I received 200 postcards (the minimum) a few days after requesting them (they're getting slammed now--yay!--so it might take a little longer). Was going to hold off on buying stamps, but they emailed today to say postage is going up this Sunday (and the USPS online store goes down Sat. night).

Journalists need to get comfortable calling things stupid when they are clearly stupid. GenAI is stupid. It's bad for everyone except scammers and chip makers. It's not editorializing to point out that GenAI is a mostly useless product and its few uses are minor compared to its profound drawbacks.

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.

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.

That Heritage Foundation statement threatening a violent revolution against the left = that moment in a movie in which the forces of evil loudly announce their evil plans. except in real life, unlike in a movie, most normal people don’t even realize this has *happened* (which is our job).

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

obviously major newspapers should call for trump to quit running for president but they shouldn't stop there. they should call on him to climb mount everest. they should strongly imply that the reason he doesn't go cave diving every weekend is because he is a cuck

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

CNN: It is not our job as debate moderators to fact-check, to make sure answers are relevant, to follow-up, to keep order, in short, to moderate at all. We could be replaced by a stopwatch and a Teddy Ruxpin carrying a pre-taped set of questions and nobody would be the wiser.

The product photos never show the power cord! If you don't have a GFI outlet within a few feet of the toilet, you would need to have one installed.
