if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

This is cool! What the fuck is the framing from business insider though.
“A wave of anti-AI ads is appearing on TV screens, billboards, and social media feeds worldwide, as big brands tap into consumers' weariness with the technology.”
Big brands are cashing in on your AI ick
Heineken, Aerie, and Polaroid have joined the anti-AI wave, cozying up to customers who dig an analog life.

They got Claudine Gay out of the Harvard presidency over a footnote.
