Yeah this whole premise is so dumb. We called all kinds of people aunt, uncle, cousin, quite a few who were just close family friends who earned the title.

This is a horror story for Jamaica. Climate change is making storms like #HurricaneMelissa more intense.

If democratic members of Congress could function, this is probably one of millions of times ICE is violating constitutional rights. It would be great to see if they care enough to do their jobs and investigate this

ICE agents violently tackled a father and his teenage son on their way to school—sending the 16-year-old, a U.S. citizen and star athlete, to the hospital with back and neck injuries.

“I was just going to school,” he cried. “I’m underage!”

Current #Melissa eye diameter of 10nm & 45km wide hurricane force winds projected along current track wouldn't bring much wind impact to Kingston (SE Jamaica). So any eyewall replacement and widening of the storm could bring Kingston into play. But the surge is another beast altogether...
Listen I like festive decorations as much as the next guy but we have people about to starve so maybe use the money you were going to use on this to donate to folks suffering. Also the reason pumpkins are fun is because you decorate them, usually with your kids. Do that instead of paying someone
Demand for sophisticated pumpkin porch displays has skyrocketed in the past couple of years, providing an opportunity for hopeful entrepreneurs, most of whom are women, to make a profit using their creativity and project-management expertise.
Luxury pumpkin porches are the latest trend in holiday decorating

Corporate profits have hit record highs.

CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.

We're subsidizing corporations that pay lousy wages by funding food stamps with our taxpayer dollars.

Yet too many focus their ire on the working poor who need help instead of targeting corporate greed.
SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.

I can’t even follow the logic of this. He really hates farmers

$27,000. The average cost per person for the National Health Service (NHS) in England in 2022-23 was £3,300 and it costs that person nothing if they need care while we spend thousands on top of insurance to get care, and that’s only if the insurance company doesn’t deny you. What are we even doing?
The cost of health insurance rose steeply for a third year in a row in 2025, reaching just under $27,000 for a family plan, according to an annual survey.

Higher spending on chronic diseases, weight-loss drugs and hospital bills helped drive the increase.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?

TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

The thing about 7 billionaire freaks passing the same increasingly large wad of IOUs back and forth, is that only a pundit could possibly think this translates to increasing prosperity for everyone else.
"We'd have a recession if it wasn't for all the AI spending" actually means "We are in a recession which is partially obfuscated *from statistics* (and nobody else) by rich people playing silly buggers with large transactions between each other".
