Years ago the Supreme Court ruled that anyone under age 18 could have a legally mandated bedtime as anyone under the age of 18 is a child.
So this weekend, as the press talks about these "young women" in the files, ask yourselves "Could they have a bedtime?"
Because THEY WERE FUCKING CHILDREN!

I fucking hate to do this again, but I can't get any of my back SSI/SSDI funds anytime soon while looking for a new social worker and will be absolutely broke during the holidays. I also need $80 for my share of the utilities, which is more important. Please help if you can.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

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.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

I really hate this man. I hope the only remembrance of him when he goes, is the public restroom that is his grave.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
