Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one).

So tired of “if this were fiction, it would be rejected for being unrealistic” every time something a little too on the nose happens. Have any of these people read or watched ANY fiction?

Y'all, as a kid who grew up food-insecure, plz don't do this. There is nothing more demoralizing as a little kid than being reminded of your family's poverty. We looked forward to Halloween bc it was the 1 chance to be like every other kid and get access to treats the food banks never gave out.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that I'm surprised by this headline or the fact that I probably shouldn't be:

Walmart bought the mall where George Romero shot Dawn of the Dead
In 2005, when Walmart wanted to open a store in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, residents rallied to keep it out. But Walmart found its way back to Monroeville 20 years later. Instead of building a new store, though, the retailer bought an operating mall with 120 tenants for $34 million.
Why Did Walmart Just Buy a Shopping Mall?
Walmart hasn’t said much about its plans for Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. But its partner has told some store owners that the mall will be demolished for a mixed-use development.

This "what can you do with that degree" mentality is part of the problem. The attitude that everything has to serve a predetermined purpose, like a toilet plunger, is such a stunted, self-defeating way of looking at things.

My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within.

Sometimes people describe politics and they go “the pendulum swings one way, and then the other” but when did the pendulum swing away from the rich and towards the poor? Did I miss that?

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Just saw ad for Google AI helping a couple get set up in their first house. “Just ask Google.” I’ve never seen such clear evidence of why we’re all so fucking lonely. Call your parents! Call your siblings! Don’t have any? Call a friend! Ask your new neighbor! Don’t ask the surveillance company!

The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.
People constantly claim that the appeal of Republicans is that they are ‘successful’ businesspeople who will “run the country like a business”, but in reality they’re so incompetent at even the most basic tasks that they can’t even prepare a legally-mandated budget request on time.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law.

PATEL: I understand.

MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline?

PATEL: No

MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

If you think this is bad, wait until you find out about the county jails run by Sheriffs
At the Miami Krome ICE prison, detainees are held 16 hours with “tight chains around their wrists, chests, and hips on buses outside the facilities without water, food, or access to bathrooms. Guards instructed them to urinate or defecate inside the buses.”
