NEW: Americans in nearly every income group are paying more under President Trump's second term in 2026. The overall impact of inflationary policies, OBBBA's top-heavy tax cuts, and expiring health care tax credits have left savings only for the wealthiest Americans.

I figure that if they can later claim passports are being stolen and people are being impersonated, they can then implement more restrictions on people’s ability to leave the country, prove their identity, and vote.

Sometimes she left the party, sometimes she left the college. Maybe she went to another one or maybe she decided college or grad school wasn’t for her after all. Maybe she decided that career wasn’t it, and lowered her expectations for her whole damn life.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I love AI. It is REVOLUTIONARY. AI finally lets you really live your life by avoiding emotions and relationships and just full time coma-maxxing in order to preserve your life essence in a suspended state of nothingness (npcs used to call it despair? loser mindset imo)

My record collection is almost entirely records I bought at shows. I hope soon AI will go to the shows for me and talk to the bartenders and tell me who's playing drums on the new record and that they like the color of my eyes and I can maximize that time by lying in bed hooked up to a feeding tube.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

"Gavin Newsom is a Dem" "Gavin Newsom is actually a Republican" No, Gavin Newsom is rich and that's the only allegiance he has. The only thing that scummy fuckwit would ever to help others would be accidentally falling of a pedo-friend's mega yacht and making himself into a snack for the fish.

This is insane.

Under a new interpretation of the law’s language outlined in the memo, the accidental killing or injury of an animal would no longer be considered illegal; only actions specifically intending to target an animal would.

The change would be transformative because, in the United States, the killing of endangered animals almost always happens incidentally, in the course of economic activity. Until now, industries and individuals could be held accountable for those foreseeable deaths and, as a result, they have been incentivized to avoid them.
