We are living in a dystopian hellscape stop yucking other people's yums about inconsequential shit like music or movies. Maybe they need that happy moment to get through the day. Just. Let people feel good about something.

USPS isn't a business, it doesn't need to profit.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Can someone explain to me why they think an administration that’s been carrying out war crimes for a year straight with impunity would impeach someone when they have all houses of power

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

Pink got a raw deal. It's no longer just a color in a box, but a construct that was forced down my throat so hard as a kid, I HATED IT for years.
It wasn't until I realized that pink hadn't chosen this--weird talking monkeys who advertise their potato baby's pants parts--did. I forgave pink then.

I need for music streaming to have a setting that isn't like or dislike but...don't play this for at least a month. I'm still at the stage of grief that sad song WILL make me bawl, but it won't always be like that.
