The most recent post from a folded wet sock who has a strongly worded letter.
NEW: The Trump administration is ordering states to 'immediately undo' any action to provide full SNAP benefits during the GOP shutdown.
42 million Americans rely on SNAP to eat. Trump is demanding that they go hungry.

That (NPR!) journalists think AI is a creative engine that can finesse iconic productions is not just context for the crap quality of writing in media but alarmingly the inability among a class of supposedly professional scrutinizers to distinguish between art and slop, good and bad, truth and lie

Jacobs must resign as chair of the NY Dem party if he cannot support what Dem voters have chosen. He should resign today, or continue to do very serious damage to the party.

Like others have commented, I’ve lived in an apartment that was stabilized and the landlord did not give us the rider because they were trying to illegally destabilize it. I only learned that the unit should have been stabilized from longtime tenants of the building.
Cuomo says Mamdani's claim that he didn't know his apartment was rent-stabilized when he moved in is "implausible to me."

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.
