I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

When I taught middle school in Texas, the summer program was a community builder. Students got out of the heat and off the street, with supervised access to the gym, library, and art rooms. Everyone got fed. Each day, many asked if they could take the extra food home.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

It is no comfort to tell someone who is struggling that others have it worse. At best, you add guilt to their worries. At worst, you invoke wider despair. A true warrior knows not to borrow trouble, and to help your comrades, not add to their burdens.

they are not suicidal they are homicidal. Nothing every happens to the squirrels, they juke at the last min and the drivers and cars get rekt

I moved to the country. I knew about coyotes. Bobcats. Rattlesnakes, black widows, and so on. It has become my opinion that not enough is made of the dangers posed by suicidal baby squirrels.

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue

A man has been using Facebook to terrorize his ex and their children. He brags about it: “I want her to worry about who’s waiting on the corner.” But police do nothing and nobody seems to take it seriously. Chilling story from Stacy St Clair and Joe Mahr www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/07/f...

How one man uses Facebook to frighten his children's mother and why police do nothingwww.chicagotribune.com An analysis of data from nearly two dozen Illinois police departments found police rarely arrest people for electronic harassment, even as complaints increase.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Just finished season two of “Interview with the Vampire.” What a show! It’s absolutely littered with toxic, manipulative bottoms and we love to see it. I need season three IMMEDIATELY. And I need justice for Claudia.

Everyone keeps talking about how there’s no media (books/tv/movies) that mention the pandemic or how no one *wants* media that addresses it but like…do you think the rise of dragon popularity has nothing to do with grief over being powerless? Maybe we’re just not looking hard enough idk.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

NYT: Is fraud, sexual assault, slander, obstruction of justice, attempted obstruction of an official proceeding, and witness tampering *really* that big a deal?

News Analysis: When Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, the U.S. was confronted with a historical novelty: a felon who once held the highest office in the land. Will the label actually tarnish Trump, as it has so many people over the centuries?

A Mark of Shame for 900 Years. Until Now?www.nytimes.com “Felon” carries an ancient stigma — one that falls on millions of Americans today. Trump might well redefine it.

I have done this for years. My go to’s are: «why are you telling me this?» and «that’s a weird thing to tell a stranger on the internet.» It’s very ok to tell people when they’re overstepping. Some folks deserve to hear it.

Some people just can't help to reply to posts with some real weird shit that comes from whatever is going on in their lives and not much you can say but "hey dude, that was weird"

Most third party candidates would have difficulty getting employment at a state fair

Unpopular fact: Most people who claim to want a viable 3rd party aren’t willing to put in any of the work at the local level to actually build a viable 3rd party from the grassroots up. Voting for a random presidential candidate once every four years isn’t going to do anything.

there's a certain irony that liberals who have spent four years yelling at leftists who criticize Biden at all for any reason have now, in one week, done more damage to Biden's candidacy than all those leftists combined

I think the freakout has been absurd and overblown and far more damaging than the debate itself, which would have been survivable if everyone had been willing to circle the wagons and push back on it I am, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, extremely concerned that the damage cannot be overcome
