have saved publishing in a time where everything that *isn't* reading a book just steamrolls our attention. They don't get nearly the plaudits they deserve.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

It's gonna be wild if we break the record for longest shutdown and it's entirely because the president is a pedo and every Republican who spent the last 6 years priming a qanon base is now like "Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no"

Incapable of getting excited about any Star wars books, (aside from being glad when good people are getting paid to write them), after the Galaxy's Edge/Journey To IX publications & then TRoS itself demonstrated how little the Story Group founded by Kiri Hart really mattered.
The star war publishing a romance novel to cash in on the wave of romance novels—lots of which are based on their own characters—instead of just…cashing in on those existing characters.

Just funny to me.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
