Hopefully this is the last new social media account I ever have to make 😂 Mostly here to lurk and keep up with news and repost some things I think are important. Bay Area.

My grandma in Alaska will not hear a negative word about Trump but also acknowledged she doesn't really follow the news. So yea I'm sure she believes costs are down

Correct, once Trump is out of office, everyone will "just want to go back to normal" which is to say nobody gets prosecuted and the Republicans will be back to passionately caring (lol) about how your tax dollars are spent.

"The Envy of the World" was how The Economist described the US economy two weeks before the 2024 election.

Thanks for the wealth of information in this article and not one bit of skepticism that this is politically motivated. 🫠 /s

This is possibly the worst thing I have ever read. It should be the only headline on every news source. It won't be. If you've experienced sexual assault, maybe don't read the details.

CA prop 38 is a scam - vote NO. For example see: This CA proposition will send $4 billion to a single nonprofit. Who’s behind it? calmatters.org/politics/ele...
calmatters.org
Is this proposition a $4 billion giveaway to a billionaire’s LA research center?
Proposition 38 will award $4 billion to one unnamed research center. Under the very specific criteria, only one center seemingly qualifies.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

Thanks to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, Grok is probably now running a promo on video recreations of the event

By the end of the meeting the chat was filled with people who couldn't get the Copilot button to show up in their Outlook 😂

Our (industrial manufacturing) company had a 'copilot prompting training' which I found out was led by a Microsoft employee and early on she goes "and Copilot now incorporates Grok too" as if that's not a horrifying statement. Anyway...

I'm sure they'd have every rich LSU booster talking to players about how unions just take your money and don't give you anything, probably issue some Executive Order about being a Right to Work state, sue the NCAA for anything they could find, etc

And then 5 seconds later every red state governor pulls out every trick to stop the unionization aspect of it (Not saying we shouldn't do it. This is an amazing proposal, just imagining the imminent shenanigans)

Every stage of the process is under a vapor recovery system, from the tanks at the refinery to the gas station tanks to the gas pumps and into your gas tank. You won't lose any noticeable volume.

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

Every clip I see of James Carville he's sitting on his couch with a shitty laptop camera looking like my 86yo grandpa in his comfy layered clothes a few months before he died. Jesus, at least they can wriggle McConnell into a suit.

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

Thank you for focusing so much on this and making it worse for that handful of people. I'm sure nobody cares about the illegal war, fuel prices, the fact that every sector of the food industry is plagued with contamination and disease and that drinking water is no longer a right in this country.
